Title: Emulating Sound. What Synthesizers can and can't do: Explorations In the Social Construction of Sound
Abstract: The topic of this chapter, the social construction of sound, is one aspect of what I increasingly see as a new field, “Sound Studies”. Sound Studies extends the insights of Science and Technology Studies to the arena of music, sound, noise and silence.1 The materiality of sound, its embeddedness not only in history, society and culture but also in science and technology and its machines and ways of knowing and interacting, is a topic which I think is not yet addressed sufficiently by other fields like musicology and the history and sociology of music. 2
