"Ce livre constitue la première approche de la musique vivante entendue comme un bien au sens économique du terme, ou plutôt comme la combinaison de différents biens (oeuvres, interprètes, salles, etc.) concourant à la production des concerts et des représentations. Au travers d'analyses à la fois historiques, juridiques et économiques, il permet de saisir le rôle de chacun au sein de cet écosystème, ainsi que leurs interactions et les mécanismes de fixation des prix. Les agences de concert, leur fonctionnement et leurs missions n'avaient jamais fait l'objet d'une étude de cette nature, qui prend également en compte leur rôle macroéconomique au niveau mondial. Enfin, l'ouvrage fait le point sur les grandes mutations que vit la musique vivante en ce début de siècle, tant en France, pays aux fortes singularités, qu'au niveau international. Écrit par un musicologue doté d'une expérience de près de vingt ans dans des entreprises musicales de premier plan, ce livre offre une approche innovante d'une question moins étudiée que les politiques culturelles ou l'économie de la musique enregistrée. En cela, il constitue un outil précieux pour l'étudiant ou l'universitaire qu'intéresse l'avenir de la musique dans sa forme représentée, mais aussi pour les professionnels (musiciens, agents, entrepreneurs de spectacles) auxquels il offre une vision détaillée et stratégique de leur environnement."--Page 4 de la couverture.

'Materialities' is a cultural history of song on the page. Concentrating on print in the early modern period, it approaches its topic via the French chanson, arguably the most broadly disseminated genre of polyphony in the sixteenth century. 'Materialities' is as much about how to study print culturally as it is about 'the music itself'. In this way it aligns with histories of the book by scholars such as Roger Chartier, adding a musical perspective to studies of print culture.

Selling Digital Music, Formatting Culture documents the transition of recorded music on CDs to music as digital files on computers. More than two decades after the first digital music files began circulating in online archives and playing through new software media players, we have yet to fully internalize the cultural and aesthetic consequences of these shifts. Tracing the emergence of what Jeremy Wade Morris calls the "digital music commodity," Selling Digital Music, Formatting Culture considers how a conflicted assemblage of technologies, users, and industries helped reformat popular music's meanings and uses. Through case studies of five key technologies-Winamp, metadata, Napster, iTunes, and cloud computing-this book explores how music listeners gradually came to understand computers and digital files as suitable replacements for their stereos and CD. Morris connects industrial production, popular culture, technology, and commerce in a narrative involving the aesthetics of music and computers, and the labor of producers and everyday users, as well as the value that listeners make and take from digital objects and cultural goods. Above all, Selling Digital Music, Formatting Culture is a sounding out of music's encounters with the interfaces, metadata, and algorithms of digital culture and of why the shifting form of the music commodity matters for the music and other media we love.
