As you will have noticed, for the fi rst time this catalogue is coming out under the Bloomsbury name instead of the separate Continuum and Bloomsbury Academic imprints. We wanted to give you some background to this rebranding: in 2008, Bloomsbury decided to invest in building a new academic division. Growth since that decision was taken has been very rapid; we now publish around 1,100 titles each year, with a particularly big presence in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and our backlist comprises some 20,000 titles. The purchase of Continuum in 2011 was a key part of this growth. We believe we are stronger as a group, which is why we have taken the strategic decision to adopt the Bloomsbury name for all academic titles that we publish. The values of Continuum, Berg and our other imprints, which you have appreciated over the years, are already integral to the larger entity that is LETTER FROM THE EDITOR THE LETTER FROM Bloomsbury. Much has changed over the past 2 years, but we remain as committed to our authors and to publishing the same high quality textbooks, course books, and research. In this catalogue, we are excited to announce some very important new titles. We’ve re-launched the 33 1/3 series under the Bloomsbury name and will be releasing 20 new volumes on new albums over the next two years. First up, in October 2013, is a brilliant book by Darran Anderson on Serge Gainsbourg’s Histoire de Melody Nelson shortly followed by Phillip Crandall’s diligently-researched take on Andrew W.K.’s cult classic, I Get Wet. Finally, we are delighted to promote our global Bloomsbury website: www.bloomsbury.com. This site brings together everything under the Bloomsbury Group, including Continuum, Berg, Methuen Drama, Arden Shakespeare, T&T Clark, Bristol Classical Press, and A&C Black titles. The site features enhanced academic functionality such as online previews, digital inspection copies, textbook companion sites and online resources. Go to www.bloomsbury.com/academic for more information. I hope you enjoy reading our latest catalogue.

The book frames recent experimental composition as a deviant kind of sound art whose a ective and formal elements refl ect on current issues in contemporary culture, and o ers analyses of musical works and performance practices that are rarely heard, let alone considered as signifi cant cultural phenomena - showing the role that obscurity and the esoteric have in articulating current cultural realities. Ambitious in content and experimental in its approach, Boring Formless Nonsense will challenge and fracture your views on failure, creativity, and experimental music. ELDRITCH PRIEST is a composer, writer and co-artistic director of the experimental music collective Neither/Nor. Priest’s essays on musical aesthetics and avant-garde poetics have appeared in various academic journals including Postmodern Culture, Radical Musicology and Mosaic.

While the eyes may lead to the soul, the mouth exposes the vitality of the body. Examining the movements of the mouth, or what LaBelle terms “micro-oralities,” this book considers the relation of voice and mouth, suggesting that the importance of voicing is inextricably bound to the exertions of the oral. BRANDON LABELLE is Professor at the National Academy of the Arts in Bergen, Norway. He is also the editor of Errant Bodies Press and organizer of the related Surface Tension project.
