More on Sirens: George Prochnik - The Orchestra (Cabinet Magazine)

Fantastic article in Cabinet Magazine by George Prochnik - The Orchestra. Greek Myths, check. Modern use of sound, check.

Then I wound up here

Straying away from the metaphysics of the voice a little here (hear) but for Aural Cultures this is a pretty relevant article - the genesis of modern sirens lies in the voice anyway...
