Description
The first book-length exploration of how English landscapes are represented in contemporary electronic music, Listening to Landscape combines ideas from psychogeography, hauntology and landscape studies to offer a distinctive take on the way contemporary music deals with the ghosts and memories of an England that is fast disappearing.
Moving deftly between cultural theory, musicology and geography, Listening to Landscape serves as a primer on hauntronica that defines the genre as uniquely concerned with questions of landscape and Englishness. However, it argues that 21st-century hauntronica is not mere nostalgia, but should be considered a provocation that helps us imagine a new radical politics for the Anthropocene. In making this argument, it speaks to urgent questions of national identities in the post-Brexit era, offering a distinctive take on the way contemporary culture deals with the ghosts and memories of Albion.
