Book Synopsis

The final installment of John Zorn''s major series of new music theory, with Oren Ambarchi, Peter Blegvad, Annea Lockwood, Henry Threadgill and many more

Initiated in 1997 and now in its tenth and final installment, John Zorn''s acclaimed Arcana series is a major source of new music theory and practice in the 21st century.

Over 25 years the ten volumes of Arcana have presented the writings of over 300 of the most extraordinary musical thinkers of our time, who address composing, performing, improvising, touring, collaborating, living and thinking about music from diverse, refreshing and often surprising perspectives. Technical, philoso
