Sound Objects and Sound Products: Standardising a New Culture of Listening in the First Half of the Twentieth Century

Alexandra Hui

Abstract

Translated by Justyna Stasiowska, Alexandra Hui's text analyses the emergence of sound objects with regard to the changes that musical culture of the 19th and 20th centuries have undergone and the impact that the invention of a phonograph has had on it. She introduces a new concept of reception, "threshold listening";  it is neither active nor passive act of listening, but rather it marks a psychological and physical response to the stimuli which does not necessarily entail their conscious reception.
