SOUNDS OF WAR

Companion site to the book SOUNDS OF WAR: AESTHETICS, EMOTIONS AND CHECHNYA

"The music in this book is not about the authentic voices of war; it is an aesthetic addition to a soundscape of war. Songwriting and performance are acts negotiating difference. It is not my war, but my body singing." (p. 136)
