Blackstar Theory : The Last Works of David Bowie
David Bowie - Book - by Dr.Leah Kardos
(2022)
Blackstar
Theory takes a close look at David Bowie's ambitious last works: his
surprise 'comeback' project The Next Day (2013), the off-Broadway
musical Lazarus (2015) and the album that preceded the artist's death in
2016 by two days, Blackstar. The book explores the swirl of themes that
orbit and entangle these projects from a starting point in musical
analysis and features new interviews with key collaborators from the
period: producer Tony Visconti, graphic designer Jonathan Barnbrook,
musical director Henry Hey, saxophonist Donny McCaslin and assistant
sound engineer Erin Tonkon. These works tackle the biggest of ideas:
identity, creativity, chaos, transience and immortality.
They
enact a process of individuation for the Bowie meta-persona and invite
us to consider what happens when a star dies. In our universe, dying
stars do not disappear - they transform into new stellar objects,
remnants and gravitational forces. The radical potential of the
Blackstar is demonstrated in the rock star supernova that creates a
singularity resulting in cultural iconicity.
It
is how a man approaching his own death can create art that illuminates
the immortal potential of all matter in the known universe.
