Wired for Sound is the first anthology to address the role of sound
engineering technologies in the shaping of contemporary global
music. Wired sound is at the basis of digital audio editing,
multi-track recording, and other studio practices that have
powerfully impacted the world's music. Distinctions between
musicians and engineers increasingly blur, making it possible for
people around the globe to imagine new sounds and construct new
musical aesthetics. This collection of 11 essays employs primarily
ethnographical, but also historical and psychological, approaches
to examine a range of new, technology-intensive musics and musical
practices such as: fusions of Indian film-song rhythms, heavy
metal, and gamelan in Jakarta; urban Nepali pop which juxtaposes
heavy metal, Tibetan Buddhist ritual chant, rap, and Himalayan
folksongs; collaborations between Australian aboriginals and sound
engineers; the production of "heaviness" in heavy metal music; and
the production of the "Austin sound." This anthology is must
reading for anyone interested in the global character of
contemporary music technology.
CONTRIBUTORS: Harris M. Berger, Beverley Diamond, Cornelia Fales,
Ingemar Grandin, Louise Meintjes, Frederick J. Moehn, Karl
Neunfeldt, Timothy D. Taylor, Jeremy Wallach.
