Sounding Indonesia, Indonesians Sounding: A Compendium of Music Discourses
emerges as a space for complex discourses on Indonesian music phenomena.
The book offers diverse points of view to provide a fresh look at Indonesian music discourses with their complexity. The book represents an array of disciplines, scopes of studies, and approaches, including ethnomusicology, music psychology, composition, performance studies, aural diversity, soundscape, popular music, theater, ethnography, and artist statement.
With contributors from various fields, Sounding Indonesia, Indonesians Sounding: A Compendium of Music Discourses aims to present a more accurate reading of Indonesian music and inspire artists, writers, curators, listeners, and readers to profoundly investigate Indonesian music from a myriad of perspectives.
