Resounding Silence in the Streets of a Musical City

Matt Sakakeeny

Columbia University

New Orleans is a musical city where sound is inextricable from the experience of place. Sound has played a defining role in distinctive cultural practices such as jazz funerals and parades called "second lines," in which African Americans have made claims on the contested city streets for over a century. How will New Orleans re-sound after extraordinary forces claimed those same streets?

Key Words: New Orleans • Hurricane Katrina • acoustemology • race • second line
