The conversations generated by the chapters in Music's Immanent
Future grapple with some of music's paradoxes: that music of the
Western art canon is viewed as timeless and universal while other
kinds of music are seen as transitory and ephemeral; that in order
to make sense of music we need descriptive language; that to open
up the new in music we need to revisit the old; that to arrive at a
figuration of music itself we need to posit its starting point in
noise; that in order to justify our creative compositional works as
research, we need to find critical languages and theoretical
frameworks with which to discuss them; or that despite being an
auditory system, we are compelled to resort to the visual metaphor
as a way of thinking about musical sounds. Drawn to musical sound
as a powerful form of non-verbal communication, the authors include
musicologists, philosophers, music theorists, ethnomusicologists
and composers. The chapters in this volume investigate and ask
fundamental questions about how we think, converse, write about,
compose, listen to and analyse music. The work is informed by the
philosophy primarily of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and
secondarily of Michel Foucault, Julia Kristeva and Jean-Luc Nancy.
The chapters cover a wide range of topics focused on twentieth and
twenty-first century musics, covering popular musics, art music,
acousmatic music and electro-acoustic musics, and including music
analysis, music's ontology, the noise/music dichotomy,
intertextuality and music, listening, ethnography and the current
state of music studies. The authors discuss their philosophical
perspectives and methodologies of practice-led research, including
their own creative work as a form of research. Music's Immanent
Future brings together empirical, cultural, philosophical and
creative approaches that will be of interest to musicologists,
composers, music analysts and music philosophers.
