By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Music Resists Meaning: The Major Writings of Herbert Bruen (Paperback)
Also available in a hardcover edition (0819566691, $70.00) and deftly edited by Arun Chanra, When Music Resists Meaning: The Major Writings Of Herbert Brun is an anthology of essays by electronic and computer music pioneer Herbert Brun (1918-2000). Delving into such questions as the social functions of "composer" and "listener", the use of "time" in art, how "communication" hastens the end of new thoughts, creative rebirth and reformation, and much more, these lectures offer valuable insights into the composition process for experts and non-professionals alike. An accompanying CD ably presents Brun's own musical works, in this thoughtful resource for any 20th century musician or music historian, especially those with a keen interest in modern music's evolution through the media of computers and electronics.
