by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Ханс Ульрих Обрист

Данная книга, как и ее предшественница с созвучным названием («Краткая история кураторства»), cоставлена из устных рассказов. Все интервью брал ее автор, Ханс Ульрих Обрист, иногда совместно с Филиппом Паррено. В центре бесед – важнейшие (технологические и интеллектуальные) изобретения экспериментальной авангардной музыки XX века, ее связь с другими видами искусства и наукой, соотношение звука и пространства, звука и времени. Среди собеседников Обриста – Кархайнц Штокхаузен и Терри Райли, Брайан Ино и Янис Ксенакис, Пьер Булез и Каэтану Велозу.

Reviews

[Tosh · Rating 5 out of 5]

"A Brief History of New Music" is a wonderful collection of interviews by art curator and historian, Hans Ulrich Obrist. In fact, this book is a good introduction to avant-garde 20th century music or 'new' music. The usual gang is present, and it is a shame to miss someone like John Zorn and not hear his voice in this anthology. But on the other hand he is mentioned and the footnotes in this collection are superb for the amateur beginner. What's fascinating is the interest of music and combining it either with architecture (music for specific sites), cinema and dance. Highly recommended!

[Michael Dubakov · Rating 5 out of 5]

Замечательная книга для тех, кто раньше не особенно интересовался богатством современной музыки. В общем-то это сборник интервью, но некоторые очень интересные, с погружением в рабочий процесс музыкантов. Я для себя открыл много нового. Особенно клевый жанр — минимализм. Мне больше всех понравились Стив Райх и Терри Райли.

Инструкция по чтению книги:
1. Найти музыку композитора, у которого берут интервью.
2. Читать интервью под музыку данного композитора.
3. Не читать больше трех интервью в день.

Amazing tour on the music with links and commentaries. It's just perfect, it worth reading for everyone who is interested in music.

[Dylan Razzell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great interviews, absurd format (really small type).

[Hannes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Interesting conversations with composers of a very broad range of music. Love the book and still listening to the list of music mentioned in the book:
