Description
Sonic Technologies explores how digital technologies have transformed popular music and digital culture over the past two decades. From multimillion-selling pop records to ubiquitous remixes, new music production technologies have had a profound impact on creativity. The book examines how contemporary creative practice is shaped by recording technologies such as Digital Audio Workstations. Using a range of examples from experimental electronic music to mainstream genres, it looks at how musicians and cultural producers are using these tools to produce and distribute their work. By understanding the visual and sonic look and feel of recording technologies, Sonic Technologies sheds light on the ways in which creativity is being redefined in the digital age.
