Product Description
Synopsis
Digital technology has changed the ways in which music is perceived, stored, distributed, mediated and created. Contemporary sound work addresses memories, sensations and reactions directly, sometimes offering solutions or insights and sometimes making it all worse. Meanwhile, a torrent of CDs and MP3s floods over systems of marketing and distribution already on the point of collapse. Many of these changes seem too new, or too subtle, to understand fully, let alone explain. This title addresses these changes and asks questions about the ways in which technology is altering how music is performed, created and heard in the era of digital sound. This is not a book about using the Internet as a publicity or distribution tool, but a far more wide-ranging investigation into why we value sound, how we listen and how sound affects us at various levels of memory, physiology and environmental awareness.

Since 1995 he has released three solo albums, curated five compilation albums (including the soundtrack to Ocean of Sound), and the sound and music exhibition at the Hayward Gallery - ‘Sonic Boom’.
