[Commlist] New book: Virtual Music: Sound, Music, and Image in the Digital Era

New book, /Virtual Music: Sound, Music, and Image in the Digital Era 
/(Bloomsbury)

Now available as a paperback, hardback, and ebook.

/Virtual Music /explores the interactive relationship of sound, music, 
and image, and its users 
(creators/musicians/performers/audience/consumers). Areas involving the 
historical, technological, and creative practices of virtual music are 
surveyed including its connection with creators, musicians, performers, 
audience, and consumers. Shara Rambarran looks at the fascination and 
innovations surrounding virtual music, and illustrates key artists (such 
as Grace Jones, The Weeknd), creators (such as King Tubby, Kraftwerk, 
Madvillain, Danger Mouse), audiovisuals in video games and performances 
(such as /Cuphead /and Gorillaz), audiences, and consumers that 
contribute in making this musical experience a phenomenon. Whether it is 
interrogating the (un)realness of performers, modified identities of 
artists, technological manipulation of the internet, music industry and 
music production,  or accessible opportunities in creativity, the book 
offers a fresh understanding of virtual music and appeals to readers who 
have an interest in this digital revolution.

“This book is warmly recommended as a stimulating account of the ways in 
which music has been shaped by virtuality and digital technology.” Derek 
B. Scott, Professor of Critical Musicology, University of Leeds, UK

“This book is essential to anyone interested in the relationships 
between music, technology and other media.”  Serge Lacasse, Professor, 
Université Laval, Canada

“That wild, divisive moment—when folk and jazz ‘went electric’—finds a 
worthy remix (and one equally explosive, equally epochal) in this vital 
study.” Benjamin Halligan, Director of the Doctoral College, University 
of Wolverhampton, UK
