About this product
Product Information
Stereo is everywhere. The whole culture and industry of music and sound became organized around the principle of stereophony during the twentieth century. But nothing about this-not the invention or acceptance or ubiquity of stereo-was inevitable. Nor did the aesthetic conventions, technological objects, and listening practices required to make sense of stereo emerge fully formed, out of the blue. This groundbreaking book uncovers the vast amount of work that has been required to make stereo seem natural, and which has been necessary to maintain stereo's place as a dominant mode of sound reproduction for over half a century. The essays contained within this book are thematically grouped under (Audio) Positions, Listening Cultures, and Multichannel Sound and Screen Media; the cumulative effect is to advance research in music, sound, and media studies and to build new bridges between the fields. With contributions from leading scholars across several disciplines, Living Stereo re-tells the history of twentieth-century aural and musical culture through the lens of stereophonic sound.

Reviews
"In this volume, Théberge, Devine and Everrett have gathered together a fascinating body of writing on the technical, psychological and social construction of stereo. The collection represents another important step in the growing body of scholarship on how recorded music differs from music on the concert stage and in the score. While the individual chapters provide some fine grained detail, the editors have situated them into the broader context of the burgeoning new discipline of sound studies. " --Dr. Simon Zagorski-Thomas, Co-Chair of the Association for the Study of the Art of Record Production & Reader in Music, London College of Music, UK "This timely, rich and compelling book traces the staging of auditory perspective and experience in stereo sound at home, the concert hall, the cinema and beyond. It situates stereo sound so carefully in historical and contemporary cultures of science, commerce and listening that the book is itself a "sweet spot" in studies of sound and music." --Karin Bijsterveld, Professor of Science, Technology & Modern Culture, Maastricht University, Netherlands "Sound technology is increasingly understood as sound technologies. There is no single technology that informs the recording and reproduction of sound, but a vast array of different technologies, drawn from the separate fields of telephony, music recording, radio, film, television, and gaming, not to mention military applications of sound technology used in sonar equipment. As the study of individual sound technologies has evolved into the new field of "sound studies," scholars have begun to rethink the relations between and among different forms of sound technology. Living Stereo provides a site and a topic that serves as an exemplary model of recent scholarship on sound from the vantage point of outstanding scholars drawn from an array of disparate fields. The result is a multi-channel portrait--perhaps "soundscape" would be a better term -- of stereophonic sound from the 1880s to the present. " --John Belton, Professor of English and Film, Rutgers University, USA "Like the best of anthologies, Living Stereo not only brings together a broad array of exciting work on its subject but also suggests that much work remains to be done. Rather than simply previewing the essays that follow, the introduction provides a conceptual basis for future engagements with stereo (and indeed other media technologies) in terms of technological practices, systems of cultural assumptions, and the intersection of commercial constraints and the logistics of listening." --Steve Wurtzler, Professor of Cinema Studies, Colby College, USA, In this volume, Théberge, Devine and Everrett have gathered together a fascinating body of writing on the technical, psychological and social construction of stereo.
