Sound Design
About the Book Series
The Sound Design series takes a comprehensive and multidisciplinary view of the field of sound design across linear, interactive and embedded media and design contexts. Today’s sound designers might work in film and video, installation and performance, auditory displays and interface design, electroacoustic composition and software applications, and beyond. These forms and practices continuously cross-pollinate and produce an ever-changing array of technologies and techniques for audiences and users, which the series aims to represent and foster.
The Sound Design series contains both single- and multi-authored monographs, and edited collections. If you are interested in submitting a proposal for the series, please email the series editor, Michael Filimowicz ([email protected]), and the Routledge acquisition editor, Evie Evans ([email protected]) with your book idea, and the acquisition editor will send you a proposal form to complete.
