504 Includes bibliographical references and index.
505 0 Sound, resonance, the philosophy of qi -- A brief history
of sound in China's contemporary art -- A brief history of
electronic and experimental music in China -- Shanshui-
thought in experimental music practice -- In praise of
strange sounds of the shamanistic -- Ubiquitous control :
from cosmic bell, loudspeakers to immanent humming.
520 "From the late 1990s until today, China's sound practice
has been developing in an increasingly globalized socio-
political-aesthetic milieu, receiving attentions and
investments from the art world, music industry and
cultural institutes, with nevertheless, its unique
acoustic philosophy remaining silent. This book traces the
history of sound practice from contemporary Chinese visual
art back in the 1980s, to electronic music, which was
introduced as a target of critique in the 1950s, to
electronic instrument building fever in the late 1970s and
early 1980s, and to the origins of both academic and
nonacademic electronic and experimental music activities.
This expansive tracing of sound in the arts resonates with
another goal of this book, to understand sound and its
artistic practice through notions informed by Chinese qi-
cosmology and qi-philosophy, including notions of
resonance, shanshui (mountains-waters), huanghu
(elusiveness and evasiveness), and distributed
monumentality and anti-monumentality. By turning back to
deep history to learn about the meaning and function of
sound and listening in ancient China, the book offers a
refreshing understanding of the British sinologist Joseph
Needham's statement that 'Chinese acoustics is acoustics
of qi.' and expands existing conceptualization of sound
art and contemporary music at large."--|cProvided by
