Schnittstellen zwischen performance und Analyse von Popmusik. Performative Produktionsprozesse in Pink Floyds Album Wish You Were Here und Jordan Rudessʼ Coverversion von Genesisʼ... by Hubertus Dreyer, Pascal Horn

“…These two approaches are applied to Pink Floyd’s album Wish You Were Here (1975) and to Jordan Rudess’ cover version (2007) of Genesis’ Dance on a Volcano (1975/76). Both works belong to the prog rock tradition and display a similar level of musical complexity; the way in which these works are complex, however, differs and reflects different production styles: Pink Floydʼs album is the result of a quasi vegetative growth under strong psychological distress, leading to a dense network of musical cross-references throughout the album; Jordan Rudess, on the other hand, proceeds rationally and economically, and the artistic effect of the result owes much to the virtuosity of the musicians.…”
