The author draws on the work of Brian Massumi, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and William James to examine the sensory aspects of bass sounds as they affect the body. He offers a framework for
understanding the body and its capacity to interact with sound shaped by low-frequency vibrations, and discusses encounters with unheard vibration like infrasound and other sound-like
modulations of natural or industrial origin; religious uses of low-frequency sound in history; and recent secular creative practices that explore the potential of low-frequency sonic
experience, such as in art and bass cults. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
