Songs instantly emanate from our computers and phones, at any time of day. The tools for playing and making music, such as records and guitars, wait for us in stores, ready for purchase and use. And when we no longer need them, we can leave them at the curb, where they disappear effortlessly and without a trace. These casual engagements often conceal the complex infrastructures that make our musical cultures possible. Audible Infrastructures takes readers to the sawmills, mineshafts, power grids, telecoms networks, transport systems, and junk piles that seem peripheral to musical culture and shows that they are actually pivotal to what music is, how it works, and why it matters. Organized into three parts dedicated to the main phases in the social life and death of musical commodities — resources and production, circulation and transmission, failure and waste — this book provides a concerted archaeology of music's media infrastructures. As contributors reveal the material-environmental realities and political-economic conditions of music and listening, they open our eyes to the hidden dimensions of how music is made, delivered, and disposed of. In rethinking our responsibilities as musicians and listeners, this book calls for nothing less than a reconsideration of how music comes to sound.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 155mmItem Length: 231mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 458gContributor: Kyle Devine (Edited by), Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier (Edited by)Author: Kyle DevineGenre: Music Dance & TheatreTopic: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Critical Conjunctures in Music and SoundRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
