This richly illustrated catalogue accompanies Feel the Sound, a landmark exhibition at the Barbican. Bringing together art, science, and sonic innovation, the publication explores how sound shapes our emotional, physical, and social worlds.
Edited by Taous Dahmani and designed by Other Office, the catalogue draws inspiration from the graphic energy and editorial vibrancy of iconic music magazines. Blending scholarly insight with creative experimentation, it presents a dynamic mix of essays, Q&As, poetry, comics, conversations, protocols, scores, and behind-the-scenes material.
Feel the Sound is both a critical resource and a sensory experience—an invitation to tune in, turn up, and listen more closely to the world around us.
