Today we hear two scholars reading their recent work on artificial intelligence. Steph Ceraso studies the technology of “voice donation,” which provides AI-created custom voices for people with vocal disabilities. Hussein Boon contemplates the future of AI in music via some very short and thought-provoking fiction tales. And we start off the show with Mack reflecting on how hard the post-shutdown adjustment has been for many of us and how that might be feeding into the current AI hype. For our Patreon members we have “What's Good” recommendations from Steph and Hussein on what to read, listen to, and do. Join at Patreon.com/phantompower. About our guests: Steph Ceraso is Associate Professor of Digital Writing & Rhetoric in the English Department at the University of Virginia. She's one of Mack's go-to folks when trying to figure out how to use audio production in the classroom as a form of student composition. Steph's research and teaching interests include multimodal composition, sound studies, pedagogy, digital rhetoric, disability studies, sensory rhetorics, music, and pop culture. Hussein Boon is Principal Lecturer at the University of Westminster. He's a multi-instrumentalist, session musician, composer, modular synth researcher, and AI researcher. He also has a vibrant YouTube presence with tutorials on things like Ableton Live production. Pieces featured in this episode: “Voice as Ecology: Voice Donation, Materiality, Identity” by Steph Ceraso in Sounding Out (2022). “In the Future” by Hussein Boon in Riffs (2022). Mack also mentioned in his rant: “Embodied meaning in a neural theory of language” by Jerome Feldman and Srinivas Narayanan (2003). “The Contemporary Theory of Metaphor” by George Lakoff (1992).

How to think about the contradictory figure of R. Murray Schafer? A renegade scholar who used sound technology to create an entirely new field of study, even as he devalued the very tools of its trade. A gifted composer who claimed a sincere appreciation for indigenous cultures, yet one who, perhaps, could only love them on his own terms, only as they fit into his sweeping vision for Canadian music. An erudite reader with a deep knowledge of world cultures, who nevertheless dismissed Canada's most multicultural areas as less than truly Canadian. And a man, who despite a bomb-throwing persona on the page, is described by those who knew him as a kind and generous person. Today we speak to Jonathan Sterne, Mitchell Akiyama, and Hildegard Westerkamp to learn the critiques and contradictions of Schafer. Perhaps the greatest testament to his lasting legacy is the fact that we aren't done arguing with him. Works discussed in this episode: Jonathan Sterne's first book, The Audible Past, includes critiques of Schafer's work, especially his concept of schizophonia. His chapter “Soundscape, Landscape, Escape” (PDF, in the edited volume Soundscapes of the Urban Past) traces the intellectual and audiophile histories of Schafer's term soundscape. Listen, a short film on Schafer directed by David New, includes Shafer's claim that recorded sounds are not “real sound.” Hildegard Westerkamp's Kits Beach Sound Walk presents a subtler way of thinking about “schizophonic” sounds. Her chapter “The Disruptive Nature of Listening: Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow” (in the edited volume Sound Media Ecology) reexamines the World Soundscape Project through the political lenses of the 1970s and today. An episode of the CBC radio program “Soundscapes of Canada” is available at the Canadian Music Centre's music library. Rafael de Oliveira, Patrícia Lima, and Alexsander Duarte‘s interview with Schafer in Corfu, Greece is available on YouTube. Mitchell Akiyama's critique of the World Soundscape Project appears in “Unsettling the World Soundscape Project: Soundscapes of Canada and the Politics of Self-Recognition” (on the sound studies blog Sounding Out) and in his chapter “Nothing Connects Us but Imagined Sound” (in the edited volume Sound, Music, Ecology). The program notes (PDF) to Schafer's North/White contain his dismissal of urban Canadians (page 43). Dylan Robinson's book Hungry Listening opens with Schafer's insulting words about “Eskimo music” and contains a critique of the way Schafer appropriates indigenous music to create his “Canadian” music. The Vancouver Chamber Choir shares this performance of Schafer's “Miniwanka” complete with a side scrolling presentation of the graphic score. Today's music was by R. Murray Schafer, Vireo, and Blue the Fifth. Learn more about your ad choices.

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark and I had a lot of fun talking about a remarkable video suggested by Rachel Hadaway this week. From a BBC programme called Sounding Out, it features live show footage and interviews with the band from 1971, shortly after Rick Wakeman joined. It's full of period charm, as they say, and thankfully available on YouTube now. You might want to watch it before listening to Mark and me banging on about it - or you might not. If you do, there's a video embedded in the show notes below. https://youtu.be/sr9j5pbKHGA?si=XBIfp51Dz8sh3nUT How does the band sound? What is the venue like?

This episode, we talk with Jennifer Lynn Stoever–editor of the influential sound studies blog Sounding Out!–about her new book, The Sonic Color Line: Race and the Cultural Politics of Listening (NYU Press, 2016). We tend to think of race and racism as visual phenomena, but Stoever challenges white listeners to examine how racism can infect our ears, altering the sound of the world and other people. We discuss the history of American prejudicial listening since slavery and learn how African American writers and musicians have pushed back against this invisible “sonic color line.” Works discussed include Richard Wright's Native Son and music by Huddie Ledbetter (Lead Belly), Fishbone, and Lena Horne.

In this unabridged audio narration, I read my article for The Journal of Perpetrator Research (2019) Vol: 2 Issue: 2. There were only three actual “shots” in Dealey Plaza on that dark day, of course. They were the bullets fired by Lee Harvey Oswald from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building. … Continue reading Sounding Out! “Six ‘Shots”in Dallas: ‘Framing' the Perpetrator of the Kennedy Assassination through the Zapruder Film, 1963-2013:” Read by the Author →
In the early aughts, Manhattan became a breeding ground for the post-punk revival when bands like The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Interpol ushered in a new era of indie rock. On today's episode of "Sounding Out with Izzy," I am joined by my good friend Hollye Bynum, the lead singer of Razor Braids, to revisit this iconic era of rock and roll by sharing our thoughts on the recently released 'Meet Me In The Bathroom' documentary. Discover bonus eps, playlists, and more on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/agrrrlstwosoundcents✨ MORE ABOUT RAZOR BRAIDS ✨Razor Braids is a queer, all-female/non-binary rock band from Brooklyn combining the vulnerable self-awareness of indie rock with dynamic instrumentation anchored in a 90s alternative ethos. Through soaring harmonies and a driving rhythm section, the band has honed a magnetic sound that is a testament to the healing power and catharsis of community. Following their warmly-received debut album 'I Could Cry Right Now If You Wanted Me To,' the band released two singles in Spring 2022, weaved together during the pandemic and bringing to life the memories – from terrible parties to secret make-out spots – that bubble to the surface when the world has been forced to a halt. ✨ KEEP UP TO DATE WITH RAZOR BRAIDS ✨Tour Tickets: https://www.razorbraids.com/tourWeb: https://www.razorbraids.com/homeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/razorbraids/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/razorbraids/Twitter: https://twitter.com/RazorBraidsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@razorbraids✨ CONNECT WITH IZZY ✨YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv6SBgiYCpYbx9BOYNefkIgWebsite: https://agrrrlstwosoundcents.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/agrrrlstwosoundcents/Twitter: https://twitter.com/grrrlsoundcents
Hello, stars! Welcome back to another episode of the pod. In today's episode, I reveal my Seattle roots while asking what the hell is up with Tacocat? I school fellow music podcaster Isabel Corp on this pop-punk feminist iconic group. Izzy hosts the podcast Sounding Out with Izzy: A Grrrl's Two Sound Cents Podcast and runs a blog where she highlights non-binary, women, and queer femme people in the music industry. Izzy invited me into a collaboration to each introduce the other to a band from our home towns. I chose the sparkly, feminist palindromic Tacocat, who carried me through shitty coming of age moments, and inspired me to dream of more. Stay tuned for my feature on Izzy's show to learn about Boston's The Modern Lovers. Listen to Tacocat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvbtJLKe7Fo https://tacocat.bandcamp.com/ Follow Izzy and listen to her podcast: https://agrrrlstwosoundcents.com/ https://www.instagram.com/agrrrlstwosoundcents/ CREDS// Pod Logo: Callan Moore Intro music: Afterspace Editing/mixing: me
In the premiere episode of Season 3 of “Sounding Out with Izzy,” Isabel Corp interviews first-wave punk pioneer, author, and self-proclaimed troublemaker Alice Bag.

Jake Matter thought it was a good idea to start tweeting at celebrities to see if they liked ska or not. Surprisingly, quite a few answered. While most said yes, some did not, like Converge, who told him "Fuck No!" This exchange went viral and earned the Ska or Nah Twitter account 3,000 new followers in under 8 hours, and an article in Loudwire. Several of the people that Ska Or Nah has tweeted at have been on this very podcast, and their responses have served as part of our research for the episodes, including Ted Leo, Max Collins (Eve 6), Laura Jane Grace, John Darnielle (Mountain Goats), Elliot Babin (Touche Amore) and Arizona Ice Tea. Today we talk to Jake about Ska or Nah, his skacore band Grey Matter and why he thinks nu metal deserves to be defended. He tells us about the personal importance of tweeting at Tony Hawk and Rivers Cuomo, what it was like to release a record on Bad Time Records just before the pandemic, how amazing it was to play at this year's Stoopfest in Lansing, Michigan, and the many influences of his eclectic band, Grey Matter: La Dispute, Parquet Courts, Ceremony, We Are The Union, Blue Meanies, Flaming Tsunamis, and Fatter Than Albert. He also tweets at two celebrities during the interview (Melissa Villasenor, Bill Clinton). But do they respond before the episode is finished?

This week I'm talking to Dr. Liana Silva. Liana is an English teacher in Houston Texas, Chair of the https://www.mla.org/About-Us/Governance/Committees/Committee-Listings/Professional-Issues/Committee-on-K-16-Alliances (Modern Language Association's Committee on K-16 Alliances) and Managing Editor of https://soundstudiesblog.com (Sounding Out blog). We discuss: The best book she's ever read, taught or learnt A brief introduction to her career to date and her school's recent switch to IB Liana's initial impressions of the IB curriculum and how staff and students are taking to it. The ways in which the school have had to amend the previous curriculum to meet the expectations of IB Where Liana stands on teaching traditional texts that ensure cultural capital for students v.s using texts that are more representative of global identities How the MLA Committee on K-16 Alliances better informs the work she does in the English classroom The best resource Liana has come across recently that has improved her teaching practice And if she could help change one thing in the U.S. for teachers, what it would be Thanks so much to Liana for bridging the massive time difference between Houston and Hong Kong in order to offer her ideas and advice on teaching. There is a passage of audio in the recording where it sounds as if the microphone is muffled or playing up in some way but in actual fact this just a curious cat, purring at the superb observations made by Dr. Silva. It does pass quickly and doesn't obscure the dialogue too much so please bear with it!

What sounds are deemed ‘Black' or ‘White'? What values do we assign these judgments? How far back can these ideas be traced?We discuss the cultural politics of sound with English professor Jennifer Lynn Stoever of Binghamton University, author of “The Sonic Color Line.” She has sifted through slave narratives, music, and radio dramas to dissect the connection society makes between race and sound.We discuss efforts by White listeners to limit black voices, along with examples of Black resistance, and how the sonic color line affects Black and White lives today.Check out the Sounding Out! blog.

This episode of The EXARC Show features Finally Friday guests Lara Comis and Simon Wyatt for “Sounding Out the Past". We have two different perspectives on the topic of sounds this month, Lara focusing on collecting ambient sounds relating to archaeological open air museum activities and crafts, and Simon exploring musical instruments of the past. Host Matilda Siebrecht listens in as our guests discuss some of the cognitive underpinnings of how we process sound, the many ways that sounds and music play into lives in the past, and the value of pausing and listening to the world around us. Tune in for conversation interspersed with soundscapes and reconstructed musical instruments to give your ears a treat from the past! As always, Finally Friday starts with a conversation between our guests and wraps up with questions from participants in the EXARC Discord. More information on joining us for future events can be found on The EXARC Show website. Support the show (https://exarc.net/become-member)
Darren has the charm of the Devil and Lorraine is the love of his life. As I edited their story, I realised I was editing 'West Side Story' cut-and-pasted into the heart of East London. It is a story of love...deep, abiding love, murder in self-defence and 28 years in prison with a life-defining ending. The song 'You and Me' was written by Darren for Lorraine after one visit when she was finding life particularly hard. Performed by Darren and members of band, The Pinnacle, as part of the Sounding Out project with The Irene Taylor Trust.Darren is now working with The Message helping advise and re-settle ex-offenders.Photograph: Nigel Henderson (1917-1985) 'Gillian Alexander at play, Chisenhale Road c.1950'

This episode, we talk with Jennifer Lynn Stoever--editor of the influential sound studies blog Sounding Out!--about her new book, The Sonic Color Line: Race and the Cultural Politics of Listening (NYU Press, 2016). We tend to think of race and racism as visual phenomena, but Stoever challenges white listeners to examine how racism can infect our ears, altering the sound of the world and other people. We discuss the history of American prejudicial listening since slavery and learn how African American writers and musicians have pushed back against this invisible "sonic color line.”Works discussed include Richard Wright's Native Son and music by Huddie Ledbetter (Lead Belly), Fishbone, and Lena Horne.Additional music by Graeme Gibson and Blue the Fifth. Transcript [low humming playing] [CRIS CHEEK]This…is…Phantom Power. [COMPUTERIZED VOICE]Episode 5. [CRIS]Ears racing. [low humming and contemporary music fades in] [MACK HAGOOD]Race. We think of it as a visual phenomenon. [CRIS]But race has sound too. [DIFFERENT VOICES GIVING GREETINGS]Hey guys, welcome back. Hi sisters. Hey Jim, (inaudible). Hey everyone. Hey! [CRIS]When you heard those voices, did you give them a race, a class, perhaps some kind of assignation of character and if so, why do we do this? Where does this discriminating ear come from? [MACK]I’m Mack Hagood, [CRIS] and I’m cris cheek. [MACK]Today on Phantom Power we listen, to race or to put it more correctly, we examine how we are always listening to race. Our guide is Jennifer Lynn Stoever, Associate Professor of English at the State University of New York Binghamton. Stover is the author of the “Sonic Color Line: Race and the Cultural Politics of Listening” a book that argues that white racism depends just as much on the ear as it does the eye. She shows how listening has been used since slavery to distinguish and separate black and white and how African American artists and critics like Richard Wright Leadbelly and Lena Horne have identified, critiqued, and push the boundaries of this sonic color line. [techno-like music and a choir play in the background, then fade out] [MACK]Cris, when I spoke to Jennifer, she reminded me of a story that really shows how high the stakes of this kind of listening can be. [JENNIFER STOEVER]You know, I talk in the opening of the book about the case of Jordan Davis. [piano music fades in] [MALE NEWS REPORTER]It happened November 23rd, 47-year-old Michael Dunn told investigators he felt threatened at a gas station. Parked side by side with an SUV full of teenagers, the alleged gunman complained they were playing their music too loud. [JENNIFER]Jordan and his friends are playing hip hop at the gas pump. They were driving they had their music on. They were getting gas. Gas stations in theory (are) a transitory shared space where we all come in with our music we pump our gas and we leave. [MALE NEWS REPORTER]Detective say Dunn confronted Davis who was in the backseat and told him to turn the music down. [JENNIFER]The white man at question felt a proprietary access to the soundscape both it if he decided it was too loud, is too loud for everybody there, that his sensibility should be catered to. That there is a way that a gas station should sound and hip hop is not part of that. And when they said no, he saw that as as aggression. [MALE NEWS REPORTER]Dunn’s attorney says his client thought he saw a gun so he pulled his own weapon and started shooting. [last line echos a few times] [JENNIFER]Shot into the car. [MALE NEWS REPORTER]Firing at least eight shots. [JENNIFER]And killed a young man. [MALE NEWS REPORTER]Investigators never found a gun and the teen’s car. [ethereal music plays in the background] [MACK]In her book, Jennifer Stoever has a term for the way Michael Dunn heard Jordan Davis at that gas station back in 2012. The listening ear. [ethereal music cuts out] [JENNIFER]The listening ear helps us get at what’s really happening in a case li...

We often think of racism as operating solely on a visual level - judgments based on skin color or facial features. But what about sounds? What judgments of intelligence, education, and personality lie behind ideas about sounding ‘white’ or ‘black’?Jennifer Lynn Stoever is Associate Professor of English at Binghamton University in New York, and Editor-in-Chief of the blog, “Sounding Out!”. She joins us ahead of a talk she’ll give Thursday at the University of Maryland Baltimore County on her book, “The Sonic Color Line: Race and the Cultural Politics of Listening”.

Have you ever watched a futuristic movie and wondered if there will actually be any black people in the future? Have you ever been surprised, disappointed, or concerned with the lack of diversity demonstrated in many science fiction stories? In Speculative Blackness: The Future of Race in Science Fiction (University of Minnesota Press, 2016) the author analyzes the highly racialized genre of speculative fiction including science fiction, fantasy, and utopian works, along with their fan culture to illustrate the relationship between genre conventions in media and the meanings ascribed to blackness in the popular imagination. Speculative Blackness: The Future of Race in Science reveals new understandings of the significance of blackness in twentieth-century American literature and culture and interrogates the meanings of race and genre through studies of science fiction, fanzines, comics, film and television, and other speculative fiction texts. Author and professor Andre Carrington earned his bachelors degree in African American Studies from Macalester College and a Ph.D. in American Studies from New York University. He is now an assistant professor of English at Drexel University, where he teaches courses on African American Literature, Comics & Graphic Novels, LGBT Literature and Culture, Global Black Literature and Literary Theory. His research focuses on the cultural politics of race, gender, and genre in 20th century Black and American literature and the arts. Carrington has devoted particular attention to considerations of cultural production and identity, especially those articulated in feminist criticism, critical race theory, performance studies and Marxism. In addition to his book Speculative Blackness: The Future of Race in Science Fiction, Dr. Carringtons writings have appeared in the journals Present Tense, Sounding Out!, Callaloo, and African & Black Diaspora. In 2015, he organized the first international Queers & Comics conference through CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies in New York. His current research project, “Audiofuturism,” explores literary adaptation and sound studies through the analysis of science fiction radio plays based on the work of black authors. James Stancil is an independent scholar, freelance journalist, and the President and CEO of Intellect U Well, Inc. a Houston-area non-profit dedicated to increasing the joy of reading and media literacy in young people.
