33 1/3 David Bowie's Diamond Dogs Glenn Hendler, Fordham University, USA

Martyn Deykers, DJ, Promoter and Music Producer, The Netherlands

After his breakthrough with Ziggy Stardust and before his U.S. pop hits “Fame” and “Golden Years” David Bowie produced a dark and difficult concept album set in a post-apocalytic “Hunger City” populated by post-human “mutants.” In this book, Glenn Hendler reveals Diamond Dogs’s connections to the larger world of 1973-4, including the neoliberal vision of urban decline registered in the album’s setting and the shifts in the meanings of gender, sexuality, and race that David Bowie both reflected and contributed to through his writing, his music, and his persona. These are just some of the reasons many Bowie fans rate Diamond Dogs his richest and most important album of the 1970s.

Timeless describes how the album came to be: A short description of the sparkling drum ‘n bass scene of the time, and Goldie’s unlikely personal journey as a graffiti writer turned music wunderkind. It digs deeper into the music itself, analyzing several of the key tracks, uncovering highly autobiographical lyrical content but also looking at plenty of interesting sonic ideas that reference Goldie’s previous music and that of his peers, hip hop, graffiti culture and movies. From the beautifully epic radio hit “Innercity Life” to the darker, grimier textures of “Jah the Seventh Seal”, the album covers a wide array of emotions and musical ideas.

Judy Garland's Judy at Carnegie Hall Manuel Betancourt, Independent Scholar, USA

On the night of Sunday April 23, 1961 Judy Garland made history. That’s no hyperbole. Surrounded by a throng of ecstatic fans (3,165 to be exact), the legendary performer delivered a concert in Carnegie Hall whose live recording became, upon release, an unlikely pop cultural phenomenon. What the recording highlights, and what’s made it an enduring classic on a class of its own, is the palpable connection between the songstress and her fans. By looking at her song choices, her stage banter, the album’s cultural impact, and her place in the gay pantheon, this book argues that Judy’s palpable connection with her fans is precisely what her Capitol Records’ 2-disc album captured.

Elton John's Blue Moves

Matthew Restall, Penn State University, USA By 1976, Elton John was the best-selling recording artist and the highest-grossing touring act in the world. With seven #1 albums in a row and a reputation as a riveting piano-pounding performer, the former Reggie Dwight had gone with dazzling speed to the pinnacles of rock stardom. Then he released Blue Moves, and it all came crashing down. Was the commercially disappointing and poorly reviewed double album to blame? No, argues Matthew Restall; Blue Moves is a foursided masterpiece, as fantastic as Captain Fantastic, as colorful as Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, a showcase for the three elements— piano-playing troubadour, full orchestra, rock band—with which Elton John and his collaborators redirected the evolution of popular music. Instead, both album and career were derailed by a perfect storm of circumstances: Elton’s decisions to stop touring and start his own label; the turbulent shiftings of popular culture in the punk era and the minefield of attitudes towards celebrity and sexuality. The closer we get to Blue Moves, the better we understand the world into which it was born—and vice versa.

Japan's Tin Drum

Agata Pyzik, Independent Scholar, UK Tin Drum seeks to provide an outsider look at one of the most mysterious post-punk albums, the 1981 Orientalist and escapist manifesto by the English synth-pop/new wave English band Japan. As an act of cultural appropriation and a meditation on the perils of Western civilisation, seeking solace in a virtual trip to the “Orient of the self” and Maoist ideology, Tin Drum invites external analysis to be culturally appropriated itself. Agata Pyzik tells how the fruitful encounter between the neurotic Western youngsters and dream of the radically other East produced one of the most dissonant and compelling records of the era, too strange to be appreciated at the time, a big hit at the time but too peculiar to be fully understood.

D’Angelo’s Voodoo

Faith A. Pennick, Independent Scholar, USA Voodoo, D’Angelo’s much-anticipated 2000 release set the standard for the musical cycle anointed the “neo-soul” movement. The album is a product of heightened and fused sensibilities; an amalgamation of soul and rock, jazz and gospel, hip-hop, Afrobeats and literal vodou chants. Despite nearly universal acclaim for the album, its sonic expansiveness proved too nebulous for airplay on many R&B and pop radio stations. Voodoo was Black, it was definitely magic, and it was nearly overshadowed by a four-minute music video featuring D’Angelo’s sweat-glistened six-pack abs. The album created an accentuated moment when the shaman lost control of the spell he cast.

33 1/3 Gilberto Gil's Refazenda

Marc A. Hertzman, University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign, USA Refazenda connects a remarkable album by one of the twentieth (and twenty-first) century’s great musicians to a dazzling, often unexpected array of people, places, and things spread across the globe from Brazil to England to Chile to Japan. Critics and fans often project (impose) desires and interpretations onto Gil that don’t always seem to fit. This book explores why familiar political and musical categories so often fall flat and explains why serendipity may instead be the best way to approach this mercurial album and the unrepeatable artist who created it.

Ivo Papasov’s Balkanology

Carol Silverman, University of Oregon, USA From countercultural resistance to world music craze, Balkan music captured the attention of global audiences. Balkanology, the 1991 quintessential album of Bulgarian music, highlights this moment of unbridled creativity. Seasoned musicians all over the world are still in awe of the technical abilities of the musicians in Ansambl Trakia—their complex additive rhythms, breakneck speeds, stunning improvisations, dense ornamentation, chromatic passages, and innovative modulations. Bridging folk, jazz, and rock sensibilities, Trakia’s music has set the standard for Bulgarian music until today, and its members, especially Ivo Papazov, are revered stars at home and abroad.

Modeselektor’s Happy Birthday

Sean Nye, University of Southern California, USA Modeselektor, the notorious Berlin duo consisting of Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, released Happy Birthday! in 2007. Engaging this album, this book provides a unique lens through which to examine current trends in European pop and electronic music history beyond standard examples of German pop and electronic music, such as Kraftwerk and Rammstein. Employing theories of popular culture and electronic music in the 2000s, especially Simon Reynolds’s books Retromania and Energy Flash, Happy Birthday! argues for an updated study of electronic music and rave culture in twentieth-first century Europe, with specific focus on German studies.

Joe Hisaishi's Soundtrack for My Neighbor Totoro Kunio Hara, University of South Carolina, USA

My Neighbor Totoro is a long-standing international icon of Japanese pop-culture that grew out of the partnership between the legendary animator Miyazaki Hayao and the world-renowned composer Joe Hisaishi. A crucial step in the two artists’ collaboration was the creation of the album, My Neighbor Totoro: Image Song Collection, with lyrics penned by Miyazaki and Nakagawa Rieko, a famed children’s book author, and music composed by Hisaishi. This book investigates the extent to which Hisaishi’s music shaped Miyazaki’s vision by examining the relationship between the images created by Miyazaki and the music composed by Hisaishi.

Nenes' Koza Dabasa

Henry Johnson, University of Otago, New Zealand This book explores Okinawa's island culture and its ghosts of war through the lens of Nenes, a fourwoman pop group that draws on the distinctiveness and exoticism of Okinawan musical tradition. Both a tropical island paradise and the site of some of the bloodiest battles of World War II, Okinawa has a unique culture and a contentious history. Its musical traditions are distinct from other parts of Japan, varying in instrumentation, poetic forms, and musical scales. Nenes marks its cultural difference as Okinawan by emphasizing its own exoticism, expressed through its music, fashion, imagery, and performance style.

Kerouac on Record

Joseph Vogel, Merrimack College, USA

Prince, Race, Sex, Religion, and Music

A Literary Soundtrack

An intelligent, timely, and illuminating biography, This Thing Called Life sheds new light on one of the late 20th century’s most unique and gifted artists. The book highlights the artist’s proclivity for challenging, blurring, and stretching traditional categories such as race, gender, sex, religion, and death. And with a reputation for being apolitical and reclusive, Prince had a surprising amount to say about these issues through his music. This Thing Called Life offers a vivid, multi-faceted look at the artist, and demonstrates how profound his influence was and still is on American and global culture.

"Fresh approach to understanding the output of the On the Road novelist, which uses music to illuminate his written work." The Bookseller He was the king of the Beat Generation and the most dynamic novelist of his time, but Jack Kerouac had a lifelong passion for music. The novelist, most famous for his 1957 book On the Road, admired the sounds of bebop and attempted to bring something of their original energy to his own writing. In Kerouac on Record, contributors consider the writer's own recorded output, those rock tributes that have kept his memory alive, and the scores that have featured in a string of Hollywood adaptations of his fictional adventures.

Critical Perspectives on an Interdisciplinary Life

Edited by Mike Alleyne, Middle Tennessee State University, USA & Kirsty Fairclough, University of Salford, UK Prince’s position in popular culture has undergone only limited academic scrutiny. This book provides an academic examination of Prince, encompassing the many layers of his cultural and creative impact. It assesses Prince’s life and legacy holistically, exploring his multiple identities and the ways in which they were manifested through his recorded catalogue and audiovisual personae. In 15 essays organized thematically, the anthology includes a diverse range of contributions - taking ethnographic, musicological, sociological, gender studies and cultural studies approaches to analysing Prince’s career.

This book explores the ways in which cars and car journeys have shaped us as well as the way we have shaped them. It suggests that automobiles have not only provided a literal space for the experience of music. Including both broad synergies and specific case studies, Popular Music and Automobiles explores how attention to an ongoing relationship can reveal insights about the assertion and negotiation of identity. Using methods of enquiry that are as diverse as the topics they tackle, its contributors closely consider specific genders, genres, places and texts. Readers will emerge with a better understanding of the meaningful ways in which ordinary people have brought automobiles and music together.

Bloomsbury Handbooks The Bloomsbury Handbook of Music Production

Edited by Simon Zagorski-Thomas, University of West London, UK & Andrew Bourbon, Huddersfield University, UK The Bloomsbury Handbook of Music Production provides a detailed overview of current research on the production of mono and stereo recorded music. The handbook consists of 33 chapters, each written by leaders in the field of music production. Examining the technologies and places of music production as well as the broad range of practices – organization, recording, desktop production, post-production and distribution – this edited collection looks at production as it has developed around the world. In addition, rather than isolating issues such as gender, race and sexuality in separate chapters, these points are threaded throughout the entire text.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound provides a comprehensive and fully upto-date overview of the key themes and debates relating to the academic study of sound within an anthropological context. What are the common characteristics as well as the inconsistencies of living with and around sound in our everyday lives? This fundamental question drives research in this broad and interdisciplinary area of sound studies. The handbook is structured into six sections: sonic artifacts; sounds and the body; habitat and sound; sonic desires; sounds and machines; and sensologies. Every section contains chapters that explore exemplary research objects and puts them in the context of methodological approach and research practice.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Popular Music and Social Class

Edited by Ian Peddie, Sul Ross State University, USA

An interdisciplinary volume, drawing from sociology, geography, ethnomusicology, media, cultural, and communication studies, this book covers a widerange of topics germane to the production and consumption of place in popular music. Through considerations of changes in technology and the mediascape that have shaped the experience of popular music (vinyl, iPods, social media), the role of social difference and how it shapes sociomusical encounters (queer spaces, gendered and racialised spaces), as well as the construction and representations of place (musical tourism, city branding, urban mythologies), this is an up-to-the-moment overview of central discussions about place and music.

This is the first extensive analysis of the most important themes and concepts in this field. Encompassing contemporary research in ethnomusicology, sociology, cultural studies, history, and race studies, the volume explores the intersections between music and class, and how the meanings of class are asserted and denied, confused and clarified, through music. With chapters on key genres, traditions, and subcultures, as well as fresh and engaging directions for future scholarship, the volume considers how music has thought about and articulated social class. It consists entirely of original contributions written by internationally renowned scholars, and provides an essential reference point for scholars interested in the relationship between popular music and social class.

Pop Music and Hip Ennui

Live from the Other Side of Nowhere

Macon Holt, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK

Sam Cleeve, Birmingham City University, UK

A Sonic Fiction of Capitalist Realism

This book provides the imaginative and analytical resources to think with contemporary pop music to investigate the ambivalences of contemporary culture and the potentials in it for change. Drawing on Kodwo Eshun’s practice of Sonic Fiction and Mark Fisher’s analytical framework of capitalist realism, Holt explores the multiplicities contained in contemporary pop from sensation to abstraction and from the personal to the political. Pop Music and Hip Ennui unravels the assumptions embedded in the cultural and critical analysis of popular music. In doing so, it provides new ways to understand the experience of listening to pop music and living in the sonic atmosphere it produces. This book neither excuses pop’s oppressive tendencies nor dismisses the pleasures of its sensations.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound

Contemplating Musical Performance in an Age of Virtual Reality In recent years VR has become an increasingly prevalent platform for musical performance—Björk, U2, Gorillaz, and even the LA Philharmonic all having taken to the virtual stage. These virtual encounters profoundly disrupt assumptions long held to be true of live music, undermining the necessity of physical and temporal co-presence, exploding our expectations of performance spaces, opening up new possibilities for performance involving avatars, and affording intimate encounters otherwise impossible in the physical world. Live from the Other Side of Nowhere begins to pry apart the conceptual challenges that this disruptive technology poses to our understanding of the ‘live’ as an autonomous category of musical activity.

Sirens

Michael Bull, University of Sussex, UK This book argues that we should understand ‘siren sounds’ both as myth and as materiality embodying both danger and protectiveness. Sirens then poses the question as to whether we can rely on the sirens of contemporary culture. Ideologies of the sirens embody both the protective and the dangerous elements of siren sounds—from the Cold War public training exercises in the US to the seductive power of the sirens entrenched in popular culture, from the music of Roxy Music to Tom O’Dell and in filmic representations of the ‘femme fatale’ in film noir and beyond.

Sonic Fiction

Holger Schulze, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Sonic Intimacy

Malcolm James, University of Sussex, UK Sonic Intimacy addresses and establishes the new concept of “sonic intimacy” as a key term through which sound, human, and technological relations can be assessed and understood in relation to capitalism. Analyzing “sonic intimacy” through key case studies of three alternative music technologies of the black Atlantic (sound systems, pirate radio, and YouTube), James addresses in particular the aural transmission of care (intimacies), the internal (intimate) affects of sound and the collective affect of sound (intimacy) and its relation to (intimate) times and spaces. Sonic Intimacy thus explores what is at stake in the development of sonic intimacy for human relations and alternative black and anti-capitalist public politics.

Lipsynching

Merrie Snell, Independent scholar

Sonic fiction is everywhere: in conversations about vernacular culture, in music videos, sound art compositions and on record sleeves, in everyday encounters with sonic experiences and in every single piece of writing about sound. Where one can find sounds one will also detect bits of fiction.This book provides a basic introduction to sonic fiction. In six chapters it explicates the inspirations for and the transformations of this concept; it explores applications and extrapolations in sound art and sonic theory, in musicology, epistemology, in critical and political theory.

This book examines the practice of lipsynching to pre-recorded song in both professional and vernacular contexts. Covering over a century of diverse artistic practices from early cinema and drag performance, through to the current popularity of self-produced internet lipsynching videos, it examines the ways in which we listen to, respond to, and use recorded music, not only as a commodity to be consumed but as a culturally-sophisticated and complex means of identification, a site of projection, introjection, and habitation, and, through this, a means of personal and collective creativity.

Future Sounds

Dark Sound

Stephen Kennedy, University of Greenwich, UK

D Ferrett, Falmouth University, UK

The Temporality of Noise "Kennedy has brilliantly shown how the nonlinearity and multi-temporality of noise has been productive of so-called digital culture. Key reading for anyone interested in the realities of the digital age and the most relevant philosophies of time and technology." Timothy Barker, University of Glasgow, UK What can the sounds of today tell us about the future? Can an analysis of sound and sonic practices allow us to make reliable predictions in relation to wider social phenomena? And what might they tell us about technology in a world where futurology is a frenzied and busy field? Future Sounds examines historical trajectories and conflicting ideas about time and the necessity to recontextualize and interpret them in the digital age.

Feminine Voices in Sonic Shadow Dark Sound is a concept bound to music that embodies ‘dark’ themes such as melancholy, death, desire, violence, loss and longing. This text interrogates the attraction to dark sound and its historical association with femininity through case studies of artists such as Moor Mother, Anna Calvi, Chelsea Wolfe, and concludes with the intensely political repertoire of GreekAmerican composer and singer Diamanda Galás.

MUSIC AND SOUND STUDIES

An Anthology of Australian Albums Critical Engagements

Edited by Jon Stratton, University of South Australia, Jon Dale, Independent Scholar, Australia & Tony Mitchell, University of Technology Sydney, Australia This book offers an overview of Australian popular music through the lens of significant, yet sometimes overlooked, Australian albums. Artists covered range from those who have achieved very recent success (Courtney Barnett, Dami Im and Flume) and whose work contributes to international pop music (Sia), to the more exploratory or experimental (Curse of Dialect and A.B. Original). Collectively the albums and artists covered contribute to a view of Australian popular music through the non-canonical, emphasizing albums by women, non-white artists and Indigenous artists, and expanding the focus to include genres outside of rock including hip hop, black metal and country.

Towards Gender Equality in the Music Industry Education, Practice and Strategies for Change

Edited by Catherine Strong, RMIT University, Australia & Sarah Raine, Birmingham City University, UK Gender inequality is universally understood to be a continued problem in the music industry. This volume presents research that uses an industry-based approach to examine why this gender imbalance has proven so hard to shift, and explores strategies that are being adopted to try and bring about meaningful change in terms of women and gender diverse people establishing ongoing careers in music. It focuses on three key areas: music education; case studies that explore practices in the music industry; and activist spaces.

Making It Heard

A History of Brazilian Sound Art Edited by Rui Chaves & Fernando Iazzetta, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil From the mid-twentieth century to present, the Brazilian cultural scene and its art, literature, and music has been witness to a wealth of creative approaches involving sound. This is the backdrop for Making it Heard: A History of Brazilian Sound Art, a volume that offers an overview of local artists working with performance, experimental vinyl production, sound installation, sculpture, radio, field recording, and sound mapping. It criticizes universal approaches to art and music hyetography that fail to recognize local idiosyncrasies, and creates a local rationale and discourse. Through this approach, Chavez and Iazetta enable students, researchers, and artists to discover and acknowledge work produced outside of a standard Anglo-European framework.

Transcultural Sound Practices

South Asian Dance Music as Cultural Transformation Carla J. Maier, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Listening into the sound practices of South Asian musicians in the UK – such as the Asian Dub Foundation or M.I.A. – and spanning three decades of urban dance music production, this book investigates how South Asian sounds are sampled, cut, layered, looped and manipulated, and how this deconstructs and demystifies these sounds as markers of orientalised 'world' music cultures. Rather than conceiving of music as a representation of fixed cultures, it claims that music is as porous, dynamic and conflicting as ‘culture’ itself. Transcultural Sound Practices disrupts the ways in which ethnicity has been written into music and investigates how sound practices generate new ways of thinking about culture.

The Practice of Musical Improvisation

Dialogues with Contemporary Musical Improvisers Edited by Bertrand Denzler & Jean-Luc Guionnet Over several years, Bertrand Denzler and Jean-Luc Guionnet have interviewed a variety of approximately 50 musicians about their practice of musical improvisation. All interviews were recorded, transcribed and carefully edited. Musicians include both the very experienced such as Phil Durrant, Rhodri Davies, Eddie Prévost, John Butcher, Evan Parker, Axel Dörner, Phil Minton, Radu Malfatti, Otomo Yoshihide, Bill Dixon and Annette Krebs, as well as those newer to the field. Asked questions on topics such as the thought process behind a collective improvisation, the importance of the human factor in improvisation, and the technical strategies used, the interviewees highlight the habits and customs of a practice, as experienced by those who invent it on a daily basis.
