Best known for conceiving music and sound as seismographs of our time, Norient Books attempts to melt these seismographs into nuanced stories of the now and tomorrow. We publish unconventional releases between art, journalism, and academia that reflect upon but also with its phenomena, covering a wide range of perspectives beyond people, continents, and disciplines.
