Abstract

This article takes a socio-anthropological approach to a range of essentially digital systems through which we currently experience music, concentrating on the listener and their use of listening devices (from the transistor radio and ghetto-blaster followed by the Walkman to mp3 players and telephones). In particular, it uses an ethnographic study on walking listeners, to combine an ecological approach to urban experiences and a pluralist listening model, based on a pragmatic epistemology of sound.
