Plunderphonics

"Plunderphonics is something we live with every day - and rarely give a second thought to when it is the cut-and-paste soundtrack to hip-hop for example. Andrew Jones' book is perhaps the first study of the growth of these techniques within the avant-garde, and traces their roots in the '50s to the New York "downtown" scene of John Zorn and co., and the post-modern eclecticism of Musique Actuelle." Q

PLUNDERPHONICS, 'PATAPHYSICS & POP MECHANICS'

Andrew Jones


"Canyon-deep appraisal of guitar-meister. Stump will satisfy discerning laymen and supermuso alike with his glowing critique of an entire career"
Uncut Magazine

"Packed with fascinating interviews and written with wit and insight" Q

"Particularly fascinating is the Cut and Paste section, which is where the new music perhaps collides with contemporary pop (as opposed to jazz or classical), Plunderphonics is especially articulate about the implications of the new wave of sonic appropriation. Thought provoking and stimulating". Mojo
