Reviews
A surprisingly good read, with a depth and coherence... Pays attention to both sound production and sound recording, as well as economic and social factors that have shaped the 20th century music industry... This is a very strong collection written by leading researchers in the field. -- Mark Clark ICON, The Journal of the International Committee for the History of Technology An eclectic exploration of the relationship between electronics and music... The book covers fascinating and unusual ground, invoking artists as diverse as Orpheus and Guitar Slim to Fritz Kreisler, Conlon Nancarrow, and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Electronic Musician This much-needed collection of critical essays addresses sound art from many new and interesting perspectives... Braun did a nice job of bringing together these 17 very strong and personal voices, which in the end make for good, thought-provoking reading. -- Chris Cobb Leonardo Reviews
