Christoph Cox argues that these developments in the sonic arts are not only aesthetically but also philosophically significant, revealing sound to be a continuous material flow to which human expressions contribute but which precedes and exceeds those expressions. Cox shows how, over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, philosophers and sonic artists have explored this “sonic flux.” [publisher's note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57357214908756,"sku":"A8B-26148","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/sonic_flux.jpg?v=1790811707","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/sonic-flux-sound-art-and-metaphysics","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
