Mankind – Music – Technology
Martin Flašar
Kniha je výsledkem trvalého zaujetí autora pro hudbu 20. a počínajícího 21. století a jeho celoživotního zájmu o technologie. Jak artificiální komponovanou hudbu posledních desetiletí ovlivňuje vývoj techniky? Jak se nové technologie promítají do hudebního myšlení skladatelů? Právě na tyto otázky přináší kniha odpovědi.
“The author Martin Flašar has undertaken research that is long overdue concerning the relationship between the musician and rapidly evolving technology including techniques within music. The author focuses on 20th- and 21st-century art music exploring a period of the most rapid and extreme revolutions this art form has ever known. Instead of empirically analysing selected examples, Flašar has taken on the greater challenge of investigating his subject within the context of centuries of philosophy, sociology, and critical theory as well as music and musicology. He presents a methodology that is clearly applicable well beyond this subject and offers a readable yet profound volume discussing and contextualising the diverse horizon of relationships musicians have with their technology ranging from avoidance to dependence, assisting in its development to applying technology only when useful. This book represents the launch of an essential field of study.”
