Abstract
The aim of this work is to shed light on the cultural context of the contemporary practices in music production. The essay focuses on the use of the archival recordings (both: African-American free jazz heritage, and Polish Radio Experimental Studio tapes) in the process of the reinterpretation of basic cultural categories: „identity” (to rebuild „African-American identity” – Presence Americaine) and „modernity” (to reclaim „Polish modernity”). The field of my research are „Polish Radio Experimental Studio” albums produced by Polish label Bolt Records, and series of free jazz albums produced by labels such as ESP-Disk, Nessa, NoBusiness Records and Transparency. The question is: are these practices a part of the interpretive research and/or a critical theory of the contemporary culture?
