Résumé:
The emergence of electronic music with its new generation of artists and digital technologies has disturbed the world music landscape. From the musicians’ angle, since the end of the eighties, techno, house, and their multiple subgenres, have brought in a new breath, sometimes sweeping aside the order established by rock and pop, and imposing new game rules: ephemeral and shared creations, widespread sampling, DJ rule, the practice of mix and remix, new and micro-economy. But that aesthetic revolution, which ended up contaminating most music during the nineties, is not only limited to artists. The democratization of the digital, of the means of diffusion, and of exchange and listening, transforms the relationship between the audience and music. Today the MP3 generation, beyond the simple question of piracy, invents new codes and practices which have shaken our way of “consuming” culture.

Résumé:
The role of popular music is widely recognized in giving voice to radical political views, the plight of the oppressed, and the desire for social change. Avant-garde music, by contrast, is often thought to prioritize the pursuit of new technical or conceptual territory over issues of human and social concern. Yet throughout the activist 1960s, many avant-garde musicians(...)

Résumé:
The role of popular music is widely recognized in giving voice to radical political views, the plight of the oppressed, and the desire for social change. Avant-garde music, by contrast, is often thought to prioritize the pursuit of new technical or conceptual territory over issues of human and social concern. Yet throughout the activist 1960s, many avant-garde musicians were convinced that aesthetic experiment and social progressiveness made natural bedfellows. Intensely involved in the era's social and political upheavals, they often sought to reflect this engagement in their music. Yet how could avant-garde musicians make a meaningful contribution to social change if their music remained the preserve of a tiny, initiated clique? In answer, this publication examines the encounter of avant-garde music and "the Sixties" across a range of genres, aesthetic positions and geographical locations. Through music for the concert hall, tape and electronic music, jazz and improvisation, participatory "events," performance art, and experimental popular music, the essays in this volume explore developments in the United States, France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the Soviet Union, Japan and parts of the "Third World," delving into the deep richness of avant-garde musicians' response to the decade's defining cultural shifts.

John Cage's disdain for records was legendary. He repeatedly spoke of the ways in which recorded music was antithetical to his work. In Records Ruin the Landscape, David Grubbs argues that, following Cage, new genres in experimental and avant-garde music in the 1960s were particularly ill suited to be represented in the form of a recording.

Résumé:
John Cage's disdain for records was legendary. He repeatedly spoke of the ways in which recorded music was antithetical to his work. In Records Ruin the Landscape, David Grubbs argues that, following Cage, new genres in experimental and avant-garde music in the 1960s were particularly ill suited to be represented in the form of a recording. These activities include indeterminate music, long-duration minimalism, text scores, happenings, live electronic music, free jazz, and free improvisation.

Résumé:
Le chant de l’oiseau-lyre d’Australie, les vents de Patagonie, les flûtes sacrées Aré’ aré des Îles Salomon, les vibrations des bâtiments de nos villes ou les louanges exaltées des pêcheurs de perles de Bahreïn ne sont que quelques exemples des innombrables sons et musiques abordés dans cet ouvrage consacré à la pratique du field recording, de l’enregistrement de terrain. Tout au long du xxe siècle, des hommes ont parcouru le monde afin de capter des curiosités sonores pour des raisons scientifiques, patrimoniales et esthétiques. Ce sont des audio-naturalistes, des collecteurs de musique traditionnelle, mais aussi des compositeurs avides de découvrir un nouveau matériau musical. Les microphones sont leurs outils, voire leurs instruments, l’écoute est leur méthode d’approche. En sortant du studio, ils prennent le risque de se confronter à l’imprévisible, à l’incontrôlable, au fragile parfois. Ils se nomment Alan Lomax, Chris Watson ou encore Luc Ferrari. Cent disques rendent ici compte de leur quête, toujours en cours, du « chant du monde ». Une riche introduction et trois interviews de figures majeures du field recording (Jean C. Roché, Bernard Lortat-Jacob et Peter Cusack) complètent cette anthologie.

Résumé:
This diminutive artist s book is a translation of the universe of ambient sound amplified within the soaring space of the Chartres Cathedral. Artist Toine Horvers, who works at the intersection of spoken and written language in performances, drawings and books, describes what he hears without stating the source of the sound or referring to the physical space of the Gothic cathedral. The resulting book is a literal tone poem, in which each page represents one minute of sound. Horvers work is featured in a number of museums and private collections, including the Drawing Center, New York, and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam.
