Lipsynching, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

What does it mean when a singing voice is detached from an originating body through recording? And how does this affect consumers of recorded song?

This book examines the practice of lipsynching to pre-recorded song in both professional and vernacular contexts, covering over a century of diverse artistic practices from early cinema through to the current popularity of self-produced internet lipsynching videos.

It examines the ways in which we listen to, respond to, and use recorded music, not only as a commodity to be consumed but as a culturally-sophisticated and complex means of identification, a site of projection, introjection, and habitation, and, through this, a means of personal and collective creativity.
