'The plural histories documented in Sonic Signatures are instructive, particularly when read in relation to other theories of cultural production, the construction of difference, sociality, and auditory communities. The volume’s focus on migratory flux and cross-pollination models a scholarly approach that is both deeply historically and culturally specific, but also takes into account change and the ongoing multiple directionalities of communication and influence, particularly vis-à-vis various forms of media. Modalities of music-making, reception, and circulation are always feeding back into one another, and across social, cultural, and linguistic borders. ‘We want the aural imaginary and it wants us’, Kheshti wrote over a decade ago; the essays in Sonic Signatures testify to that desire.' -- Caitlin Woolsey, Visual Studies
