Description

Music and Technology: A Very Short Introduction by Mark Katz explores the intricate relationship between music and technology. This book takes an expansive approach to understanding music and its tools, encompassing all devices used to create, store, reproduce, and transmit music - from ancient instruments to modern digital playback devices. Mark Katz challenges traditional views of music and technology, arguing that technology is an integral part of all musical activity. The author examines various aspects of music-making, including instruments, engraving and printing, sound recording and playback, broadcasting, software, and more. By considering the role of technology in music, Katz sheds new light on how our understanding of music has evolved over time. This book provides a broad perspective on music and technology, encouraging readers to think about the complex interplay between these two seemingly disparate fields.
