NEW from @soberscove !! 'Wolf Tones' is a multidisciplinary reader on an acoustic phenomenon conventionally deemed undesirable When a bowed stringed instrument is played, the vibrations of certain notes can resonate at the same frequency as the vibrations of the instrument itself. The dissonant effect that results is referred to as a “wolf tone,” for its howl, and is almost universally characterized as an unpleasant deviance. For @nancya.shaver @maximiliangoldfarb and @gretsterrett however, the wolf tone has come to serve as a productive analogy for describing forces at work in a visual field and a model for their ongoing collaboration, 'Wolf Tones.' Here, the artists present an orchestrated cacophony of images from their individual and collaborative practices alongside texts by contributors from the realms of music and sound, art, poetry, art criticism and architecture. Referencing landscape, temporality, sonic surpluses, improvisation, Éliane Radigue’s Naldjorlak and more, this book addresses the artists' collaboration as well as the acoustic phenomenon itself, reimagining the wolf tone as something to be celebrated. Where the authors had in the past created installations in galleries (@soloway348 and @derekellergallery), here they worked virtually, with images drawn from their respective practices and image archives, in close collaboration with the great designer @stacyerinwakefieldforte. They are joined by an incredible group of contributors, @studiostanallen #charlescurtis #annafriz #pradeepdalal @juliaooooklein #annlauterbach #catherinelord #matanaroberts #davidlevistrauss, who further explore the phenomenon both literally and conceptually through texts and image/text works.
