Description

This book explores how digital media are transforming our understanding of musicality, creativity, play, and participation. Through ethnographic case studies, Kiri Miller examines how people engage with interactive digital media to learn music and perform.

Miller shows how video games, social media, and online music lessons are bridging virtual and visceral experience, creating dispersed communities who forge meaningful connections through popular culture. The book reveals the embodied knowledge that is transmitted through these digital platforms.

The result is a nuanced understanding of how our everyday experiences with interactive digital media are changing the way we think about music, performance, and participation.
