Sounds, Screens, Speakers provides a broadly comprehensive survey of the emerging field of music and media. Music has been present at the advent of neearly every media form since the turn of the twentieth century. Whether we look at the start of sound recording, film, televison, or the internet, music has been a crucial participant in the social changes brought about by these new tools for making and listening to music. This book examines such changes starting in the late nineteenth century and into the present. From the introduction of the microphone all the way through to music in reality television, the purpose of each section is not simply to move chronologically toward the present, but to focus especially on the tangible social relationships created through specific forms of mediation. With readings linked to each section, key questions to facilitate additional discovery and research, and direction to additional readings and resources on popular websites and new sources, this text serves as the ideal introduction to popular music and media. -- Provided by publisher.
