Schrimshaw has written a very insightful and well-crafted book … his book has pushed me to think more carefully about my own work and ideas. I would encourage any philosophically-inclined practitioner (as Schrimshaw puts it) to dive in. * Journal of Sonic Studies * This intriguing and timely synthesis of sound studies, sound art, new music and recent trends in continental philosophy supports a sonic practitioner's shrewd and necessary critique of the assumptions constraining his burgeoning field. * Adam Harper, Lecturer in Music, City, University of London, UK * Immanence and Immersion is an important addition to ongoing debates in sound studies and sound art. Through a series of astute philosophical analyses and critical readings of artworks, Schrimshaw effectively distinguishes two terms that are often confused—immersion and immanence—and thereby opens a new path for sound artists and critics alike. * Brian Kane, Associate Professor, Yale University, USA *
