Written by one of the most prominent thinkers in sound studies, Amplifications presents a perspective on sound narrated through the experiences of a sound artist and writer. A work of reflective philosophy, Amplifications sits at the intersection of history, creative practice, and sound studies, recounting this narrative through a series of themes (rattles, echoes, recordings, etc.).

Carter offers a unique perspective on migratory poetics, bringing together his own compositions and life 's works while using his personal narrative to frame larger theoretical questions about sound and migration.

Industry Reviews

This is a wonderful, exhilarating read, thoroughly original. It is personal, poetic - full of literary allusions connected to significant radio productions re-visited, re-imagined and literally remade. The text is rather like a sonic Proust meeting a John Berger for the ears, in which the themes are interwoven in order to explore the opaque layers of meaning, memory, culture and creativity within each radio artwork discussed. A tour de force!
Michael Bull, Professor of Sound Studies, University of Sussex, UK
