The field of sound studies and auditory culture has been enhanced by digitization and digital methods on more than one level: Collections of sound resources as well as large media archives have been digitized and made accessible, publicly as well as for research and development and are being to a still larger degree also used in teaching and training. What we are witnessing, is a growing recognition of sound being part of cultural heritage, based on digitized collections of recordings and recording technology dating back to late 19th Century (e.g. the Danish Ruben Collection of phonograms, now digitized as part of Europeana Sound). Obviously, also newer recording and editing technologies spanning from the 1950s tape recordings to today’s software have been prerequisite to an exponential growth in both sound resources and trajectories for development within the field of sound studies. Today sound presents itself as digitized objects, conveying knowledge of our past, but also as a daily growing production of future memories as well as an expanding field for machine learning and new services for e.g. city planning, health care, and wellfare technologies.
