Semi-Conducting - Rambles Through the Post-Cagean Thicket

Written by composer Nicolas Collins, this book offers a personal journey through 50 years of experimental music. Blending anecdotes and analysis, it explores shifts in composition, improvisation, and the impact of technology on sound. Collins reflects on influences from John Cage to sound art, the merging of pop culture and the avant-garde, and how digital tools have transformed creative thinking and musical expression.
