Resonances: Noise and Contemporary Music de Dr. Michael Goddard

Resonances: Noise and Contemporary Music

Editat de Dr. Michael Goddard, Dr. Benjamin Halligan, Nicola Spelman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 sep 2013

Prezentându-se ca un ghid portabil, dar dens în semnificații, Resonances este o lucrare de tip paperback care reușește să transforme un concept abstract precum „zgomotul” într-un obiect de studiu fascinant. Reținem din primele pagini ambiția editorilor de a redefini disonanța nu ca pe o eroare estetică, ci ca pe un motor evolutiv al muzicii contemporane. Experimentăm, prin intermediul celor 92 de ilustrații, o dimensiune vizuală a sunetului, în special în secțiunea de arhivă care ne invită să „vedem” zgomotul, oferind o textură senzorială analizei teoretice.

Structura volumului este riguros organizată în trei părți, pornind de la rădăcinile psihedelice și rock-ul anilor '60, trecând prin estetica abjecției din punk-ul european și ajungând la complexitatea compoziției contemporane. Notăm cu interes modul în care autorii, precum Dr. Michael Goddard și Dr. Benjamin Halligan, navighează între feedback-ul hipnotic al genului shoegaze și brutalitatea thrash-ului. Această lucrare continuă explorările începute de Dr. Michael Goddard în Reverberations, extinzând analiza de la sistemele de comunicare media către practicile specifice de studio, unde consola de mixaj devine un instrument muzical propriu-zis.

Colecționarii care au apreciat Annihilating Noise de Paul Hegarty vor găsi aici aceeași calitate a reproducerii ideilor complexe și o profunzime similară în analizarea rezistenței culturale prin sunet. Totuși, Resonances se distinge printr-o deschidere mai mare către cultura populară, făcând punți neașteptate între succesul comercial și experimentul radical. Este o lectură care ne provoacă să ascultăm dincolo de armonie, recunoscând în „zgomot” o formă de energie indestructibilă care modelează prezentul.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte se adresează studenților, muzicienilor și melomanilor care doresc să înțeleagă teoria din spatele genurilor lor preferate, de la rock la techno. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă nouă asupra modului în care disonanța și feedback-ul au devenit unelte creative esențiale. Este un motiv concret de a explora istoria nescrisă a muzicii moderne prin ochii unor experți care tratează zgomotul ca pe o formă de artă legitimă.

Despre autor

Dr. Michael Goddard este lector în studii media la Universitatea din Salford, fiind cunoscut pentru cercetările sale asupra teoriei estetice și culturii vizuale est-europene. Alături de el, Dr. Benjamin Halligan coordonează programele de studii postuniversitare în media și muzică, având o expertiză vastă în teoria critică. Nicola Spelman completează echipa editorială ca specialistă în muzică populară. Împreună, acești academicieni de la Salford au creat un nucleu de cercetare care reexaminează formele anomale de expresie sonoră, integrând experiența lor didactică într-un discurs accesibil dar riguros, specific publicațiilor de prestigiu ale editurii Bloomsbury Academic.

Descriere

Resonances is a compelling collection of new essays by scholars, writers and musicians, all seeking to explore and enlighten this field of study. Noise seems to stand for a lack of aesthetic grace, to alienate or distract rather than enrapture. And yet the drones of psychedelia, the racket of garage rock and punk, the thudding of rave, the feedback of shoegaze and post-rock, the bombast of thrash and metal, the clatter of jungle and the stuttering of electronica, together with notable examples of avant-garde noise art, have all found a place in the history of contemporary musics, and are recognised as representing key evolutionary moments. Noise therefore is the untold story of contemporary popular music, and in a critical exploration of noise lies the possibility of a new narrative: one that is wide-ranging, connects the popular to the underground and avant-garde, fully posits the studio as a musical instrument, and demands new critical and theoretical paradigms of those seeking to write about music.

Recenzii

Resonances offers a conceptually diverse yet simultaneously minutely detailed investigation of noise that draws a line between popular music, cultural and sound studies. . [Reverberations and Resonances] are a significant achievement, a comprehensive collection of thinking to date about where noise fits into our cultural lives, pointing forward towards a fertile development of the field.
From overviews of specific artists--Lou Reed, Einsturzende Neubaten, Diamanda Galas, Filthy Turd--to theorizing about the sonics of feminism, computer sounds, turntablism, and composition, this timely book resituates noise not as Jacques Attali's societal 'herald of change' but as a vital and everyday part of the new media landscape. It's a great addition to any serious sound scholar's library.
The collection itself is a diverse mix...Resonances is fairly highbrow. The book's language is intensively scholarly, and its appeal mostly academic.
The value of this anthology lies in its attempt to be as complete as possible, and its inclusion of perspectives that often go unconsidered.
In the decade since, a stunning range of new offerings from a variety of publishers has become readily available, and sound studies is a far more expansive discipline. This fact is nowhere more evident than in Bloomsbury Academic's excellent sound studies catalog ... the scholarship here shows how adept the cultural study of sound can be at unearthing the thorny political and social tensions that define contemporary culture.
Resonances carries its readers from the ideas of Theodor Adorno to 'Hi-Fi Wives,' Russian punk and 60s rock. If you want to know what Iannis Xenakis, Eric Clapton, and the 'Filthy Turd aesthetic' have in common, this is the book for you! Handsomely illustrated and extensively documented, Resonances is a must-read volume for modernists and postmodern cultural critics alike.
'That's not music, it's noise!' The contributors to this book ask us to think again. They reveal that noise can prove as stimulating a part of sonic organization as melody and harmony-the distorted rock guitar being one example among many. These engrossing essays cover a remarkable variety of musical practices, exploring noise as both accident and deliberate design, and building theories about noise that set the agenda for future debate.
This collection is a massive achievement in laying the groundwork for a new way of thinking about things musical. Its scope is large - Hendrix, Xenakis, deafness, production aesthetics, pleasure, Russian punk - and essays impress in both their attention to detail and the breadth of their conceptual scope as we move from questions of aesthetics to detailed close reading. It is a study which succeeds as both music scholarship and cultural contextualization, particularly in relation to artists in other media (Ballard, Artaud) and key scholars (Attali, Adorno, Benjamin). And although it is hard to photograph noise, the book's photos find some excellent visual analogues.
