About this Item

Neuware -Musik wird bestimmt von den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen ihrer Aufzeichnungs- und Verbreitungsformen. Keine 'Ode an die Freude' ohne Notenschrift, keine leisen Töne ohne Mikrofonie, keine Welthits ohne Radio. Im digitalen Zeitalter gilt das mehr denn je, sodass das Schaffen von Musiker innen mitunter nur mehr als Durchlauferhitzer für die Etablierung neuer Formate und Portale dient, die zur eigentlichen Show werden. Nie hat es so sehr gestimmt wie jetzt: Die Kanäle machen die Musik. Dieser Band folgt ihrer Macht als Definitionsmaschinen: in technischer, ökonomischer und künstlerischer Hinsicht, von Verwertungssystemen über digitale Unikate bis zum endlosen Flow von Lip-Sync-Videos.Music is defined by the possibilities and limits of the forms in which it is recorded and disseminated. There could be no 'Ode to Joy' without musical notation, no quiet sounds without microphones, no global hits without radio. In the digital age, this is more so than ever, with the result that the work of musicians sometimes serves more as a source of 'instant hot water' that can be siphoned off to establish new formats and portals that become the actual show. The situation today is unprecedented, with the channels now making the music. This book tracks their power as the engines defining music: in technical, economic, and artistic terms, ranging from recycling and processing systems and digital one-offs to the endless stream of lip sync videos.
