How is the creation, circulation, and consumption of music changing with its pervasive digital mediation? How are popular music producers adapting, and why are entrepreneurs in Nairobi more upbeat than those in Buenos Aires? Why has sound art emerged as a form in parallel with digital art musics? How can we make sense of live hacking practices and reversions to analogue music technologies? As yet we have only a nascent understanding of the profound transformations wrought by music’s digitization. In these lectures, anthropologist of music Georgina Born presents fresh insights drawn from a global program of ethnographic studies of digital music cultures in Argentina, Canada, Cuba, India, Kenya, the United Kingdom, and beyond.
