Media, Materiality and Memory: Grounding the Groove examines the
entwinement of material music objects, technology and memory in
relation to a range of independent record labels, including Sarah
Records, Ghost Box and Finders Keepers. Moving from Edison's
phonograph to digital music files, from record collections to
online archives, Roy argues that materiality plays a crucial role
in constructing and understanding the territory of recorded sound.
How do musical objects 'write' cultural narratives? How can we
unearth and reactivate past histories by looking at yesterday's
media formats? What is the nature, and fate, of the physical
archive in an increasingly dematerialized world? In what ways do
physical and digital musical objects coexist and intersect? With
its innovative theoretical approach, the book explores the
implications of materialization in the fashioning of a musical
world and its cultural transmission. A substantial contribution to
the field of music and material culture studies, Media, Materiality
and Memory also provides a nuanced and timely reflection on
nostalgia and forgetting in the digital age.
