In his lecture "The Music Box: Songs of Futility in a Time of Torture," delivered on March 1, 2017, at the MMaP Research Centre (Memorial University of Newfoundland), ethnomusicologist Steven Friedson examines the use of music as a weapon in "enhanced interrogation."
While the lecture focuses primarily on the phenomenology of musical torture and its ontological contrast with African trance rituals, the reference to Max Neuhaus likely serves as a counterpoint regarding the intentionality of listening environments.
