Music Can Amplify the Voices

Quotation
by Tullis Rennie

«Music can amplify the voices shouting to be heard; composition can add contextual, emotional and personal response to those events; and sonic art can act as a lens and a mirror – to see our lives from a different perspective, and ourselves within that.»

The quote by Tullis Rennie is taken from the article «Power Struggles: The Politics in Composing with Sounds of Protest» published in «Leonardo Music Journal» in 2015. Last accessed on November 26, 2020.
