Sounding New Media: Immersion and Embodiment in the Arts and Culture

"Dyson takes on both the paucity of commentary on sound in new media arts, and the centrality of sound metaphors in talk about new media. Immersion comes into the language from musicology and music criticism, and Dyson does a great job of tracing its gradual integration, in various forms, into the rhetoric of new media since the 1960s."--Sean Cubitt, University of Melbourne
"Look no further for a wonderfully rich study of the strange new materialities opened up by radical developments in sound technology."--Timothy Morton, author of "Ecology without Nature: Rethinking Environmental Aesthetics"
