Douglas Kahn

Douglas Kahn is the Technocultural Studies at the University of California. Everything he works with and studies has to do with sounds. Mostly sound of art. His studies has a wide range of historical sounds of art to the Avant Garde to modern works. He delivers general speeches to schools about his sound arts. He has recently has written a book entitled; Noise Water Heat: A History of Sound in the Arts. However, from my research, i believe he focuses mainly on the art of sounds and soundtracks. The point of his practice starts with his point that sound/art has been around and together for ages, and now he would like to see where it is going and take it to a new level.
