Music & Sound

BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. We are the first commercial publisher to pilot such a model. Our hope is to engage a more diverse set of authors, bringing their work to a wider global audience.
In this pilot phase we aim to make 20 frontlist titles in African Studies and International Development OA immediately upon publication. The titles, including some from Bloomsbury’s renowned Zed Books imprint, are due to publish between March 2024 and February 2025.
• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 20 research titles available OA
• Receive 1 year’s access to 194 backlist titles in African Studies and International Development
• Be publicly acknowledged on our website
• If we do not raise enough funds to publish the titles OA, receive permanent access to all 20 frontlist titles
• If we raise 50% of our target funding and can only publish 10 titles OA, receive permanent access to the 10 titles that are not made OA

From the kooky original Space Oddity to the disturbingly sublime Lazarus, this book charts the course of David Bowie’s collaborative process, across five decades of music videos. Revealing Bowie’s playful energy and visionary influence, the book shows how he consistently expanded the possibilities of music video as an art form By examining Bowie’s collaborative process, his use of performative gesture, and his integration of avant-garde art with popular music and media, the book provides a history of music video in relation to the broader field of audiovisual media and popular music

As both a songwriter and performer, k d lang’s interpretations of love, loss, and longing on her 1992 album, Ingénue, earned her critical acclaim and lifelong fans in both the LGBTQ community and beyond Ingénue is about her experience with unrequited love, and each track gives listeners a chance to bear witness to the artist’s vulnerability just as stardom was about to strike Beyond k d ’s sudden embrace by ‘90s pop culture, and the whirlwind of press that went along with coming out, she is an artist that has broken boundaries of both gender and genre

This second volume on YouTube and music scrutinizes the phenomena of remixing, mashup and remediation: forms of reuse and sampling that have come to characterise much of the platform’s audiovisual content Observing the reciprocal flow of influence that runs between various platforms in cybermedia, this volume explores how transmedial and networked creativity has alighted on YouTube as a central hub for the exploration of digital sound, music and audiovisuality

Lucretia Tye Jasmine, Freelance writer, USA
During the 1970s, teen pop sometimes worked subversively, challenging the status quo it seemed to represent Male pop stars such as David Cassidy were shown suggestively in popular magazines and female pop stars such as Cher had their own TV shows Teen magazines, pin-ups, comics, films, and TV programs provided luscious visual stereo, promoting fashion styles, lingo, and dance moves, signaling individual identity but also community The music provided a way for young people to believe they had something all their own, an authenticity experimenting with sexuality and social conduct, all dressed up in glitter and satin, torn fishnets and safety pins. The Jackson 5! Suzi Quatro! Alice Bag! Andy Gibb! KISS! Sometimes, teen pop reinforced aspects of the counterculture it absorbed

Drawing on a deep and long-term first-hand engagement with major labels in the early years of the twenty-first century, this book sheds novel light ‘behind the scenes’, at a time of drastic and far-reaching transformation Refreshingly, it centres not on artists and the most powerful decisionmakers but on everyday experiences of work and sense-making among back-office corporate employees. This oft-forgotten office work tells a different story of contemporary digital music – one more sensitive to the complex intersections of bureaucracy and enterprise, passion and critique, knowledge and experience, that texture the conduct of work and organisational life

Mark Peter Wright, University of the Arts, London, UK
Listening after Nature examines the constructions and erasures that haunt field recording practice and discourse Analysing archival and contemporary soundworks through a combination of post-colonial, ecological and sound studies scholarship, Mark Peter Wright recodes the Field; troubles conceptions of Nature; expands site-specificity; and unearths hidden technocultures What exists beyond the signal? How is agency performed and negotiated between humans and nonhumans? What exactly is a field recording and what are its pedagogical potentials?

Female R&B and hip-hop artists have redefined contemporary popular music, and wider culture and politics, in the West – from the banlieues to the White House, from Black Lives Matter to #MeToo, from Bette Davis to Neneh Cherry, TLC to Aaliyah, Alicia Keys to Iggy Azalea, Beyoncé to Ariana Grande, and all points in between The first academic book to focus on divas, this book considers areas such as trans cultures and fierceness and diva-ism, media around diva superstars, and all other cultural practices that resonate with this development
