Abstract

In this talk, I will explore some of the creative practices exemplified in the work of David Bowie, including the adoption of invented personas, musical and aesthetic style transformations and the importance of key collaborative partnerships, tracing the impact and influence of these practices on the wider cultural world, including my own music making. Looking at his latest album “The Next Day”, we will consider what can still be learned from this postmodern pop star whose career spans 5 decades.
