ABOUT THIS SITE


This blog has been set up as part of the research for a book chapter Live or Memorex?

Live Music in Digital Culture
 is due for publication through Chandos Summer 2013

The chapter sought to capture the thoughts and opinions of musicians, sound-recordists, producers, and DJs with regard to the changing practices in relation to sound brought on by digitization.

Using social networking to invite any artists and producers interested in sharing their views they were subsequently directed to a simple questionnaire and asked to respond openly and honestly. 

In addition a number of sound-recordists, musicians and producers chose to contact the author directly and responded in this manner.

All these responses have been archived on this site.

The questions were:


What do you feel has been lost as we have moved to predominantly digital forms of recording?

What do you feel has been gained?

What do you feel has been lost as we have moved to predominantly digital forms of playing back / listening?

What do you feel has been gained?

What do you feel has been lost as we have moved to predominantly digital forms of performance / playing live/ DJ’ing?

What do you feel has been gained?

The author, Stephen Mallinder, would like to thank everyone who contributed to Live or Memorex? For their time and consideration.
