Kronos at Skywalker Sound
This interview with Leslie Ann Jones, Director of Music Recording and Scoring at Skywalker Sound, draws on more than two decades of recording engineering for the Kronos Quartet. The 2019 recording of Terry Riley’s Sun Rings, for which she and mixing engineer John Kilgore won a Grammy, serves as a touchstone. The conversation provides insight into shared responsibility and collaboration during the recording process, especially as Jones reflects on…

Sounding Plastic
This essay asks what archival sound objects-in this case a vast stockpile of bootleg music recordings-can tell us about cultures of listening and the cultivation of intimacy through sound under state socialism. It combines ethnographic and historical methodologies to analyze a format for popular music that circulated through an alternative economy in the People's Republic of Poland from the 1950s through the 1980s: the "sound postcard" (pocztówka…

Warsaw's Experimental Studio of Polish Radio (1957–2004) was integral to public media production in Poland. At the its consoles, composers and engineers studied acoustics, made incidental sounds for television, radio, and film, and composed large-scale works that circulated at new music festivals around the world during the Cold War. Their tape-oriented poetics, acoustic play, archival whimsy, and electronic production shaped the media imaginary …

Hanns Eisler on the Move
Begun on a train from Svendborg in Denmark to Prague in 1937 and developed until his forced departure from the United States in 1948, Hanns Eisler’s Reisesonate (Travel Sonata) is inextricably linked with the composer’s displacements. This article positions the Reisesonate in several contexts—its material, performance, stylistic, and political histories—that challenge the directional simplicity of emigration as the move from home to exile, from n…
