Description:In Sounds of then, sounds of now: Popular music in Australia some of the country's most respected popular music researchers, musicians and music journalists document a range of past and present Australian sounds and scenes. The collection maps recent changes in music consumption, production and media technologies, and the implications for local industries. It reconciles local music histories with contemporary practice, and reflects upon the growth and current diversity of Australian research, music genres and contexts, including jazz, rock, folk, metal, electronica, dance music, experimental music and hip hop. Chapters examining Aboriginal, Islander and world musics offer new perspectives on local and transnational relationships between popular music, geography and culture in Australia. This text provides a means for understanding how popular music has expressed, reflected and influenced changes in Australian society through debates about youth, nationalism, censorship, local identity, contested spaces and enduring mythologies about 'Australianness'. While some chapters examine earlier scenes and musical forms, the emphasis is upon Australian popular music since World War 2. At the same time, every chapter is informed by global debates and themes, including popular music's ongoing concerns with concepts such as nationalism, cultural imperialism, globalisation, authenticity, appropriation, the 'mainstream', subcultures, genres and the impact of new media and the internet.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
