This event revolves around Angus Carlyle’s forthcoming book Phantom Lure and Steve Goodman’s forthcoming Notes on the Third Ear, both due to be published together as a split book by Urbanomic Press in 2027.
The presentations will engage a complex of ideas relating to sonic warfare, technologically augmented perception, and the strategic and tactical configurations of noise, silence, and deception. A discussion following the presentations will consider aesthetic responses to these themes, surveying how artists and musicians channel, rework and deweaponize the toxic energies of the war machine in their work.
This event follows How to (Not) Be Heard #1, which took place at e-flux during Unsound New York and featured Goodman and Bogna Konior.

Bios
Angus Carlyle researches environments and atmospheres as embodiments of stress and relief, with listening becoming writing, recordings, photographs and films. He collaborated with Cathy Lane as part of Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP), where they wrote the two oral histories In The Field (2013) and Sound Arts Now (2021). With Kozo Hiramatsu and Rupert Cox he worked on artistic projects related to civilian and military overflights, culminating in the Archive Press book Zawawa: Listening to the Aftermaths of Conflict (2025). A dog at the edge of things, a book of 20 years of fieldnotes was published by JOAN in 2022; Powerlines, a CD of recordings of electricity came out in 2024; and 6 or 7 Conveyor Belts in an Arctic Coal Mine was part of the Radiophrenia Festival 2026.
Steve Goodman (aka Kode9) is a musician, writer, and artist. He is the author of the book Sonic Warfare: sound, affect and the ecology of fear (MIT Press, 2009) and his forthcoming text, Notes on the Third Ear will be published in 2027 by Urbanomic Press. He co-edited the books Unsound: Undead (Urbanomic, 2019), Ø (Flatlines Press, 2021) and Sonic Faction: audio essay as method and medium (Urbanomic, 2024). He is the founder of the record labels Hyperdub and Flatlines, producer of five albums, numerous EPs, remixes, and DJ mix compilations. He has produced sound installations for the Hyundai Commission at Tate Modern (2018) and the More than Human exhibition (2019) on artificial intelligence at the Barbican in London, among others.
