New modes
of listening and methods for contemporary sound art practices

Our contemporary, globalised society demands new forms
of listening. But what are these new forms? In Listening to the Other, Stefan Östersjö challenges conventional
understandings of the ways musicians listen. He develops a transmodal
understanding of listening that is situated in the body—a body that is extended
by its mediation through musical instruments and other technologies. Listening
habits can turn these tools—and even the body itself—into resistant objects or
musical Others. Supported by extensive multimedia documentation and drawing on
examples from the author’s own artistic projects spanning electronics,
intercultural collaboration, and ecological sound art, this volume enables
musicians to learn how to approach musical Others through alternative modes of
listening and allows readers to discover artistic methods for intercultural
collaboration and ecological sound art practices.

This book is closely
linked to a series of cutting-edge artistic works, including a triple concerto
recorded with the Seattle Symphony and several video works with ecological
sound art. It represents the analytical outcomes of artistic research projects
carried out in Sweden, the UK, and Belgium between 2009 and 2015.

This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
