Armed only with turntables, a mixer and a pile of records, hip-hop
DJs and turntable musicians have changed the face of music.
However, whilst hip-hop has long been recognised as an influential
popular culture both culturally and sociologically, hip-hop music
is rarely taken seriously as an artistic genre. Hip-Hop
Turntablism, Creativity and Collaboration values hip-hop music as
worthy of musicological attention and offers a new approach to its
study, focusing on the music itself and providing a new framework
to examine not only the musical product, but also the creative
process through which it was created. Based on ten years of
research among turntablist communities, this is the first book to
explore the creative and collaborative processes of groups of DJs
working together as hip-hop turntable teams. Focusing on a variety
of subjects - from the history of turntable experimentation and the
development of innovative sound manipulation techniques, to
turntable team formation, collective creation and an analysis of
team routines - Sophy Smith examines how turntable teams have
developed new ways of composing music, and defines characteristics
of team routines in both the process and the final artistic
product. Relevant to anyone interested in turntable music or
innovative music generally, this book also includes a new turntable
notation system and methodology for the analysis of turntable
compositions, covering aspects such as material, manipulation
techniques and structure as well as the roles of individual
musicians.
