Semionauts of traditionmusic, culture and identity in contemporary Singapore /[electronic resource] :by Juliette Yu-Ming Lizeray, Chee-Hoo Lum. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2018. - xiv, 249 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Preface -- Introduction -- Chapter 1: On Tradition, Youth and Music in Contemporary Singapore -- Chapter 2: Where got Singapore Sound? -- Chapter 3: Collaborative Creativity: Perspectives from a Contemporary Instrumental Group in Singapore -- Chapter 4: Strategic authenticity and the 'new Malay': an ethnomusicological case study of NADI Singapura -- Chapter 5: Creative Processes and Musical Analysis -- Chapter 6: Music, Chineseness and the Quest for the Cool -- Chapter 7: Musings about Education and Professional Development -- Chapter 8: 'Identities' in Context of Ethnomusicology in the Singapore Music Scene -- Chapter 9: Perspectives on fieldwork in Singapore's music scene -- Chapter 10: Voice of the Musicians - Commentaries and Reflections -- Acknowledgements.

This book explores questions of identity, cultural change and creativity from the perspective of contemporary musicians currently engaged in redefining Asian musical traditions and notions of heritage in Singapore. Drawing on the fields of anthropology, cultural studies, and ethnomusicology, Semionauts of Traditionfocuses on emerging millennial musicians and explores the complex and interwoven cultural, national, musical, and personal identifications in their discourse and music practice. It shows how they create fluid, hybrid and counter-hegemonic forms of expression, representation and identity through their navigation of diverse cultural worlds, their incorporation of a myriad of elements into their own identities and music, and their contestations of preconceived notions of difference and tradition. The book exposes paradoxes within current thinking about 'multiracialism', 'racial harmony', the 'East/West divide' and 'tradition versus modernity,' and proposes new ways of understanding identity, cultural change and creativity in a highly globalised, and diverse nation. This highly-original polyvocal account of a burgeoning music scene includes photos, musical scores and reaction pieces by musicians. It is a timely contribution to global discussions about 'multiculturalism from below,' as well as musical, cultural and national identities in a postcolonial Southeast Asian setting, from the viewpoint of artists engaged in creative meaning-making. "This captivating book explores - with tremendous intellectual vitality - the dialectic relationships between the cultural, ethnic and national identities of Singapore's creative youth, and their creative practice. A compelling read!" Dr Liora Bresler, Professor, University of Illinois "A well-researched and thoughtfully well-written book about the diverse forms of music in Singapore and the musicians who created it." - Jeremy Monteiro, jazz pianist, singer, composer, and music educator "This wonderfully lucid and compelling book analyzes the musical and cultural creativity of young Singaporean musicians growing up in a multicultural and ethnically plural society, bringing Asian and Western musical cultures into creative dialogue." - Dr Deborah Pacini Hernandez, Professor Emeritus, Tufts University "A thought provoking dialogue on contemporary Singaporean music!" -Eric Watson, composer, conductor, music technologist and pedagogue.
