The conventional way of understanding what musicians do as
performers is to treat them as producers of sound; some even argue
that it is unnecessary to see musicians in performance as long as
one can hear them. But musical performance, counters Philip
Auslander, is also a social interaction between musicians and their
audiences, appealing as much to the eye as to the ear. In Concert:
Performing Musical Persona he addresses not only the visual means
by which musicians engage their audiences through costume and
physical gesture, but also spectacular aspects of performance such
as light shows. Although musicians do not usually enact fictional
characters on stage, they nevertheless present themselves to
audiences in ways specific to the performance situation.
Auslander's term to denote the musician's presence before the
audience is musical persona. While presence of a musical persona
may be most obvious within rock and pop music, the book's analysis
extends to classical music, jazz, blues, country, electronic music,
laptop performance, and music made with experimental digital
interfaces. The eclectic group of performers discussed include the
Beatles, Miles Davis, Keith Urban, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Frank
Zappa, B. B. King, Jefferson Airplane, Virgil Fox, Keith Jarrett,
Glenn Gould, and Laurie Anderson.
