Sinossi
Digital technology has changed the ways in which music is perceived, stored, distributed, mediated and created. The world of music is now a vast and complex jungle, teeming with CDs, MP3s, concerts, clubs, festivals, conferences, exhibitions, installations, websites, software programmes, scenes, ideas and competing theories. In the eye of the storm stands David Toop, shedding light on the most interesting music now being made ? on laptops, in downtown bars in Tokyo, wherever he finds it. Haunted Weather is part personal memoir and part travel journal, as well as an intensive survey of recent developments in digital technology, sonic theory and musical practice. Along the way Toop probes into the meaning of sound (and silence), offering fascinating insights into how computers can be used for improvisation. His wealth of musical knowledge provides inspiration for anyone interested in music.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. First published in 2004 by Serpent's Tail, 2nd printing. Brilliant, clean & tight copy, unread, in Very Good condition, despite a minor beump on serpent's spinal tail (still square). "Is it possible to grow electronic sounds, as if they were plants in a garden? Can the resonance of an empty room be played like a musical instrument? Why are childhood memories of sound and silence so important to our emotional development? Is it valid to classify audio recordings of wind or electrical hum as musical compositions? Can computers replace more conventional instruments like the piano or the electric guitar? How can improvisation coexist with computer software? Why have the sounds of our environment become so important to sound artists and why is atmosphere so important in music? In HAUNTED WEATHER, David Toop asks these questions and gauges the impact of new technology on contemporary music. Partly personal memoir, partly travel journal, the book explores ways in which the body survives and redefines its boundaries in a period of intense, unsettling change and disembodiment. At the heart of the book is how sound and silence in space, in memory and in the action of performance acquire meaning." [publisher's copy] "An erudite and entertaining chauffeur, Toop, a noted ambient musician himself, shows us a way of listening differently. He teaches us to enjoy the environmental sounds of pneumatic drills, police helicopters, and tree frogs. He tells us to appreciate the silence between the sounds. Toop [is] up there with Eno as a theorist of ambient music."---Wired. This Paperback Original has brilliant corners & crisp edges (despite that beump), a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no interior markings (because: unread). "Toop knows far more, about a far broader range of music, than any other critic."---New Statesman. Quite presentable. Codice articolo RUB1367
