Abstract
With his enthusiasm for the Moog synthesizer, as well as his broader affinities for sound, music, and technology, Trevor Pinch has left an important legacy on which East Asian STS may build. In this essay, I offer a retrospective of Pinch’s key contributions to sound studies by drawing specifically on his methodological and conceptual framing of sound within STS. I chart out recent scholarship on the technological study of sound in musical and political contexts across East Asia and explore future directions for what may be described as an East Asian approach to sound studies.
