By Peter Szendy,Will Bishop
The musicological impulse to stock these our bodies that produce sound is termed into query right here. In Szendy’s palms, its first rate corpus of scholarship is learn aslant, on the way to tease out what it always prefers to conceal: hybrids and grafts produced through energetic fictions, monsters, and chimera looking ahead to the chance to be embodied. past those singular our bodies that tune composes and disposes there lies the determine of a collective “social” physique able to emerge amid an innervated equipment that operates at a distance, telepathically.
Phantom Limbs touches on our bodies of all sizes and styles that hang-out the perimeters of music’s conceptualizations. song regularly reinvents such our bodies and reconvenes them in new collective formations. it's their dynamics and crystallizations that Szendy auscultates on a motley corpus that comes with Bach, Diderot, Berlioz, Eisenstein, Disney, and Monk.
