"In these interwoven essays on the many shades of sonic encounter, Michael Heller invites us to take a soundwalk at the outer edges of the aural. Escorting us through a carefully curated set of case studies, he demonstrates that the way we listen is forged by much more than our ears alone. This provocative book tracks the subtle ways that listening involves the entire body as well as a haze of associations and expectations that drift through all the spaces--from the opera to the composer's archive, from the corporate vault to the anechoic chamber--that shape our interactions with the universe…mehr

"In these interwoven essays on the many shades of sonic encounter, Michael Heller invites us to take a soundwalk at the outer edges of the aural. Escorting us through a carefully curated set of case studies, he demonstrates that the way we listen is forged by much more than our ears alone. This provocative book tracks the subtle ways that listening involves the entire body as well as a haze of associations and expectations that drift through all the spaces--from the opera to the composer's archive, from the corporate vault to the anechoic chamber--that shape our interactions with the universe of sound."-Brent Hayes Edwards, author of Epistrophies: Jazz and the Literary Imagination "Just Beyond Listening's extraordinary and sensitive engagements with sonic histories and practices gently encourage the reader to listen to each case study within the larger network of encounter. Heller's auto-ethnographic voice quietly contemplates the sound of power and privilege, bringing forth fortissimo and muted stories from the archives. A beautiful work."-Ellie M. Hisama, Dean of the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto "An utterly unique and compelling work that grapples with complex ideas in an engaging, thoroughly readable, and highly teachable style. Heller's engagement of affect in relation to sound is a major contribution to sound studies, while at the same time furthering a situated, corporeal, and resonant theory of affect-an exciting contribution to the study of twentieth and twenty-first century music and sound."-Marina Peterson, author of Atmospheric Noise: The Indefinite Urbanism of Los Angeles "In a moment when sound studies is deepening its understanding of 'sound' to engage the unheard, the barely audible, and the aurally refused, Michael Heller's Just Beyond Listening offers a gripping collection of case studies that move the disciplinary conversation forward. Heller is two things perhaps above all: a thorough researcher and a gifted, reflexive writer. He has created an accessible book that leads the reader through rich and provocative sonic territory."-Benjamin Tausig, author of Bangkok Is Ringing: Sound, Protest, and Constraint
