From the mid-20th century to present, the Brazilian art, literature, and music scene have been witness to a wealth of creative approaches involving sound. This is the backdrop for Making It Heard: A History of Brazilian Sound Art, a volume that offers an overview of local artists working with performance, experimental vinyl production, sound installation, sculpture, mail art, field recording, and sound mapping. It criticizes universal approaches to art and music historiography that fail to recognize local idiosyncrasies, and creates a local rationale and discourse. Through this approach, Chaves and Iazzetta enable students, researchers, and artists to discover and acknowledge work produced outside of a standard Anglo-European framework.

Rui Chaves is a sound artist, performer, and researcher. He has presented his work in several institutions and events throughout the United Kingdom, Brazil, France, Canada, Portugal, and Germany. As a researcher, he is interested in developing accounts of contemporary sound artworks produced within the Global South. Fernando Iazzetta is a Brazilian composer, performer, and Professor of Music and Technology at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, as well as the director of NuSom—Research Centre on Sonology. As a researcher he is interested in the investigation of experimental forms of music and sound art.
