Landfall 219 On Music
Author(s): William Direen (ed.)
New Zealand music has been made with electric guitars, European orchestral instruments, laptops, bones, voices, skin, wood, pvc piping, air, magnetic tape and digital media. For this special Music issue, the editor seeks to demonstrate the essential cultural value of music and ways of making it in New Zealand. The musical aspect of poetry - phrasing, timing and the insinuation of meaning during performance - is an aspect that creative writers might respond to. Musical aspects of prose - alliterative and rhythmical or structural devices - may carry meaning quite as much as syntactical ones. Also included are writings related to the experience of listening, and especially writing that may consider the role of NZ music and ways of making it in a wider context. First published May 2010.
