'Plunderphonics, 'Pataphysics & Pop Mechanics digs deep into the psyche of the experimental musician. Often marginalised as being "difficult listening", the artists covered in this book have one thing in common - they share an engagement with instrumental and compositional possibilities. Picking up from where Zappa, Beetheart and Sun Ra left off, here are musicians who have splintered into a myriad of different musical orbits, bravely chipping away at the frontiers of jazz, pop and avant-garde music.
Drawing from a recipe of richly international ingredients -
Britain, America, Canada, Russia, Africa, South America, Europe and Japan are all represented - this compendium uncovers a hyperactive underworld of creativity which culminates in the yearly celebration at the Festival Internationale de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville in Quebec.
Through a collection of sparklingly concise essays, Andrew Jones has brought together a complete overview of all the leading lights of musique actuelle. Often perverse and funny, sometimes intense and political, always stimulating and forward looking here is the perfect antidote to the safe, normal, MTV-driven predictability of much of modern music.'
