Whether they summon images of Soft Machine opening for Jimi Hendrix during their 1968 American tour, albums like Robert Wyatt’s Rock Bottom, or bands like Caravan and Hatfield and the North, the artists and music of the British Canterbury scene gave a specific tone to late 1960s / early 1970s rock music. With their unpredictable apparel and radical humor, these musicians’ recordings and performances were multidirectional groundbreaking experiments.
The aim of this special issue of Volume! is to explore this little discussed repertoire, by privileging analysis, history and reception. Two specialists, musicologist Vincenzo Caporaletti and essayist Aymeric Leroy, as well as several other scholars, try to unfold the nature and the meaning of this scene and music.
