Reviews

"""The seemingly futile struggle of trying to describe sounds around us is truly revelatory in the hands of these thinkers. From raspy bird song to humming tops, sub bass wobble to He�, Goception to geroezemoes, klang to musicistica, it's a magical and exotic lexicon from the imagined to the real."" --Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), electronic musician and sound designer ""This wonderful book invites us into dozens of fantastical sound worlds, each with its own local guide, anthropologist or storyteller eager to lead us through regions and languages real and imagined, human and non-human. We return from these travels delighted and amazed, equipped with a conceptual and sonic imagination vastly expanded and an auditory vocabulary wildly enriched."" --Christoph Cox, Dean of Eugene Lang College, The New School, USA, and co-editor of Audio Culture, Revised Edition (Bloomsbury, 2017) ""Delving into the intricate relationships between language, sound, and our capacity to verbalize sonic experiences, A Sound Word Almanac invites readers into a vibrant exploration of auditory terminology, affording a fresh perspective on sound. Transcending the confines of conventional lexicons, this almanac embarks on an original linguistic expedition, offering a recollection of rare, unfamiliar, and largely unknown words. Emphasizing artistic, experimental, and personal perspectives from different languages and cultural spaces, this book is both original and unique, creating a whole new research field. Like a terminological colourful kaleidoscope, A Sound Word Almanac is a great read that will revamp your relationship with sound and sonic events."" --Paulo de Assis, pianist, experimental performer, and Principal Investigator, Orpheus Institute, Belgium"
