Blackstar Theory: The Last Works of David Bowie
Leah Kardos
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.
