This book explores the transformation of ideas of the material in
late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century musical composition.
New music of this era is argued to reflect a historical moment when
the idea of materiality itself is in flux. Engaging with thinkers
such as Theodor Adorno, Sara Ahmed, Zygmunt Bauman, Rosi Braidotti,
and Timothy Morton, the author considers music's relationship with
changing material conditions, from the rise of neo-liberalisms and
information technologies to new concepts of the natural world.
Drawing on musicology, cultural theory, and philosophy, the author
develops a critical understanding of musical bodies, objects, and
the environments of their interaction. Music is grasped as
something that both registers material changes in society whilst
also enabling us to practice materiality differently.
