Perceptive and nuanced learnings extrapolated from sensitively devised and performed fieldwork from contrasting cultural contexts that have faced head-on conflict, violence, loss and trauma are presented here in a critical context, offering meaningful yet expertly informed ways forward in sound and music practice. * John L. Drever, Professor of Acoustic Ecology and Sound Art, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK * Sounding Conflict offers a brilliant exploration of how conflict, peace and healing must be understood within the fullest container of human senses and meaning making – in this case an ever-deepening empirical unveiling of the place and impact of arts, performance and music. A must-read for anyone interested in holistic social change. * John Paul Lederach, Professor Emeritus, University of Notre Dame, USA *
