Book Synopsis Sound Streams by : Andrew J Bottomley
Download or read book Sound Streams written by Andrew J Bottomley and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In talking about contemporary media, we often use a language of newness, applying words like “revolution” and “disruption.” Yet, the emergence of new sound media technologies and content—from the earliest internet radio broadcasts to the development of algorithmic music services and the origins of podcasting—are not a disruption, but a continuation of the century-long history of radio. Today’s most innovative media makers are reintroducing forms of audio storytelling from radio’s past. Sound Streams is the first book to historicize radio-internet convergence from the early ’90s through the present, demonstrating how so-called new media represent an evolutionary shift that is nevertheless historically consistent with earlier modes of broadcasting. Various iterations of internet radio, from streaming audio to podcasting, are all new radio practices rather than each being a separate new medium: radio is any sound media that is purposefully crafted to be heard by an audience. Rather than a particular set of technologies or textual conventions, web-based broadcasting combines unique practices and features and ideas from radio history. In addition, there exists a distinctive conversationality and reflexivity to radio talk, including a propensity for personal stories and emotional disclosure, that suits networked digital media culture. What media convergence has done is extend and intensify radio’s logics of connectivity and sharing; sonically mediated personal expression intended for public consideration abounds in online media networks. Sound Streams marks a significant contribution to digital media and internet studies. Its mix of cultural history, industry research, and genre and formal analysis, especially of contemporary audio storytelling, will appeal to media scholars, radio and podcast practitioners, audio journalism students, and dedicated podcast fans.

Book Synopsis Popular Music in a Digital Music Economy by : Tim J. Anderson
Download or read book Popular Music in a Digital Music Economy written by Tim J. Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1990s, the MP3 became the de facto standard for digital audio files and the networked computer began to claim a significant place in the lives of more and more listeners. The dovetailing of these two circumstances is the basis of a new mode of musical production and distribution where new practices emerge. This book is not a definitive statement about what the new music industry is. Rather, it is devoted to what this new industry is becoming by examining these practices as experiments, dedicated to negotiating what is replacing an "object based" industry oriented around the production and exchange of physical recordings. In this new economy, constant attention is paid to the production and licensing of intellectual property and the rise of the "social musician" who has been encouraged to become more entrepreneurial. Finally, every element of the industry now must consider a new type of audience, the "end user", and their productive and distributive capacities around which services and musicians must orient their practices and investments.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Mobile Music Studies by : Sumanth Gopinath
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Mobile Music Studies written by Sumanth Gopinath and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two volumes of The Oxford Handbook of Mobile Music Studies consolidate an area of scholarly inquiry that addresses how mechanical, electrical, and digital technologies and their corresponding economies of scale have rendered music and sound increasingly mobile-portable, fungible, and ubiquitous. At once a marketing term, a common mode of everyday-life performance, and an instigator of experimental aesthetics, "mobile music" opens up a space for studying the momentous transformations in the production, distribution, consumption, and experience of music and sound that took place between the late nineteenth and the early twenty-first centuries. Taken together, the two volumes cover a large swath of the world-the US, the UK, Japan, Brazil, Germany, Turkey, Mexico, France, China, Jamaica, Iraq, the Philippines, India, Sweden-and a similarly broad array of the musical and nonmusical sounds suffusing the soundscapes of mobility. Volume 1 provides an introduction to the study of mobile music through the examination of its devices, markets, and theories. Conceptualizing a long history of mobile music extending from the late nineteenth century to the present, the volume focuses on the conjunction of human mobility and forms of sound production and reproduction. The volume's chapters investigate the MP3, copyright law and digital downloading, music and cloud computing, the iPod, the transistor radio, the automated call center, sound and text messaging, the mobile phone, the militarization of iPod usage, the cochlear implant, the portable sound recorder, listening practices of schoolchildren and teenagers, the ringtone, mobile music in the urban soundscape, the boombox, mobile music marketing in Mexico and Brazil, music piracy in India, and online radio in Japan and the US.
Download or read book Radio 2.0 written by Matthew Lasar and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the uncertain world of "Radio 2.0"—where podcasts, mobile streaming, and huge music databases are the new reality, as are tweeting deejays and Apple's Siri serving as music announcer—and understand the exciting status this medium has, and will continue to have, in our digitally inclined society. How did popular radio in past decades—from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats" in the 1930s through Top 40 music and Rush Limbaugh's talk radio empire—shape American society? How did devices and systems like the iPhone, Pandora, and YouTube turn the radio industry upside-down? Does radio still have a future, and if so, what will we want it to look like? Radio 2.0: Uploading the First Broadcast Medium covers the history and evolution of Internet radio, explaining what came before, where Internet radio came from, and where it is likely headed. It also gives readers a frame of reference by describing radio from its introduction to American audiences in the 1920s—a medium that brought people together through a common experience of the same broadcast—and shows how technologies like digital music and streaming music services put into question the very definition of "radio." By examining new radio and media technologies, the book explores an important societal trend: the shift of media toward individualized or personalized forms of consumption.
Book Synopsis Willful Blindness by : Margaret Heffernan
Download or read book Willful Blindness written by Margaret Heffernan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With deft prose and page after page of keen insights, Heffernan shows why we close our eyes to facts that threaten our families, our livelihood, and our self-image--and, even better, she points the way out of the darkness.” --Daniel H. Pink In the tradition of Malcolm Gladwell and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Margaret Heffernan's Willful Blindness is a tour de force on human behavior that will open your eyes. Why, after every major accident and blunder, do we look back and say, How could we have been so blind? Why do some people see what others don't? And how can we change? Drawing on studies by psychologists and neuroscientists, and from interviews with business leaders, whistleblowers, and white collar criminals, distinguished businesswoman and writer Margaret Heffernan examines the phenomenon of willful blindness, exploring the reasons that individuals and groups are blind to impending personal tragedies, corporate collapses, engineering failures-even crimes against humanity. We turn a blind eye in order to feel safe, to avoid conflict, to reduce anxiety, and to protect prestige. But greater understanding leads to solutions, and Heffernan shows how-by challenging our biases, encouraging debate, discouraging conformity, and not backing away from difficult or complicated problems-we can be more mindful of what's going on around us and be proactive instead of reactive.
Book Synopsis Providing Actionable Recommendations by : Paul Marx
Download or read book Providing Actionable Recommendations written by Paul Marx and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recommender systems (RS) are intended to assist consumers by making choices from a large scope of items. By recommending items with a high likelihood of suiting a consumer's needs or preferences, they are able to considerably mitigate the information overload problem at the user's side, thus increasing their trust in, satisfaction with, and loyalty to RS providers, such as online shops, internet music catalogs, and online DVD rental services. However, recommendations are prone to errors and often fail to address consumers' context specific needs. Explanations of the underlying reasons behind recommendations can allow users to handle algorithmic errors in recommendations and to better judge their suitability for the users' current decision contexts, thus increasing the choice efficiency and effectiveness. The latter, in turn, increases the users' acceptance of and satisfaction with RS, as well as it positively affects consumers' trust in, loyalty to, and credibility of RS providers. However, in order for these benefits of explanation facilities to surface, they should explain the recommendations in such terms that the consumers themselves use when evaluating their choices. The latter sets restrictions upon recommendation algorithms constraining them with respect to how recommendations should be produced and what information they should rely on. This interaction between RS and explanation facilities, however, was not covered by recent research on RS. Therefore, the aim of the current thesis is to narrow this gap and to develop a recommendation technique that accounts for the concurrent objectives of RS, i. e., a method which is capable of providing both accurately predicted recommendations and actionable explanations of the reasons behind them, so that the recommendation process is aligned with the user preference structures.
