It responds to the practice of acoustic archaeologist Umashankar Manthravadi, whose life and work are a history of sound and technology through the second half of the twentieth century. As a self-taught acoustic archaeologist, he has been building ambisonic microphones since the 1990s to measure the acoustic properties of premodern performance spaces. Comprising a range of perspectives in which his propositions reverberate, the publication attends to what he does, and to the political and performative potential of the past that he opens up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAbout the series\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book was published in the context of the exhibition \u003cem\u003eA Slightly Curving Place\u003c\/em\u003e at Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin in 2020.
