post-croon?

'Post-croon' describes a condition where the singer  (the composer, the performer, etc.) seeks to disturb systems of representation and hierarchies of domination that insist between the art of song and

the will to power.


If ‘croon’ is onomatopoeic, like the cooing of a dove, then ‘post-croon’ adds a little physical, conceptual and sonic spittle

to the procedure. It is alert to the war of language. Its poetry attempts to dispossess totality. Post-crooners do not sing

(self)love songs, but songs of hedge funds, galleries and humanoidism. They will sometimes abandon the microphone

and sing in a big voice.


Post-croon intgergates the link between subjectivity and voice.


Post-croon attempts to subvert the conventions of songwriting, sometimes by its proximity to them. It often seeks the disavowed excesses that resist commodification, that metastasize in art and will.
