Editor's info:
Answering a need for critical attention towards experimental and avant-garde music, Arcana is a ground-breaking work — as far-ranging and dynamic as the current generation of musicians. Through manifestoes, scores, interviews, notes and critical papers, performer/composers address composing, playing, improvising, teaching, and thinking in and through music. Rather than an attempt to distill or define musicians' work, Arcana illuminates with personal vision and experience. Arcana is a remarkable book — challenging and original — essential for composers, musicians, theorists and fans alike.
Arcana is a vibrant testimony to the continuing vitality of new music. These exciting young composers are as idiosyncratic and eloquent with words as they are with music.
—Meredith Monk composer/singer
Arcana, edited by John Zorn, is filled with writings by musicians from all over the musical map.
