In Soundworks Anthony Reed argues that studying sound requires
conceiving it as process and as work. Since the long Black Arts era
(ca. 1958-1974), intellectuals, poets, and musicians have defined
black sound as radical aesthetic practice. Through their recorded
collaborations as well as the accompanying interviews, essays,
liner notes, and other media, they continually reinvent black sound
conceptually and materially. Soundwork is Reed's term for that
material and conceptual labor of experimental sound practice framed
by the institutions of the culture industry and shifting historical
contexts. Through analyses of Langston Hughes's collaboration with
Charles Mingus, Amiri Baraka's work with the New York Art Quartet,
Jayne Cortez's albums with the Firespitters, and the multimedia
projects of Archie Shepp, Matana Roberts, Cecil Taylor, and Jeanne
Lee, Reed shows that to grasp black sound as a radical
philosophical and aesthetic insurgence requires attending to it as
the product of material, technical, sensual, and ideological
processes.
