The popularization of radio, television, and the Internet radically
transformed musical practice in the Asia Pacific. These
technologies bequeathed media broadcasters with a profound
authority over the ways we engage with musical culture.
Broadcasters use this power to promote distinct cultural
traditions, popularize new music, and engage diverse audiences.
They also deploy mediated musics as a vehicle for disseminating
ideologies, educating the masses, shaping national borders, and
promoting political alliances. With original contributions by
leading scholars in anthropology, ethnomusicology, sound studies,
and media and cultural studies, the 12 essays this book investigate
the processes of broadcasting musical culture in the Asia Pacific.
We shift our gaze to the mechanisms of cultural industries in
eastern Asia and the Pacific islands to understand how
oft-invisible producers, musicians, and technologies facilitate,
frame, reproduce, and magnify the reach of local culture.
