"The castrato phenomenon stretched from the late sixteenth century, when castrati first appeared in Italian courts and churches, through the eighteenth century, when they occupied a celebrity status on the operatic stage. Throughout this time, the voice of the castrato--hailed as uniquely strong, flexible and expressive--contributed to a dramatic expansion of the musical vocabulary and to finding new ways to embody the poetic text. For us today, the castrato also highlights the porous relationship of voices and instruments/machines and the inherent materiality of sound. In her revealing study, Bonnie Gordon asks what it meant that the early-modern period produced a caste of technologically altered male singers and she uses the castrato as a critical provocation for asking questions about the interrelated histories of music, technology, sound, the limits of the human body, and what counts as human"

There is a rapidly emerging and developing area of music therapy practice that uses electronic music technologies in a range of therapeutic and clinical settings to help clients with complex needs. This edited volume explains cutting edge technologies and how to apply these tools in practice.With contributions from leading experts in the field, the book takes the reader through the equipment that is available including computer-based software; electronic devices which produce musical sounds with minimal movement or skill; assistive devices such as switches and sensors; and recording and listening equipment. Clinical case studies are then offered that show these technologies being used successfully with a broad range of child and adult populations, including those with visual impairments, autism spectrum disorders, medical needs, physical challenges, and mental health issues, and within a variety of settings, including a neonatal intensive care unit, schools, hospital environments, and palliative care settings. The final section looks toward the future and examines philosophical and theoretical perspectives on the use of technology and its relationship to aesthetics, gender and identity.This book will be a key resource for all music therapists, special needs educators, and professionals from the field of assistive technology, as well as allied health professionals such as occupational therapists and speech and language therapists.

C’est à l’histoire des inventions sonores au cinéma que nous convie Philippe Langlois, au croisement de la technique, de la musique et du cinéma, dans le sillage des compositeurs et des cinéastes les plus inventifs. Des dispositifs de sonorisation du cinéma muet aux manipulations du son qui découlent de l’usage de la piste optique, de la fiction aux films documentaires, du cinéma d’animation aux films expérimentaux, un champ ténu de convergence s’élabore où se dessine une forme de préhistoire des musiques électroacoustiques. Après les années 1950, les musiques électroacoustiques ne cessent de gagner une place de plus en plus importante jusqu’à se fondre totalement au sein du dispositif cinématographique et irriguer les principaux courants artistiques du cinéma expérimental et du cinéma d’auteur. Une manière totalement neuve d’aborder l’histoire parallèle et underground des musiques électroacoustiques au cinéma à l’issue d’un travail de recherche de plus de dix années. Cet ouvrage a été élaboré en lien avec le site internet dédié www.lesclochesdatlantis.com qui illustre et documente ce livre à partir de nombreux extraits vidéos, sonores et iconographiques inédits. Ce livre est la nouvelle édition, revue et augmentée d’un chapitre inédit, d’un ouvrage initialement paru en 2012.
