The Second Sound is an imaginary conversation between musicians and sound artists on the role of gender and sex within their field and for their artistry. It gathers testimonies from a variety of artists from different backgrounds into a single stream of (often contrary) opinions, addressing three main area’s: discrimination as paradigm and otherness, gendered music and sound art, and the navigation of the field. The Second Sound is a project by Julia Eckhardt and Leen De Graeve and was released on the new publishing house umland, in a design by Maaike Beuten/garage64.
