Reviews

'Through a series of close readings and quilt-like juxtapositions, Ming-Yuen Ma thinks sound and art through a broader political field. There is no soundtrack brings the discussion of sound more fully into the study of media art and the discussion of media art more fully into the study of sound art.' Jonathan Sterne, Professor and James McGill Chair in Culture and Technology, McGill University. Author of The Audible Past:Cultural Origins of Sound Reproduction and MP3: The Meaning of a Format. 'More like a DJ than an author, Ma connects the sonic dots between film, performance, installation and so much more. Sound is material to tell stories in space and time, but are our ears more valuable than our eyes?' Robin Rimbaud (a.k.a. Scanner), composer and artist 'Strong, critical and refreshing, There is no soundtrack is a unique book that leads the way towards new approaches to art history, media art studies and film studies.' Caleb Kelly, Associate Professor in Media Art and Art History, UNSW Art & Design -- .
