This unique book will introduce you to exciting new areas of music and spark new insights into the nature and pleasures of listening.
Besides providing an unusually wide-ranging, accessible survey of the landscape of music, and the various ways we listen, it features interviews with ten people deeply involved in the field – composers, singers, and sound specialists – working in popular, jazz, classical, experimental or global music. If you’re a listener who enjoys only some of those genres, this book can revolutionize your interest in them all.
