[ecrea] New book: Sonic Time Machines by Wolfgang Ernst

I am happy to announce that the 2nd book in the Recursions-book series 
focusing on media theory is now out: Wolfgang Ernst's Sonic Time 
Machines theorizes sound and audio media from the perspective of media 
theory.

"Our studies of aesthetics and knowledge have long tended to privilege 
the visual - at the expense, Wolfgang Ernst argues, of the aural. Sonic 
Time Machines aims to correct that, presenting a striking new approach 
to theorising sound that investigates its split existence: as a temporal 
effect in a techno-cultural context and as a source of knowledge and 
information. Ernst creates a new term for the concept at the heart of 
the book, "sonicity," a flexible and powerful term that allows him to 
consider sound with all its many physical, philosophical, and cultural 
valences."
