Inspired by the concept of "technoculture", they locate technology squarely in expressive culture. Moving from web to field, from Victorian parlour to 21st-century mall, the 15 essays gathered here seek to yield new insights regarding the intersection of local culture, musical creativity and technological possibilities. Inspired by the concept of "technoculture", the authors locate technology squarely in the middle of expressive culture: they are concerned with how technology culturally informs and infuses aspects of everyday life and musical experience, and they argue that this merger does not necessarily result in a "cultural grayout", but instead often produces exciting new possibilities. In this collection, we find evidence of musical practices and ways of knowing music that are informed or even significantly transformed by new technologies, yet remain profoundly local in style and meaning.
