Percussion: Drumming, Beating, Striking
John Mowitt
Presents an attempt to make sense of "senseless beating," to understand how rhythm produces meaning in music and in life. This title examines drumming and beating as musical practice (musicological meaning), as the channelling of violence or shock (sociological meaning), and as a subjective, embodied agent (psychoanalytic meaning).
