商品描述

A vital new theory of popular music considered as political strategy, from Industrial to Britpop.

Sound Strategies reframes popular music as a counter-ideological method. Reconsidering bands as a form of conceptual art project, the book contends that what we can learn from them goes beyond music production. Rather than exploring explicitly political music, it asks instead how cultural artefacts might perform politics.

Taking the 1990s as a point of rupture, a time when "a culture of margins collapsed around a center," it considers how alternative music lost its oppositional status, becoming submerged in a new pluralism. Mining the varied histories of industrial music, minimal synth, indie, Britpop, and electroclash, and relecting on the work of Throbbing Gristle, Chicks On Speed, Stereolab, Mashina, Laibach, and the Manic Street Preachers amongst others, Sound Strategies considers new ways of listening to, thinking about, and making music as an artistic and political strategy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一個關於流行音樂作為政治策略的重要新理論,從工業音樂到英倫流行。

聲音策略 將流行音樂重新框架為一種反意識形態的方法。這本書重新思考樂隊作為一種概念藝術項目,主張我們從中學到的東西超越了音樂製作。它不僅僅探討明確的政治音樂,而是詢問文化產物如何能夠執行政治。

以1990年代作為斷裂點,這是一個「邊緣文化圍繞中心崩潰」的時期,它考慮了替代音樂如何失去其對立地位,淹沒在新的多元主義中。挖掘工業音樂、極簡合成器、獨立音樂、英倫流行和電子撞擊的多樣歷史,並反思Throbbing Gristle、Chicks On Speed、Stereolab、Mashina、Laibach和Manic Street Preachers等人的作品,聲音策略 考慮了作為藝術和政治策略的新聆聽、思考和創作音樂的方式。
