This book is called After Sound because music and sound are, in Barrett's account, different entities.

The works discussed in After Sound thus use per…

Antonin Artaud
**100 copies** In hardbound embossed special package (like previous edition in this series), numbered & signed. The work of Antonin Artaud (1896-1948), the French dramatist, poet, essayist, actor, and theatre director, was a great inspiration and stimulant for me when I started out as a vocal performer.
