Music after the Fall is the first book to survey contemporary
Western art music within the transformed political, cultural, and
technological environment of the post-Cold War era. In this book,
Tim Rutherford-Johnson considers musical composition against this
changed backdrop, placing it in the context of globalization,
digitization, and new media. Drawing connections with the other
arts, in particular visual art and architecture, he expands the
definition of Western art music to include forms of composition,
experimental music, sound art, and crossover work from across the
spectrum, inside and beyond the concert hall. Each chapter is a
critical consideration of a wide range of composers, performers,
works, and institutions, and develops a broad and rich picture of
the new music ecosystem, from North American string quartets to
Lebanese improvisers, from electroacoustic music studios in South
America to ruined pianos in the Australian outback.
Rutherford-Johnson puts forth a new approach to the study of
contemporary music that relies less on taxonomies of style and
technique than on the comparison of different responses to common
themes of permission, fluidity, excess, and loss.
