Arcana II - Musicians On Music

Edited by John Zorn

The second in a groundbreaking series of volumes presented by John Zorn answering a continuing need for critical attention toward avant-garde and experimantal music. Thirty distinguished composer/performers illuminate and speculate upon method and practice in the process of making, experiencing, and thinking about music. Imaginatively elucidating through essays, scores, manifestos, and interviews both real and imaginary, 'Arcana II' gives voice to a new generation of brave musical explorers living outside the mainstream academy who passionately and selflessly devote themselves to a search for the miraculous.
Includes contributions by Borah Bergman, Uri Caine, Steve Coleman, Dave Douglas, Milford Graves, Butch Morris, Evan Parker, Ned Rothenberg and many more.
