Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This dissertation is a study of musical instruments in 1960s popular music organized around the theme of electrification. New electrical technologies for tone production, timbral modulation, and amplification prompted radical shifts in the instrumentation used in the popular music of this period, leading musicians to borrow instruments from other cultures, such as the harpsichord and sitar, and to engage novel technologies, including synthesizers and effect pedals. Nonetheless, electricity became a ubiquitous feature of popular music rather late relative to other domains, such as domestic appliances and transportation. The adoption of electrification, like any new technology, is based on a balance of both technical considerations and social contexts. Why did electricity come to feature prominently in the production of popular music when it did and in the ways that it did? My principal objective with this project, then, is to account for the various socio-cultural agents responsible for the eventual widespread availability of electrical instrument technologies (including instrument designers, manufacturers, and retailers), the diverse sounds arising from their use in the hands of amateur and professional musicians, as well as the myriad meanings ascribed to them by musicians, critics, and fans alike. In order to account for the sounds, techniques, and gestures that emerged as a result of this process of electrification, I develop an interdisciplinary musicological perspective informed by studies of technology and genre." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive and fascinating account of electrical and electronics history Much of the infrastructure of today's industrialized world arose in the period from the outbreak of World War I to the conclusion of World War II. It was during these years that the capabilities of traditional electrical engineering—generators, power transmission, motors, electric lighting and heating, home appliances, and so on—became ubiquitous. Even more importantly, it was during this time that a new type of electrical engineering—electronics—emerged. Because of its applications in communications (both wire-based and wireless), entertainment (notably radio, the phonograph, and sound movies), industry, science and medicine, and the military, the electronics industry became a major part of the economy. Dawn of the Electronic Age?explores how this engineering knowledge and its main applications developed in various scientific, economic, and social contexts, and explains how each was profoundly affected by electrical technologies. It takes an international perspective and a narrative approach, unfolding the story chronologically. Though a scholarly study (with sources of information given in endnotes for engineers and historians of science and technology), the book is intended for the general public.?Ultimately, it tells the story of the development of a new realm of engineering and its widespread applications during the remarkable and tragic period of two world wars and the decades in between.

Book excerpt: Bassett (history, North Carolina State U.) combines corporate and technological history in his examination of the development and propagation of the metal- oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor, the backbone of digital electronics. One of the primary questions the study addresses is how organizational leadership contributes to the ability to successfully adapt to technological change. The focus is on the operations of Fairchild Semiconductor, Intel, and IBM. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Book excerpt: In the age of digital music it seems striking that so many of us still want to produce music concretely with our bodies, through the movement of our limbs, lungs and fingers, in contact with those materials and objects which are capable of producing sounds. The huge sales figures of musical instruments in the global market, and the amount of time and effort people of all ages invest in mastering the tools of music, make it clear that playing musical instruments is an important phenomenon in human life. By combining the findings made in music psychology and performative ethnomusicology, Marko Aho shows how playing a musical instrument, and the pleasure musicians get from it, emerges from an intimate dialogue between the personally felt body and the sounding instrument. An introduction to the general aspects of the tactile resources of musical instruments, musical style and the musician is followed by an analysis of the learning process of the regional kantele style of the Perho river valley in Finnish Central Ostrobothnia.
