Reviews
Wild Sound can help all of us rethink how to hear and imagine sounds. * Noah Kahrs, Music Theory Online *
Amy Cimini's Wild Sound is the first comprehensive study of the work of Marianne Amacher, whose stature continues to rise in both artistic and musical realms. Through detailed analyses and archival research, Cimini reveals Amacher's prescient engagement with the media frameworks, technoscientific dictates, and biopolitical dynamics that continue to determine our contemporary moment. * Branden W. Joseph, author of Experimentations: John Cage in Music, Art, and Architecture *
Cimini locates in Amacher's world of musical creation a nascent techno-feminist theory of embodiment; this theory is a goad to imagine the world otherwise. Wild Sound will set a new high standard for emerging waves of scholarship at the intersection of late-twentieth-century experimentalism, global political economy, and feminist theories of power. * Brigid Cohen, Associate Professor, New York University *
