The Project

5542
Welcome to the digital companion to my master's thesis, "Sound and Documentary in Cardiff and Miller's 'Pandemonium'", which I completed spring 2015 in  the Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland, College Park. 

This site is designed to offer an informal and flexible reading experience, one that encourages browsing, jumping around within my argument, and investigating for yourself those subjects which most interest you. Most of all, this site is an effort at presenting sound art--a form that rouses multiple senses--in a format that extends opportunities to listen and look wherever possible.
