On the occasion of the 15th edition of the festival Rewire in The Hague, The Netherlands, Further Listening brings together myriad artistic voices that have shaped and continue to shape adventurous music and sound. The book holds conversations with artists, researchers, writers, and organisers, poetic texts, critical essays, archival fragments, text messages, and personal reflections. Organised around four “filters,” the contributions speak about infrastructures for adventurous music (Staging Sound); evolving music technologies, instruments, and forms of environmental listening (Instrumental Ecologies); exchanges across geographies and generations (Times and Territories); and speculative, critical, and forward-thinking listening practices (Further Listening).

The book includes contributions from Aaron Gonsher, Adam Harper, Aike Jansen, Alvin Curran, Amirtha Kidambi, Andreas Kühne, Ania Drożdż, Aniketh Khutia, Anna Møller, Annea Lockwood, Ash Kilmartin, Bart de Baets, Brandon LaBelle, Budhaditya Chattopadhyay, Callum McLean, Cis De Gendt, Clara De Asís, Clarissa Connelly, Cristina Cochior, Dayna Casey, Farzaneh Nouri, Federica Notari, Giada Dalla Bontà, Golnoosh Heshmati, Heloisa Amaral, Jeff Sermon, JJJJJerome Ellis, Jim Kühnel, Joeri Woudstra, Jonathan Castro, Julie Landers, Jung Hoon Ra, Kris Cooper, Laura Ortman, Laura Snapes, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Leslee Smucker, Liliane Chlela, Łukasz Moroz, María Mazzanti, Mark Peter Wright, Maya Al Khaldi, Mayssa Jallad, meLê yamomo, Meredith Monk, Momtaza Mehri, Nyokabi Kariūki, pantea, Philipp Rhensius, Polina Medvedeva, Rachael Rakes, Radna Rumping, Richard Foster, Robin van der Heijden, Salomé Voegelin, Samuel Hertz, Sarouna, Sian O’Gorman, Sigrid Angelsen, The Rodina, Xenia Benivolski, Yağmur (Yago) Sağlam, Yamen Mekdad, Yannis Kyriakides, Zahra Malkani, Zoe Besuyen, and is edited by Katía Truijen.
