Résumé

Visual interpretation of music: listening to artists through photography. In this photo-essay I interpret the process of musical creation as a result of a cultural and artistic activity that requires both human and technological resources. Musical creation is a confluence of interpersonal and intrapersonal teachings and learnings, vocations, trajectories, professional roles, and both individual and collective identities. Authors like Raymond Williams (1982), Pierre Bourdieu (1994), and Simon Frith (1996), have been my theoretical point of reference about the concepts of role, social reflection, ideology, production of cultural sounds, interpretive arts, and personal and professional identities. My point of departure, and also of arrival, is forged in the works of numerous photographers specializing in music that, for several decades, have provided through their images an interpretation of pop/rock musical culture and its protagonists. They are prominent referents: Janette Beckman, Dean Chalkley, Anton Corbijn, Kevin Cummins, Brad Elterman, Bob Gruen (1974, 1977, 1980), Juan Pérez-Fajardo (2010, 2014 and 2019), Mick Rock, and Pennie Smith
