Records hold a fundamental place in the dynamics of modern musical life, but what do they represent? Are they documents? Snapshots? Artworks? Fetishes? Commodities? Conveniences? The Poetics of Rock is a fascinating exploration of recording consciousness and compositional process from the perspective of those who make records. In it, Albin Zak examines the crucial roles played by recording technologies in the construction of rock music and shows how songwriters, musicians, engineers, and producers contribute to the creative project, and how they all leave their mark on the finished work. Zak shapes an image of the compositional milieu by exploring its elements and discussing the issues and concerns faced by artists. Using their testimony to illuminate the nature of record making and of records themselves, he shows that the art of making rock records is a collaborative compositional process that includes many skills and sensibilities not traditionally associated with musical composition. Zak connects all the topics--whether technical, conceptual, aesthetic, or historical--with specific artists and recordings and illustrates them with citations from artists and with musical examples. In lively and engaging prose, The Poetics of Rock brilliantly illustrates how the musical energy from a moment of human expression translates into a musical work wrought in sound. 606 $aRock music$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSound recordings$xProduction and direction 606 $aSound$xRecording and reproducing 610 $aartist. 610 $aartistic. 610 $acontemporary music. 610 $acreative. 610 $acreativity. 610 $aengineers. 610 $afamous music. 610 $afamous musicians. 610 $amodern music. 610 $amusic artist. 610 $amusic composition. 610 $amusic history. 610 $amusic industry. 610 $amusical arrangement. 610 $amusicians. 610 $apoetics. 610 $aproducers. 610 $arecord artist. 610 $arecord industry. 610 $arecording music. 610 $arecording. 610 $arock and roll. 610 $arock music. 610 $asongwriters. 610 $asound engineer. 610 $avinyl music. 610 $avinyl records. 615 0$aRock music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSound recordings$xProduction and direction. 615 0$aSound$xRecording and reproducing. 676 $a781.66/149 700 $aZak$b Albin$01601388 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815571403321 996 $aThe poetics of rock$93975776 997 $aUNINA
