Sonic Encounters: The Islamic Call to Prayer recounts the author’s experience gathering field recordings of the Islamic Call to Prayer. It touches on key questions and problems faced along the way, as well as discussing technologies and methods for recording, what it means to develop art from ethnographic research, and the ethics and considerations of working with Islamic communities around the globe. The book uses a sound studies framework to explore artistic research methods and practices in ethnography as they relate to religious recitation.

Sonic Encounters offers new theoretical structures and methodological approaches to ethnomusicology, sound studies and practiced-based research, not to mention comparative religion. This comparative ethnographic work offers ways to hear and understand the sonic ties that bind a religion - in this case Islam - while revealing the many ways in which religion is localized and expressed as part of many different manifestations of contemporary identity.
