Music, Electronic Media and Culture $124.95 Technology revolutionised the ways that music was produced in the twentieth century. As that century drew to a close and a new century begins a new revolution in roles is underway. The separate categories of composer, performer, distributor and listener are being challenged, while the sounds of the world itself become available for musical use. All kinds of sounds are now brought into the remit of composition, enabling the music of others to be sampled (or plundered), including that of unwitting musicians from non-western cultures. This sound world may appear contradictory – stimulating and invigorating as well as exploitative and destructive. This book addresses some of the issues now posed by the brave new world of music produced with technology. |

a classic in the area of subcultural studies,
I never write reviews, but I Felt compelled because my experience with this book was so different from the other reviewer’s. I found this book very easy to read. She explores rave culture in the U.K. through her first-hand research and she extends Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital in a very natural way. This book will surely be in the cannon of important subcultural analyses, and I’ve seen it referenced many times in scholarly articles. It is at once scholarly and interesting, and I definitely recommend it.

disappointing,
I got this book after very much enjoying Thornton’s “7 Days in the Art World”. But this book is just about unreadable. I stopped after about 30 minutes. It might have made an OK long magazine article, but it is just too booooooring.
