The Fundamentals of Sonic Art and Sound Design introduces a subject that will be new to many: sonic arts. The book explores the worlds of sonic arts and sound design through their history and development, and looks at the present state of these extraordinarily diverse genres through the works and words of established artists. It discusses the wide range of practices that currently come under the heading of 'sonic art', as well as the technologies that are used and the impact that they have upon the work.
