CONSTELLATION "HEROES"

Tracing David Bowie's Berlin Album Song By Song

​

CONSTELLATION “HEROES” reads David Bowie’s 1977 album as the centre of a wider orbit: a charged zone of resonance and cultural signal. Discerning, imaginative and historically attuned, the book traces a web of connections from Chris Burden to Blackstar, from Tokyo to German Expressionism, from Cold War unease back to Bromley. Framed by Bowie’s Berlin era, it unfolds track by track, linking sonic detail to lyrical shape and production to artistic intent, following the currents that infused the album. It is the most expansive and searching encounter with "Heroes" to date, a record still transmitting.

 

‘A sharp and impressive quest through the many layers of “Heroes”. A must for any Bowie lover.’ – Eduard Meyer, sound engineer at Hansa Studios 1976–2003.

 

‘A fascinating study of Bowie’s creative process, bringing an almost forensic insight into the ideas and influences behind the music.’ – Kevin Armstrong, guitarist with Bowie at Live Aid 1985 and beyond.
