{"product_id":"9781623564940","title":"Being Time: Case Studies in Musical Temporality","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are few texts which delve beyond a superficial examination of how we experience temporality in experimental music, even though it is precisely this area of music which provides such radically unique temporal experiences for listeners. In a highly accessible format using case studies, \u003ci\u003eBeing Time\u003c\/i\u003e employs an ongoing dialogue to examine in depth how various compositional concerns within experimental and minimal musics affect our sense of time and duration. Various theoretical viewpoints inform the dialogue, but the phenomenological lineage from Husserl, through Merleau-Ponty to Clifton infuses the discussion to provide experiential arguments, rather than abstracted hypotheses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn introductory chapter on experimental music is followed by studies of individual composers and artists such as Morton Feldman, Manfred Werder, Bernhardt Günter, Richard Chartier, La Monte Young and Toshiya Tsunoda which are embedded in the continuing discourse, along with issues of perception and memory in experimental music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeing Time\u003c\/i\u003e promotes deep, considered thought on the radical natures of our personal experience of temporality when listening to contemporary experimental approaches to composition and performance, and consequently promoting the participatory qualities of the listener in the act of music-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042258239728,"sku":"9781623564940","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781623564940_p0.jpg?v=1763863137","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781623564940","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
