Announcing a new book publication for members interested in music and philosophy and the interrelation of each. Steve Tromans, Rhythmicity and Deleuze: Practice as Research in the Musical-Philosophical, Lexington Books / R&LI (link to full info below):
In this detailed and comprehensive study of concepts from Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of time, Tromans undertakes a series of practice as research projects that reformulate Deleuze’s work via what Tromans calls a “musical-philosophical” practice. Tromans interweaves his own solo-piano improvisation and composition with analyses of his and others’ works in improvisation and experimental musics, leading to the creation of new, interdisciplinary concept or conceptual practice that he calls Rhythmicity: a way to rethink the temporal in respect of how we model its movements and relationships. Through the models of temporal interaction devised via each project, Deleuze’s concepts are transformed via their incorporation into the musical-philosophical mix. In addition, music improvisation and composition are shown to be utilisable for more than the making of music alone, with the thesis providing fresh insight for the fields of practice as research in music, Deleuze studies, experimental music, and Performance Philosophy in respect of its uniqueness of process and output.
"Through three ingeniously constructed research projects, Tromans explores the possibilities of music and philosophy as interacting modes of thought ... Essential reading for students of Deleuze, aesthetics and interarts collaboration." - Ronald Bogue, University of Georgia
"In this fascinating book, Steve Tromans makes a significant and unusual contribution to the ever-expanding fields of improvisation studies and performance philosophy ... The result is a book that will be welcomed by those many philosophically engaged creative practitioners who have sought greater equality in the relationship between practice-based research and philosophical theory." - Gary Peters, York St John University
"Steve Tromans’ Rhythmicity and Deleuze is an important work of Performance Philosophy - bringing a much-needed practitioner perspective to the field of Deleuzian Music Philosophy informed by his highly respected career as a pianist and composer ... Crucially, this is a book we must listen to as well as read, or indeed listen to as we read!" - Laura Cull, Amsterdam University of the Arts
