Abstract:
This paper explores two complementary questions – How has the use of technology in music and sonic prac-tice helped to enrich our understanding of place, and how might four theoretical frameworks of place developed by Bachelard, Lefebvre, Deleuze and Guattari, and Augé help contextualize such an aesthetic investigation. The paper examines a range of creative work through the lens of these frameworks to provide an overview of various ways in which questions of place have been aestheti-cized. The paper concludes by considering how technolo-gy offers new ways of casting questions about the human experience of place which ultimately enrich and enhance our understanding.
