(musTh625) aesthetic readings 2

Due Monday, June 3.

• Jacques Attali, “Noise and Politics” (AC pp. 7 – 9)
• Pierre Schaeffer, “Acousmatics” (AC pp. 76 – 81)
• Brian Eno, “Ambient Music” (AC pp. 94 – 97)

You should also read the gray page of quotes preceding section II on pp. 63 – 64, as well as the introduction to section II on pp. 65 – 66. You do not have to write/summarize the quotes or introduction – these pages are merely for introductory context.

Once again, write short summaries of the key ideas in each article, and try to make at least one connection to music (or other situation) outside of what is mentioned in the article.
