"Plunderphonics is something we live with every day - and rarely give a second thought to when it is the cut-and-paste soundtrack to hip-hop for example. Andrew Jones' book is perhaps the first study of the growth of these techniques within the avant-garde, and traces their roots in the '50s to the New York "downtown" scene of John Zorn and co., and the post-modern eclecticism of Musique Actuelle." Q Features the following artists: Chris Cutler - Fred Frith - Ferdinand Richard - Heiner Goebbels - Willem Breuker - Henry Threadgill - Sergei Kuryokhin - Rova Saxophone Quartet - Amy Denio - Lindsay Cooper - Zeena Parkins - Tenko - John Oswald - John Zorn - Charles Hayward - Roberto Musci & Giovanni Venosta - Les Granules - Fat - Bruire - Justine - The Residents - Kalahari Surfers - After Dinner - Tom Ze. |

PLUNDERPHONICS, 'PATAPHYSICS & POP MECHANICS' Andrew Jones "Here's a community with its nose pointed resolutely forward: from Fred Frith's 'handmade' guitars, to John Zorn's idiot-savant pilfering of the Disney soundtracks he wrote his doctorate on, from Zeena Parkins amazing de-classified harp, its multi-layered chords fed through effects and processors, to John Oswald's copyright busting efforts to trigger as yet uncharted mental reactions to his ultra-high-speed liquidising of Pop and Pomp, its proponents defiantly mess up boundaries between Musics." The Lizard "Packed with fascinating interviews and written with wit and insight" Q "Particularly fascinating is the Cut and Paste section, which is where the new music perhaps collides with contemporary pop (as opposed to jazz or classical), Plunderphonics is especially articulate about the implications of the new wave of sonic appropriation. Thought provoking and stimulating". Mojo |
