Abstract

During the 25 years since the publication of my book, Any Sound You Can Imagine: Making Music/Consuming Technology, a number of technological developments and theoretical trends have emerged: among them, the integration of music production within Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) platforms, and the rise of social media as a means for information sharing among musicians, on the one hand; and the emergence, in popular music studies, of practice-based and community-oriented forms of music research and pedagogy, on the other. In addition, new technologies and applications of artificial intelligence (AI) have begun to have an impact on music-making and listening at every level. These developments are discussed in relation to theoretical issues of innovation, production, consumption and gender found in my previous work and, more specifically, in relation to concerns raised in a number of articles in the present volume, using them as a springboard for further reflection and theorizing.
