Tuning the World

Tuning the World by Fanny Gribenski is a striking exploration of how sound shapes our lives—urban streets, concert halls, rituals, and everyday spaces. Whether you’re a curious reader in London, New York, Paris, or Sydney, this compelling title invites you to listen differently and think deeply about the world around you.

Gribenski guides readers through vivid examples and clear analysis, revealing how tuning practices, technologies, and cultural habits influence identity, politics, and the built environment. Richly observed yet accessible, the book balances storytelling with thoughtful research, making complex ideas approachable for academics, creatives, and general readers alike.
