No Sound is Innocent: AMM and the Practice of Self-invention, Meta-musical Narratives, EssaysMusic/culture/politics. Once again in stock, imported from the UK. No Sound is Innocent presents the collected writings -- or 'meta-musical narrative' -- of Edwin Prevost, musician-theoretician and founding member of AMM, perhaps the western world's most long-lived and rigorously engaged improvising band. Since the 60s AMM, involving especially Keith Rowe, John Tilbury, the late composer/theorist Cornelius Cardew, and Lou Gare besides Prevost have attacked established conventions of music-making to arrive at a synthesis of spontaneity, invention and musical praxis of extraordinary interest. |
