Rennie, T. (2015). Power Struggles: The Politics of Composing with Sounds of Protest. Leonardo Music Journal, 25, pp. 17-20. doi: 10.1162/lmj_a_00927

Abstract

The author challenges perceptions of authorship within the practice of field recording, discussing sonic arts responses to political subject matter and examining the power dynamic among recordist/composer, subject and listener. He considers compositions drawing on recordings of protests as a medium to represent political content without recourse to language.
