Kurzbeschreibung
A musical travel diary, recording the way people work with and experience sound in the 21st century. From the author of "Ocean Of Sound".
Synopsis
Digital technology has changed the ways in which music is perceived, stored, distributed, mediated and created. Contemporary sound work addresses memories, sensations and reactions directly, sometimes offering solutions or insights and sometimes making it all worse. Meanwhile, a torrent of CDs and MP3s floods over systems of marketing and distribution already on the point of collapse. Many of these changes seem too new, or too subtle, to understand fully, let alone explain. This title addresses these changes and asks questions about the ways in which technology is altering how music is performed, created and heard in the era of digital sound. This is not a book about using the Internet as a publicity or distribution tool, but a far more wide-ranging investigation into why we value sound, how we listen and how sound affects us at various levels of memory, physiology and environmental awareness.

Fresh, thoughtful and stimulating
1. April 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Rather than argue a thesis, Toop's style is the chase down a thread of meaning via the points at which various thoughts and anecdotes cross over. This perfectly suits the nature of his subject matter- the vast, largely uncharted terrain of non-genre-based music, for which a dominant narrative and vocabulary do not yet exist as with, say, rock 'n roll or classical.
The book meditates on, among other things, the boundary between performer and audience, environmental sound and music, improviser and composer, and the role of digital technology in mediating or enhancing these distinctions.
As a journeyman music writer, critic and musician, Toop has spent a lot of his time travelling. This seems to inform his writing style as he is constantly in motion, moving quickly between personal recollections, excerpts from correspondence with diverse musicians, and lengthy quotes from various topically obscure yet philosophically related texts.
These (non-)random stop-overs make the book a slow read, as the reader is left to do a lot of the piecing together. Yet this is part of the pleasure to be found in Toop's writing- like a brilliant but challenging piece of music, the book offers an experience in which the mind of the reader is engaged as more than just a passive receptor of received ideas and emotion.

big ideas spoken in a quiet voice
30. September 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Beautiful, challenging and nourishing.
I read this upon its UK release in July and still find myself dwelling upon some of the ideas raised. Reading it challenged me to use my ears afresh, and to think about what music can be.
