Flowing through our everyday lives as a given and oft-underacknowledged artefact to accompany our shopping, car trips, date nights, and gym days. Yet songs have a history as long as humanity and language. They hold a place, up until recently in our evolution, as an oral history library of the human species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy then is there limited scholarship about how songs tell stories, and the ways in which those stories come together with sounds? And why is there a disconnect between songwriting as industrial practice and academic thought? \u003ci\u003eA New Philosophy of Songwriting\u003c\/i\u003e argues that all songwriting choices are storytelling choices and asks the question: how can we think about Song as one of the most memorable, potent, multimodal, and portable storytelling devices ever devised?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn doing so, Andy Ward and Briony Luttrell make the case for rethinking the analysis of songs and practice of songwriting with an emphasis on listening. This is a book for songwriters, scholars, and song lovers alike. Ultimately, the authors challenge contemporary thinking on music and song itself and argue for a new theorisation of song as a multimodal storytelling sonic act.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595677450476,"sku":"9781666931679","price":212.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781666931679-a-new-philosophy-of-songwriting.jpg?v=1777900970"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/briony-luttrell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
