News: Music Is My Boyfriend
07.04.2011, 22:34
Ventil Verlag publishes a new book including Texts by Martin Büsser 1990 - 2010. Martins Essay for I Can´t Relax In Deutschland is also part of this great collection of his work.
--
»Music is my Boyfriend« versammelt ausgewählte Texte Martin Büssers aus den letzten 20 Jahren, journalistische, essayistische und literarische. Der Band zeigt die Entwicklung von einem nie auf Effekte und Beliebigkeit zielenden Musikjournalisten hin zu einem Autoren, der trotz begründeter Zweifel an der Popkultur als wichtiger Impulsgeberin für gesellschaftliche Veränderungen festhielt.
Das Buch führt vor Augen, welche Lücke Martin Büsser, der im September 2010 im Alter von 42 Jahren verstarb, im deutschen Kulturbetrieb hinterlässt. Er hat den Ventil Verlag mitgegründet und als Herausgeber und Redakteur über 15 Jahre die Zeitschrift »testcard« geprägt. Darüber hinaus hat er sich als Kunst-, Literatur-, Film- und Musikkritiker einen Namen gemacht und arbeitete als Zeichner und Musiker.
