| Summary: | "Interpretive Labor: Experimental Music at Work introduces and develops the author's theory of Interpretive Labor, based on examples from the postwar Euro-American avant-garde and other forms of experimentalism. The book establishes several models of musical work: the Executive calling the shots, the Scientist testing and refining, the Administrator making sure events happen, the Hacker subverting a given system, and the Gamer making a new system entirely. Each model of Interpretive Labor, and its representative case studies, demonstrates a unique but interrelated form of engagement with the work of being a contemporary musician.

Its characters comprise a powerful system of working methods that can help us understand creative work more broadly"-- |
