In January 2019, the Centre de Recherches sur les Arts et le Langage (CRAL) at L’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris presented the conference Sound and Music in the Prism of Sound Studies. 1 A spectacular video announces the event: a heavy-metal band screams about the conference’s themes and cries out each speaker’s name, which is in turn spelt out on screen in gothic-bloody font. The band’s song lyrics note that the focus of sound studies is on topics such as soundscape, noise, silence, recording techniques and listening. Most critically, the band shouts: ‘These are issues that musicology has been dealing with for a long time. What is then the place of musicology in the wake of sound studies?’
