In recent decades, we have witnessed many
compositions that use sound recordings in
places at war. These involve some fundamental
ethical and aesthetic considerations
such as the aesthetic dimension of war. Taking
this as a starting point, which will serve
as a background hum, this text examines
the works of Christine Renaudat and Arsenije
Jovanovic to question the following: the
role of the technical means used in such recordings;
the ethical and aesthetic question
of the origin of sounds; and the role of montage
in relation to the composition and perception
of the works. The article concludes
by alluding to perceptual problems involving
the audibility of war compared to the audiovisual
narratives of war found in the media
and often also in museums
