Ecologies of Resonance in Christian Musicking explores a diverse range of Christian musical activity through the conceptual lens of resonance, a concept rooted in the physical, vibrational and sonic realm that carries with it an expansive ability to simultaneously describe personal, social and spiritual realities. Mark Porter proposes that attention to patterns of back-and-forth interaction that exist in and alongside sonic activity can help us to understand the dynamics of religious musicking in new ways and, at the same time, can provide a means for bringing diverse traditions into conversation. The book focuses on questions arising out of human experience in the moment of worship. What happens if we take the entry point of human beings who experience varying patterns of sonic interaction with the world around them as a focus for exploration? What different ecologies of interaction can we trace? What kinds of patterns can we trace through different Christian worshipping environments? How do these operate across multiple dimensions of experience?
Chapters covering ascetic sounding, noisy congregations and internet livestreaming, among others, serve to highlight the diverse ecologies of resonance that surround Christian musicking, suggesting the potential to develop new perspectives on devotional musical activity which primarily focus not on compositions or theological ideals but on changing patterns of interaction across multiple dimensions between individuals, spaces, communities and God.
