[Commlist] new book: Music by Numbers

Thu Jan 07 17:22:56 GMT 2021



New book /Music by Numbers/, co-edited by Richard Osborne and Dave Laing, has recently been made available by Intellect: https://www.intellectbooks.com/music-by-numbers <https://www.intellectbooks.com/music-by-numbers>


Dave proposed the idea for a book addressing the use and abuse of statistics in the music industries at the first Working in Music conference, which took place in Glasgow in 2016. Richard put his name forwards to work with him and thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration. This is last book Dave worked on before his untimely death, which occurred two years ago today.


Richard is glad to say that /Music by Numbers/ includes chapters by Dave's friends, colleagues and admirers, and is thankful to them for their excellent work. Above all else, though, Richard would like to pay tribute to Dave for being such a phenomenal scholar and excellent person. He is sorely missed. Richard pasy tribute to him in the introduction to the book, which is available here for those who might be interested: https://www.academia.edu/44760726/Music_by_Numbers_The_Use_and_Abuse_of_Statistics_in_the_Music_Industries <https://www.academia.edu/44760726/Music_by_Numbers_The_Use_and_Abuse_of_Statistics_in_the_Music_Industries>
