Code, Networks, and the Transformation of the Music Industry

Edición de la obra Reformatted

Reformatted provides the most accurate and insightful account to date on the upheavals in the music industry over the past two decades. Leyshon traces music's economic geography from the bricks and mortar of recording studios to financial strategies, file-sharing, code and software struggles, and the muddy fields of festivals. Leyson demonstrates the value of using economic geography to understand historical shifts in music and media. He tracks the circulation of music in the age of software, mapping transformation in the Western recording industries as well as examining patterns of use and sharing. His keen attention to the politics of software as a particular moment in the history of media, as well as the changing configurations of finance, make this an essential read for anyone interested in what has happened--and will happen--to the recording industries.--Page [4] of cover.
