Creativity and Innovation in the Music Industry

by Peter Tschmuck

This book charts the effects of new communication technologies and the Internet on the creation of music in the early 21st century. It examines how the music industry will be altered by the Internet, music online services and MP3-technology. This is done through an integrated model based on an international history of the industry since the phonograph’s invention in 1877, and thus, the history of the music industry is described in full detail for the first time.

Historically, technically, culturally enriching and impressive. Precision and comprehensiveness are delivered without compromise. Research made simple but not watered down. Perfect.
