We live in an era of experimentation - both if we look at the
broader social world of politics, media and art and at the narrower
context of academic knowledge production. This collection consists
of 14 chapters by leading scholars in affect studies. They explore
the affective dimensions of experimental practices related to, for
example, activism, the COVID-19 pandemic, populism, sustainability,
patient communities, music streaming, Jamaican dancehall, gangs,
leadership, tourism and minority youth cultures. Experiments are
understood as intentionally crafted milieus aimed at (re)presenting
unnoticed aspects of the world, as non-linear processes with
unpredictable outcomes, and as ways of giving the future a
provisional form. The collection responds to a pressing need to
understand the intersection between affect, experimentation and
sociocultural change by offering empirical strategies to explore
how, and with what consequences, experimentation is affective.
In ten original essays, Danish music and media scholars discuss
aspects of music on the radio from the 1920s until today.
Understanding music radio as a distributed phenomenon or as a
multiplicity, the authors draw upon anthropology, cultural studies
and media studies along with sociological and historiographical
theory. The intention is to further develop interdisciplinary
approaches that may grasp the complex interrelations between radio
as an institution and as practices on the one hand and music,
musical practices, and musical life on the other. The essays'
examples and cases are all related to the Danish Broadcasting
Corporation (DR) and offer a music radio production perspective.
They span the period from when broadcast music was only live to
today where almost all of it is prerecorded and digitized. Some of
the essays approach broad topics like early music radio's
contributions to the regulation of national centres and
peripheries, the debates on music radio as mechanical music, and
the general changes in music repertoires and in the status of the
institution's live ensembles. Music radio's roles as gatekeeper
through automatic music programming are discussed in several
articles as are the many ways music genres and radio formats
interact. Some of the authors turn to detailed analyses at
programme level in order to explain aspects of modern music radio
and to suggest analytical models. The essays come with an
introduction consisting of an extended overview of international
music radio studies since the 1930s, and overview of the
development of Danish music radio, and a theoretical preamble.

Why is music so important to radio? This anthology explores the
ways in which musical life and radio interact, overlap and have
influenced each other for nearly a century. One of music radio's
major functions is to help build smaller or larger communities by
continuously offering broadcast music as a means to create identity
and senses of belonging. Music radio also helps identify and
develop musical genres in collaboration with listeners and the
music industry by mediating and by gatekeeping. Focusing on music
from around the world, Music Radio discusses what music radio is
and why or for what purposes it is produced. Each essay illuminates
the intricate cultural processes associated with music and radio
and suggests ways of working with such complexities.
