Francois J. Bonnet delves into the philosophies of his new book, ‘The Order of Sounds’.

For the fourth edition of our Musical Material series, we present ‘The Order of Sounds’ with François J. Bonnet. Following Saturday’s Rewire 2017 performance as his musical alter ego Kassel Jaeger, Swiss composer, visual artist and author François J. Bonnet sits down with Gabriel Paiuk to discuss the philosophies of sound and listening laid out in his new book, ‘The Order of Sounds: A Sonorous Archipelago’. Making a compelling case for the irreducible heterogeneity of ‘sound’, he navigates between the physical models constructed by psychophysics and refined through recording technologies, and the synthetic production of what is heard. In this talk, Francois J. Bonnet explains the motivation behind his examination of modes of listening and mapping of plural sonic ontologies, as well as expanding on the ‘schizological’ nature of sound.
