Dissertation 001: Philosophy and Improvisation

In a few weeks time I will hand in my dissertation proposal. 
I've been researching and reading on and off during my summer break. It's a matter of me picking a subject within sound art discourse (that I'm passionate about) and sticking with it.
I think I've found a direction to pursue...

I'm currently reading 'Listening to Noise and Silence: Towards a Philosophy of Sound Art' by Salome Voegelin, 'Sudden Music: Improvisation, Sound, Nature' by David Rothenberg and various online journals. I've identified four more books I want to take out. More updates soon.
