Has the virtual invaded the realm of the real, or has the real
expanded its definition to include what once was characterized as
virtual? With the continual evolution of digital technology, this
distinction grows increasingly hazy. But perhaps the distinction
has become obsolete; perhaps it is time to pay attention to the
intersections, mutations, and transmigrations of the virtual and
the real. Certain it is time to reinterpret the practice and study
of music. The Oxford Handbook of Music and Virtuality, edited by
Shelia Whiteley and Shara Rambarran, is the first book to offer a
kaleidoscope of interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars around
the globe on the way in which virtuality mediates the
dissemination, acquisition, performance, creation, and reimagining
of music. The Oxford Handbook of Music and Virtuality addresses
eight themes that often overlap and interact with one another.
Questions of the role of the audience, artistic agency, individual
and communal identity, subjectivity, and spatiality repeatedly
arise. Authors specifically explore phenomena including holographic
musicians and virtual bands, and the benefits and detriments
surrounding the free circulation of music on the internet. In
addition, the book investigates the way in which fans and musicians
negotiate gender identities as well as the dynamics of audience
participation and community building in a virtual environment. The
handbook rehistoricizes the virtual by tracing its progression from
cartoons in the 1950s to current industry innovations and changes
in practice. Well-grounded and wide-reaching, this is a book that
students of any number of disciplines, from Music to Cultural
Studies, have awaited.
