Sound arts now is a book written by Cathy Lane and Angus Carlyle, it fouses on sound art in the present tense (2010/20’s) and leans away from focusing on the “white men from the north” and gives a much more global insight into sound art in the present day. The book consists of 20 interviews taken with a range of international artists each bringing their own unique perspectives and ideas on sound art. Although I could not rent the book from the library as they did not have a copy, I was able to do research on the book online and using CRISAP I managed to find a excerpt of the book on the LCC UAL website. The excerpt is from the end of the book after all of the 20 interviews have concluded and the authors and talking within themselves, they discuss how the interviews have went and what they would do if they could do it again such as the guests not talking about their theoretical concerns as much as they might have wanted to.
“listening is presented as a medium or modality, a genre or a discipline in itself; on the other hand, maybe it is the exact opposite, with listening becoming subsumed, becoming a reflexive part and parcel of what a critical practitioner does?”
