{"product_id":"2940161970171","title":"Text-Sound","description":"This book is a history of early vocal art based in the 1970s. As Kostelanetz introduces it, \"The art is text-sound, rather than sound-text, to acknowledge the initial presence of a text, which is subject to aural enhancements more typical of music. To be precise, it is by non-melodic auditory structures that language or verbal sounds are poetically charged with meanings or resonances they would not otherwise have.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn other words (and sounds), you may view this book, and all of the artists it describes, as the opening up of a new artistic medium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough its background is international, the first part of the book points mainly to work by artists in North America, many of them, as a characteristic of their work, using electronics. The second part of the book is a focus on the Twelfth International Sound Poetry Festival, New York, 1980.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is fascinating to see the emergence of a new artistic medium!","brand":"Intelligent Arts Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46537608790257,"sku":"2940161970171","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/2940161970171_p0.jpg?v=1765464984","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940161970171","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
