David K Lewis' Possible World is juxtaposed with Maurice Merleau-Ponty's life-world, to produce a meeting of the semantic and the phenomenological at the place of listening. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe central tenet of \u003ci\u003eSonic Possible Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e is that at present traditional musical compositions and contemporary sonic outputs are approached and investigated through separate and distinct critical languages and histories. As a consequence, no continuous and comparative study of the field is possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSonic Possible Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e, Voegelin proposes a new analytical framework that can access and investigate works across genres and times, enabling a comparative engagement where composers such as Henry Purcell and Nadia Boulanger encounter sound art works by Shilpa Gupta and Christina Kubisch and where the soundscape compositions of Chris Watson and Francisco López resound in the visual worlds of Louise Bourgeois.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSalomé Voegelin\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sound at the London College of Communication, UAL, UK.
