Ear Wave Event is a journal / zine / web publication co-edited with Bill Dietz (co-chair Music/Sound, MFA Program, Bard College).

Initially, the publication was started as sound was finding a greater place in academic sound studies conferences and museum sound art exhibitions, we found ourselves increasingly frustrated by the limited discourse on the sonic. Our publication attempts to expand larger arts to include the sonic. We have been frequently cited, and now appear in syllabi at Harvard, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, etc..

From this trajectory, we began to expand to more creatively expand on what a contemporary arts publication could be:

Issue Six utilizes a unique "time machine" web interface to present our first guest edited issue (Jules Gimbrone, Columbia / Dartmouth) on temporality in this moment: issue6.earwaveevent.org

Issue Five is a music review website entirely written by AI (using GPT-2). In turn, artists submitted new music based off of these imagined albums: issue5.earwaveevent.org

Feature article review of Issue Five in Art in America: Can a Neural Network Write Criticism?

Issue Four is our first printed issue. Features printed artworks in a 12" booklet in a record sleeve, proposing other ways of experiencing the sonic: earwaveevent.org/issue/issuefour/

Example article from Issue One: “Mind BAD, Body GOOD”. Amy Cimini (UCSD) & Woody Sullender
