- Summary:
- A critical companion to the radical DIY record label that challenges the conventions of ethnography, representation, and the category of "world music" This groundbreaking case study examines record production as ethnographic work. Seattle-based record label Sublime Frequencies has produced world music recordings that have been received as radical, sometimes problematic critiques of the practices of sound ethnography. This label's releases encompass collagist sound travelogues and national, regional, and genre surveys-all designed in a style recalling the DIY aesthetic of puck and indie rock. Situated at the intersection of ethnomusicology, sound studies, this timely volume provides critical commentary and charts the impact of the label through listener inteviews. Book jacket.
