Sensing sound
singing & listening as vibrational practice
by Nina Sun Eidsheim

Eidsheim shows how sound, music, and listening are dynamic and contextually dependent, rather than being fixed, knowable, and constant. In Eidsheim's theory, music consists of aural, tactile, spatial, physical, material, and vibrational sensations. She uses twenty-first-century operas by Juliana Snapper, Meredith Monk, Christopher Cerrone and herself as case studies to challenge common assumptions about sound and to demonstrate the importance that location and reception play in a performance.
