Overview
- Provides a new and innovative angle on the controversies and conflicts generated with the emergence of cultures and practices of music-making associated with new music-making technologies
- Theoretically and conceptually innovative, being the first work that applies an object biography and life history approach to reused musical sounds
- Enlists a broad range of illustrative examples of interest to musical scholars and music enthusiasts. This includes record collecting; beat making and sampling; curating music at both an institutional level (Smithsonian Folkways), independent label level, and in personal collections; and, reissuing records
- Offers broad appeal to a diverse audience – both academic and those interested in music cultures more broadly
