Cette anthologie présente, pour la première fois en langue française, une sélection traduite des écrits et entretiens de Neuhaus, comprenant notamment plusieurs inédits et organisée selon une lecture s'attachant à dégager les principales lignes de fuite qui animent sa recherche foisonnante. La première partie s'intéresse à la problématisation contextuelle de l'écoute, comprise au carrefour de ses dimensions physiologique, technologique, sociale et culturelle, et dont dépend le renouveau critique d'une pensée de l'attention. La partie suivante regroupe un ensemble de textes où se dessine, au fil des années et des remises en cause esthétiques, l'émergence d'un paradigme sonore émancipé du musical et trouvant dès lors, chez l'artiste, son épanouissement dans le champ des arts plastiques. Les questions liées au design sonore et à l'environnement occupent la troisième partie et constituent un important domaine de recherche dans l'évolution du travail de Neuhaus. C'est ici une approche singulière de l'écologie sonore qui se fait jour. Formulée dans le sillage de son intérêt pour l'attention contextuelle de l'écoute et résolument inscrite dans des préoccupations urbaines, la position défendue par Neuhaus invite au passage à reconsidérer l'historiographie de ce champ d'études. La dernière partie réunit enfin les différents textes, documents et entretiens rédigés et donnés par Neuhaus qui simultanément interrogent et projettent, du point de vue sonore, les transformations sociales et esthétiques inhérentes à l'avènement des réseaux, investissant la communication orale au sein d'une communauté déterritorialisée d'une véritable politique de l'auralité."--Résumé du site web de l'éditeur. "La première anthologie en français des écrits et entretiens de Max Neuhaus, figure cruciale de l'expérimentation en musique électronique aux États-Unis et pionnier des arts sonores. Des articles détaillant les enjeux esthétiques de son travail, à ses prises de position critique dans la presse, en passant par les textes de catalogues, entretiens, notices et autres documents de recherche, l'œuvre textuelle de Max Neuhaus (1939-2009) est à l'image de son activité artistique : à la fois riche, ancrée dans les problématiques contemporaines et touchant, à travers le fil rouge que constitue le son, à des sujets particulièrement variés, où l'artiste endosse tour à tour les habits du scientifique, de l'ingénieur, de l'architecte, du designer sonore, ou encore de la critique sociale et institutionnelle.

Among the more striking developments in contemporary North American music theory is the centrality that questions of musical form (Formenlehre) have enjoyed in recent decades. Formal Functions in Perspective presents thirteen studies that engage with musical form in a variety of ways. The essays, written by established and emerging scholars from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European continent, run the chronological gamut from Haydn and Clementi to Leibowitz and Adorno; they discuss Lieder, arias, and choral music as well as symphonies, concerti, and chamber works; they treat Haydn's humor and Saint-Saëns's politics, while discussions of particular pieces range from Mozart's arias to Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht. Running through all of these essays and connecting them thematically is the central notion of formal function. CONTRIBUTORS: Brian Black, L.

Making New Music in Cold War Poland presents a social analysis of new music dissemination at the Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music, one of the most important venues for East-West cultural contact during the Cold War. In this incisive study, Lisa Jakelski examines the festival's institutional organization, negotiations among its various actors, and its reception in Poland, while also considering the festival's worldwide ramifications, particularly the ways that it contributed to the cross-border movement of ideas, objects, and people (including composers, performers, official festival guests, and tourists). This book explores social interactions within institutional frameworks and how these interactions shaped the practices, values, and concepts associated with new music.

Video game music has been permeating popular culture for over forty years, at least since the titular aliens of Space Invaders arrived in 1978, accompanied by an ever-accelerating musical ostinato. Now, reaching hundreds of millions of listeners, game music has grown to encompass a diverse spectrum of musical materials and practices. Its instrumentation ranges from orchestras to rock bands, its contexts from bedroom televisions to concert halls, its materials from 'art music' to Top-40 pop, and its systems from generative music technologies to carefully hand-crafted idiosyncratic musical structures. No longer a novelty within electronic music technology, nor a poor relative to film music, game music engages huge audiences, large budgets, and is the site of innovative scholarship. As well as being a crucial component of the audio-visual interactive experience of video gaming, game music has also had a marked impact on broader popular culture. Simply put, video game music is an important aspect of the musical life of the late-twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the Western world, and has cross-fertilized with many musical genres. At the same time, game music highlights a long tradition of music and play that can be traced back to antiquity.
