ElectroAcoustics Magazine

Digital Edition of Arts & Technologies

EDITORIAL NOTE

Launched in 2011 in Milan — and historically founded on the domain electro-acoustics.org — ElectroAcoustics continues its mission as a critical bridge between technology and sound. With Series 2026, we are officially opening our doors to a global network of professionals, students, and researchers operating in the fields of the arts and critical literature. Electroacoustics is one of the main ways to describe music created and composed with new technologies, with reference to studies that address the interdisciplinary nature of music in relation to its values of meaning. In treating art as a source of knowledge, our attention is directed toward independent culture and diverse works of art, provided they possess a strong socio-cultural impact.

In line with the integration of our Research Hub into international scientific indexing circuits, the journal formalizes its standards of critical validation through a peer-review process, relying on an International Scientific Committee. To delve deeper into our vision, read the article: Research Around Sound and Technologies.

LATEST CRITICAL INTERVENTION

8/25/2026
Audiovisual Short-Circuit: Sound, Image, and Time from Epstein to the Digital Era

Between live electroacoustics and film philosophy, a theoretical and historical critical study documents the archival release of the live scoring for Jean Epstein’s La Chute de la Maison Usher, led by Riccardo Sinigaglia. Through the legendary Arp Odyssey of Francesco Bossi (in memoriam), spatialization, and the voice-subject, this audiovisual short-circuit introduces the threshold of the «para-acousmatic», redefining the relationship between sound, «time-crystal», and the immanent text fixed on support, between the historical masterpiece and the digital era.

Editorial Manifesto (Research on Sound and Technologies):

Manifesto & Epistemological Framework

The institutional reference framework and theoretical matrix of the entire project. From the transition to the new digital syntactic paradigm to trans-analyticity, the foundational document that anticipates and legitimizes the "electroacoustic imperative."

ISSUE #01 – THE «ELECTROACOUSTIC IMPERATIVE»
From the epistemological foundation of the support to critical verification in urban space.

The Resonance of the «Déjà-Là»: Correspondences, Inversions, and Material Frictions Between Chion’s Impossible History and the «Elettroacoustic Imperative»:

Film Theory & Audio-Visual

The encounter between Michel Chion’s film theory and support analysis. Refraction of the concept of lissage and the genesis of the «para-acousmatic» sound body.

Spatialization as an Ontological Act: The Spatial Lutherie of Eraldo Bocca and the Resistance of Matter:
