Presentation
We are also publishing a translation of Alf Björnberg’s groundbreaking 1984 paper, “On aeolian harmony in contemporary popular music”. In the “tribune” section, Bruno Lefèbvre reflexively analyses, as an anthropologist, a musicl device alloying technology and hazard which he triggered, “connected armchairs”.
Finally, this issue is concluded with numerous conference and exhibit reports and book reviews which underline the fertility and diversity of popular music studies.
