Values ​​and Uses of Sound

The near generalisation of the place of sound and music in society, particularly commercial society, poses the question of its uses, such an important financial or other allocation being difficult not to involve uses equally numerous and complex of use has imposed itself in the face of to that of functionalities. Better knowledge of these uses and their “use value”, at least a beginning of categorisation, is necessary today as an object research, in particular for all direct actors mentally or indirectly concerned with design sound, there is no “will- their use” in itself but always in a context, economic, social, cultural real, political and certain anthropologically.
