iTunes. Spotify. Pandora. With these brief words one can map the
landscape of music today, but these aren't musicians, songs, or
anything else actually musical-they are products and brands. In
this book, Timothy D. Taylor explores just how pervasively
capitalism has shaped music over the last few decades. Examining
changes in the production, distribution, and consumption of music,
he offers an incisive critique of the music industry's shift in
focus from creativity to profits, as well as stories of those who
are laboring to find and make musical meaning in the shadows of the
mainstream cultural industries. Taylor explores everything from the
branding of musicians to the globalization of music to the
emergence of digital technologies in music production and
consumption. Drawing on interviews with industry insiders,
musicians, and indie label workers, he traces both the constricting
forces of bottom-line economics and the revolutionary emergence of
the affordable home studio, the global internet, and the mp3 that
have shaped music in different ways. A sophisticated analysis of
how music is made, repurposed, advertised, sold, pirated, and
consumed, Music and Capitalism is a must read for anyone who cares
about what they are listening to, how, and why.
