Description

Singing the Body Electric explores the connection between the human voice and technology. This book offers insights into how technological mediation affects our understanding of the voice and the human body. Miriama Young examines the history of recorded sound, tracing its evolution from the phonautograph to magnetic tape and modern digital sampling. Through a study of specific musical and literary works, the text covers a century-and-a-half of sound history. Readers will learn how the human voice is captured, transformed, and synthesized.
