Sumario: | <p><em>Sonic Signatures</em> is an interdisciplinary collaborationof scholars and music-makers who come together to explore how musicmakes cities. More specifically, they argue that the musicalencounter, composed of an array of production and consumptionpractices, takes on particular and essential meaning at night.Thinking about music as an encounter allows one to appreciate thevalue and power of migration within the act of music-making.</p><p>The majority of voices amplified in the book come from so-called"migrants," understood as someone who was born in one country andcurrently lives and works in another. Yet, these words, migration,migrant and migrancy, are more expansive than that as they indicatea range of movement, politics and place-making.</p><p>Contributions from Emilie Amrein<em>,</em> André de Quadros,Nick Dunn, Pol Esteve, Jillian Fulton-Melanson, Jacqueline Georgis,Masimba Hwati, Ailbhe Kenny, Seger Kersbergen, Brendan Kibbee, ÁineMangaoang, Derek Pardue, Nick Prior, Austin T.
