Summary: THE DARK SIDE OF MUSIC
Comment: El odio a la musica is a disquieting research into the dark domains of the human soul reflected in certain musical practices that range from its shamanic origins, passing through the insane dellusions of Roman Emperor Neron and the perverse use of music by the nazis in the concentration camps. We tend to take for granted the positive effects and social functions of music in our daily life. Pascal Quignard invites us to take a look into the dark side of music trough a series of historical treaties that confront us with the destructive power of music in the context of its use by power as an instrument of dominion. In this age of sound and musical saturation, where silence is a privilege of the very few, and music we do not want to listen to assaults us in most public spaces, Quignard offers us a profound insight into the non official history of music. Not for dogmatics that take for granted that music is necessarily a good thing. It all depends on the context in which any particular music is played.
