A meditation on sound, inviting us to listen through the nose and open the mind to the musical potential in unpleasant odors.
The stinkhorn mushroom is one of the weirdest wonders of the fungal world, certainly the smelliest. Ever since it was described by a Dutch doctor in a sixteenth-century pamphlet, the stinkhorn has been reported to emit odors resembling damp earth, dung, rotting cheese, decaying flesh, and even semen. It also happens to look like a phallus, bursting out of a subterranean egg to poke above the ground, where it lures insects towards its slimy, fetid cap. In Stinkhorn, artist, musician, and writer Si n Parkinson asks- What can the pervasive stench of this mushroom and the droning noise of the flies compelled towards it reveal about how sounds and smells are combined in the imagination?
A heady mix of natural history, science writing, musicology, philosophy of the senses, and illness memoir, Parkinson uses examples of so-called bad smells to argue for a theory of Stink as a kind of "smelling sound." Alongside images and insights from the author's search for stinkhorn fungi in nature, the book expands upon the philosophy of listening to consider the role of the nose and the "nasal imaginary" in how we make sense of sound.
In this treatise on malodors and how they can transform the conditions for listening, Parkinson considers John Cage's silent fungal forays, Brian Eno's compositions with perfumes, the hum note of a vibrating bell, the

Great color saturation
I have only used this a couple of times and was concerned about the dull colors when it printed out. But the listing warns you about that so I went ahead and pressed it. Perfect! Bold colors and high quality images. Plus, filling my printer only took a little over half the bottles. Great value for the money and I will definitely be ordering again.
