In Paris for talks and press appearances to promote the publication of The Audible Past in French (they’re still working out the title as I type, but it’s got Histoire de la modernité sonore in there somewhere.  More details as they happen, but there will probably be a public talk on the 20th. MP3 is due to appear in 2016.
