Uproot : travels in twenty-first-century music and digital culture / by Clayton, Jace,author.(CARDINAL)650478;
Confessions of a DJ -- Auto-tune gives you a better me -- How music travels -- World music 2.0 -- Red Bull gives you wings -- Cut & paste --Tools -- Loops -- How to hold on? -- Active listening."In 2001 Jace Clayton was an unknown DJ who recorded a three-turntable, sixty minute mix and put it online to share with friends. Within weeks, Gold Teeth Thief became an international calling card, whisking Clayton away to play at a nightclub in Zagreb, a gallery in Osaka, a former brothel in Sao Paulo, the American Museum of Natural History. Just as the music world made its fitful, uncertain transition from analog to digital, Clayton found himself on the front lines of the creative upheavals of art production in the twenty-first-century globalized world. Uproot is an 'accessible and profound' (Douglas Rushkoff) tour of this newly opened cultural space. With humor, insight, and expertise, Clayton illuminates the connections between a Congolese hotel band and the indie-rock scene, Mexican rodeo teens and Israeli techno, and Whitney Houston and the robotic voices in rural Moroccan song--and offers an unparalleled understanding of music in the digital age"--
