Cultural Production in and Beyond the Recording Studio

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Recording studios are the most insulated, intimate and privileged sites of music production and creativity. Yet in a world of intensified globalisation, they are also sites which are highly connected into wider networks of music production that are increasingly spanning the globe. This is the first comprehensive account of contemporary cultural production in the recording studio. This unique text develops new social-geographical perspectives on the spatialities and overlapping geographical scales of creative work, including chapters on technology, emotional labour, networking, and contemporary economic challenges to recording studios.
