[EAN: 9780199832606], Neubuch, [PU: OXFORD UNIV PR], MUSIC / SONGBOOKS; HISTORY & CRITICISM, nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Industrial is a descriptor that fans and critics have applied to a remarkable variety of music: the oildrum pounding of Einstürzende Neubauten, the processed electronic groans of Throbbing Gristle, the drumloop clatter of Skinny Puppy, and the synthpop songcraft of VNV Nation, to name just a few. But the stylistic breadth and subcultural longevity of industrial music suggests that the common ground here might not be any one particular sound, but instead anetwork of ideologies. This book traces industrial music's attitudes and practices from their earliest articulations - a hundred years ago - through the genre's mid-1970s formation and its development up to the present and beyond.Taking cues from radical intellectuals like Antonin Artaud, William S. Burroughs, and Guy Debord, industrial musicians sought to dismantle deep cultural assumptions so thoroughly normalized by media, government, and religion as to seem invisible. More extreme than punk, industrial music revolted against the very ideas of order and reason: it sought to strip away the brainwashing that was identity itself. It aspired to provoke, bewilder, and roar with independence. Of course, whether thisrevolution succeeded is another question.Assimilate is the first serious study published on industrial music. Through incisive discussions of musicians, audiences, marketers, cities, and songs, this book traces industrial values, methods, and goals across forty years of technological, political, and artistic change. A scholarly musicologist and a longtime industrial musician, S. Alexander Reed provides deep insight not only into the genre's history but also into its ambiguous relationship with symbols of totalitarianism andevil. Voicing frank criticism and affection alike, this book reveals the challenging and sometimes freeiring ways that industrial music both responds to and shapes the world.Assimilate is essential reading for anyone who has ever imagined limitless freedom, danced alone in the dark, or longed for more noise., Books<
