Nicolas Collins: Collins, N: Semi-Conducting, Fester Einband

Blurb

"Written by a composer long immersed in new and experimental music this book provides a tour of the music, technologies and people that have transformed how we make, hear and think about sound over the past fifty years. As both a participant and critical observer in the post-Cagean musical landscape, Nicolas Collins uses anecdotes and analysis to survey the history and aesthetics of the musical avant-garde. It follows a personal chronology of observations and experiences with music, technology, economics and culture"--
