Hum of the World
The Hum of the World is an invitation to contemplate what would happen if we heard the world as attentively as we see it. The positive experience of aliveness is not merely in accord with sound, but inaccessible, even inconceivable, without it. Balancing big ideas, playful wit and lyrical prose, this imaginative volume identifies the role of sound in Western experience as the primary medium in which the presence and persistence of life acquires tangible form.
This warm meditation on auditory culture uncovers the knowledge and pleasure waiting when we learn that the world is alive with Lawrence Kramer's poetic book roves freely over music, media, language, philosophy, and science from the ancient world to the present, along the way revealing how life is apprehended through sounds ranging from pandemonium to the faint background hum of the world.
