Audible Pasts: History, Sound and Human Experience in South-east Asia

Research into the history of sound has always focused on music and musicology but historians are now considering the huge variety of noises to which people were exposed, and how the interpretations and understanding of these sounds shaped human experiences. This presentation considers some of the ways in which “noise” was heard in traditional societies, and talks about how the arrival of new groups in places like Singapore also introduced alternative noises that became part of local soundscapes. Over time, many sounds produced by humans that were once part of the sonic environment became unacceptable as auditory values changed and as loud noise came to be regarded as a nuisance.

Friday, 5.30pm to 8pm, The Pod, National Library Building Level 16. Free. Register at golibrary.nlb.gov.sg/programme/Heritage.aspx or the eKiosks available at all libraries.
