32mo. (16)ff. Chen here crosses the borderland between artistic forms, translating the experience of music into modes of reading and wearing, suggesting, as the title indicates, that these are all, in fact, manners of listening. The book is dedicated to Herbert Blomstedt, who at the time of publication directed the San Francisco Symphony, and here Chen's notions of affinity between the motions of hands and the motions of sound receive immediate clarity. Included in the box with the book is a fold-out that shows various arrangements of the flag book, as well as ribbons to be worn as a headdress. All materials printed letterpress from photopolymer plates. Very fine.
