Listening to, buying and sharing music is an immensely important
part of everyday life. Yet recent technological developments are
increasingly changing how we use and consume music. This book
collects together the most recent studies of music consumption, and
new developments in music technology. It combines the perspectives
of both social scientists and technology designers, uncovering how
new music technologies are actually being used, along with
discussions of new music technologies still in development. With a
specific focus on the social nature of music, the book breaks new
ground in bringing together discussions of both the social and
technological aspects of music use. Chapters cover topics such as
the use of the iPod, music technologies which encourage social
interaction in public places, and music sharing on the internet.
Prof. Dorothy Miell, (Open University) and Associate Dean
(Curriculum ad Awards) in the Social Sciences Faculty, Milton
Keynes, UK says: "A highly original and stimulating collection of
contributions addressing aspects of our everyday music experiences
in the modern world. The picture it paints of music as highly
social and collaborative, yet deeply personal, is a rich and
complex one which advances thinking about the many functions music
plays in our lives. It is often the case that new ideas and
exciting developments emerge at the boundaries between existing
disciplines and bodies of knowledge, and in this text the editors
have succeeded in bringing together work from music, technical and
social science backgrounds to point out possibilities for
researchers at these boundaries as they can be applied to a fast
moving and exciting area of knowledge."
A valuable collection for anyone concerned with the future of
music technology, this book will be of particular interest to those
designing new music technologies, those working in the music
industry, along with students of music and new technology.
