i dont think there is
thats what forums are for
but having said that, i always try to tell people all these forms of expressions are the same thing.
you can project ideas from litterary theory, cooking shows, architecture, art scholars on different forms and so on -towards dance music ‘theory’
but maybe we should feel lucky that it doesn’t happen often or too much - because in that sense music often remains ‘untouched’ or at least, is not as negatively influenced by academia as all the other art forms tend to get.
music journalists always talk about the setting or social conditions to try to bring it to a political level
and as you say production interviews always become how tos or recipe-like
(mostly because basicly all music journos suck)
but you can always just watch some art docs on youtube on like impressionism, expressionism, nouveau or bauhaus or whatever and steal those ideas
it seems to me its often because people that dont make music seems to believe the way music can invoke imagery or transport people listening into a zone or conjure abstract feelings and tones -is more important than experiencing the sorta physical or ‘‘architectural’’ or statuesque ‘properties’ or forms music also has
as an example a ‘banger’. is a banger because it stands infront of you like a big thing that bangs
like that is physical imo
a banger is not some tones that bring you to a field of abstract orange colours or tones
its more like a fuck off building or car or whatever lol
it seems the evocative or dreamy side to music, because that is more unique to music, gets talked about more - and maybe that is a good thing
because dance music is still not taken super seriously, and can remain this ritual thing where we bring bangers to life and bang
if a film bangs - it often lacks that emotive, evocative side
but music doesnt seem to have lost that side yet, eventhough dubstep tried lol
i could talk about this for ever
but i hope it makes a little sense
i think there isnt much talk like the thing you’re asking for, because music isnt ‘tainted yet’ largescale
