Rowell David - The Endless Refrain Memory Nostalgia And The Threat To New Music - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: In The Endless Refrain former Washington Post writer and editor David Rowell goes deep into the psychology of the average listener - as well as the algorithms that function as today's tastemakers - to explore the devastating effects of technology run amok on musicians and fans alike. Making an incisive analysis of the economic and technological forces behind the rise of streaming services like Spotify and i Tunes Rowell examines how contemporary currents of music consumption and production shut the doors on the organic creation of new music and trapped us in a whirlpool of repetition and stale nostalgia. Combining personal memoir interviews industry research and good old - fashioned critical passion Rowell's book is a pungent indictment of a music culture gone awry crippled by nostalgia and subverted by the sinister hive minds of the internet.
