Charged with exploring every facet of cutting-edge music coming out of New York City in the 1980s and '90s, Gann writes about a wide array of timely issues that few critics have addressed, including computer music, multiculturalism and its thorny relation to music, music for the AIDS crisis, the brand-new art of electronic sampling and its legal implications, symphonies for electric guitars, operas based on talk shows, the death of twelve-tone music, and the various streams of music that flowed forth from minimalism. In these articles-including interviews with Yoko Ono, Philip Glass, Glenn Branca, and other leading musical figures-Gann paints a portrait of a bristling era in music history and defines the scruffy, vernacular field of Downtown music from which so much of the most fertile recent American music has come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle Gann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520229827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520229822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/26\/2005 pg. 73","brand":"Kyle Gann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056209752319,"sku":"9780520229822","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_468269f4-aae9-4cce-84c4-12ca68652cfa.jpg?v=1685040103","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/music-downtown-kyle-gann-9780520229822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
