About this book
Grounded in more than a decade of field research, this book uses empirical examples, quantitative data, and qualitative interviews with young music consumers as well as music industry professionals to understand how the platforms behind music production, distribution and listening work in our digital society. Bringing together the perspectives from science and technology studies, media studies, and the political economy of digital platforms, the book outlines the process of mutual construction between music digital platforms and the cultural value of music in today’s society, and also reflects on the complicated relationship between the power of platforms and the agency of listeners.
Reviews
"Magaudda and Bonini are two of the most prolific and thoughtful scholars on the topic of music and technology. In this book they provide insight into how streaming platforms are shaping music production and consumption cultures. This book will help us better grasp how we can intervene in creating a music ecosystem that benefits everyone.” (Robert Prey, Assistant Professor at the Center for Media and Journalism Studies, University of Groningen, Netherlands)
