Experimentalism Otherwise: The New York Avant-Garde and Its Limits Volume 11 Tapa blanda - 2011 - 1st Edición
de Benjamin Piekut
Descripción de contraportada
"Benjamin Piekut takes scholarship on late twentieth century music to new heights with this inventive and compelling study of the networks of experimental music. Weaving a historical ethnography of performances, practices, sounds, and subjectivities together with insights from recent social and anthropological theory, uncovering new perspectives on key figures from John Cage and Henry Flynt to Carla Bley and Charlotte Moorman, he gives us 'actually existing experimentalism' free from idealization or dilution."
--Georgina Born, author of Rationalizing Culture: IRCAM, Boulez, and the Institutionalization of the Musical Avant-Garde
"Ben Piekut's methodologically astute 'history of actually existing experimentalism' provides a brilliantly focused, yet ultimately expansive interrogation of the musical networks that flourished in New York City around the year 1964. Engaging, insightful, and important, Experimentalism Otherwise is certain to prove an indispensable reference not only for musicologists, but for anyone interested in the tangled cultural history of the period at large."
--Branden W. Joseph, author of Beyond the Dream Syndicate: Tony Conrad and the Arts After Cage
"Buttressed by interviews with surviving participants and close examination of scores, texts, images, and ephemera, Piekut erects a framework within which the sometimes poignant, sometimes absurd network of semi-failed interactions that defined the space of 'experimental music' can take shape in the mind of a delighted reader. Experimentalism Otherwise deftly escapes the hagiographic mode: figures like John Cage, Henry Flynt, and Charlotte Moorman appear in its pages as scrappy improvisers of aesthetic contingency, not plaster saints of the avant-garde. This is late-twentieth-century music history as it ought to be written!"
--Robert Fink, author of Repeating Ourselves: American Minimal Music as Cultural Practice
"Experimentalism is never only that, is the meta-argument of Experimentalism Otherwise. With a focus on participants of four moments in four explicitly experimental music scenes in a single year and in a single city, Piekut 'follows the actors' not only to their appointments with the new as isolated from other events, but along historically grounded routes too ordinary to have received prior notice. In doing so, he achieves something of an anti-'experimentalism for experimentalism's sake' historiography of select New York experimental music events of the 1960s. That this gripping analysis of historical experimentalism is so rich with difference and contradiction, so illuminating of the challenges of producing the 'new' in the 'now' is precisely due to Piekut's diligence in opening a world of the ordinary where we didn't expect it. This book is a revelation of the relationship between ordinariness and newness that will change how cultural historians think about experimentalism."
--Sherrie Tucker, author of Swing Shift
