Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-24 00:00:00 Dani Black Some terrific examples of pieces that use quotation in different ways, and it probably ends the only way it could: by asking "what's next?"

Review # 2 was written on 2011-06-17 00:00:00 Ryan Cave 3,5. Haha, reading this felt so nerdy! This book gives an original and fascinating overview of different sonic effects and analyzes the way humans are perceiving those auditive wonders. Although the coherence in the text is somewhat sloppy and vague, the authors give some interesting insights, especially those about phonomnesis, remanence, synecdoche, ubiquity, anamnesis, masking and sharawadji. It remains a mystery to me why certain sonic effects are discussed in detail, while others are simply listed as a sort of 'simplistic' category.
