Sound: A Reader in Theatre Practice by Ross Brown
Brown explores relationships between sound and theatre, focusing on sound's interdependence and interaction with human performance and drama. Suggesting different ways in which sound may be interpreted to create meaning, it includes key writings on sound design, as well as perspectives from beyond the discipline.
'Ross Brown approaches 'a reader' in a refreshing and engaging way - he provides a compelling narrative and argument, interspersing and amplifying them with extracts from aa range of key texts' - Norie Neumark, Senses & Society 'There is no other book that considers equally and inseparably the theory, philosophy and practice of stage sound. A rigorously controlled piece of research of great originality and of terrific significance to the discipline.' - Chris Baugh, Professor of Performance and Technology, University of Leeds, UK 'A valuable assemblage of historical perspectives and current issues in Sound Design and perception...provocative in many ways.' - David Budries, Freelance Sound Designer; Professor of Sound Design, Yale University, USA
