How do keyboards make music playable? Drawing on theories of media, systems, and cultural techniques, Keys to Play spans Greek myth and contemporary Japanese digital games to chart a genealogy of musical play and its animation via improvisation, performance, and recreation. As a paradigmatic digital interface, the keyboard forms a field of play on which the book's diverse objects of inquiry—from clavichords to PCs and eighteenth-century musical dice games to the latest rhythm-action titles—enter into analogical relations. Remapping the keyboard's topography by way of Mozart and Super Mario, who head an expansive cast of historical and virtual actors, Keys to Play invites readers to unlock ludic dimensions of music that are at once old and new.

General explanation of the keyboard and its principal technology. Production/marketing status in foreign countries and in Taiwan. (Economische Voorlichtingsdienst)

Ob als Oper, Musical, dramatische Montage oder historisches Pastiche: Performative Zugänge zur Musikgeschichtsschreibung bringen Geschichte auf die Bühne. Dazu stellen sie Verbindungen zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart her und arbeiten mit Klängen, historischem Material oder etablierten Bildern von Künstler*innen. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes fragen danach, wie Musikgeschichte auf der Bühne erzählt, komponiert, inszeniert und verkörpert wird: Was zeichnet diese intermediale Form der Musikhistoriographie aus? Wie verhält sie sich zur Geschichtsschreibung in anderen Medien? Und welche narrativen Strategien und Praktiken, welche Geschichtsbilder prägen Musikgeschichten auf der Bühne?

"In this book, Timothy D. Taylor explores just how pervasively capitalism has shaped music over the last few decades. Examining changes in the production, distribution, and consumption of music, he offers an incisive critique of the music industry's shift in focus from creativity to profits, as well as stories of those who are laboring to find and make musical meaning in the shadows of the mainstream cultural industries. Taylor explores everything from the branding of musicians to the globalization of music to the emergence of digital technologies in music production and consumption. Drawing on interviews with industry insiders, musicians, and indie label workers, he traces both the constricting forces of bottom-line economics and the revolutionary emergence of the affordable home studio, the global internet, and the mp3 that have shaped music in different ways. A sophisticated analysis of how music is made, repurposed, advertised, sold, pirated, and consumed, Music and Capitalism is a must read for anyone who cares about what they are listening to, how, and why"--Provided by publisher
