Clippings are a series of publications by the Nieuwe Instituut’s Through Sounds project that bring together fragments from its ongoing activities. The name refers to the sonic phenomenon of ‘clipping’, whereby audio distorts when signals exceed their limits, as well as to the concept of ‘clippings’ as gathered, cut and rearranged excerpts. Several editions will appear each year, tracing and highlighting developments within Through Sounds as they unfold.
