| Summary |
"With the explosive growth of the World Wide Web has come a new world of cyber music, and with it, seemingly unlimited artistic possibilities. [The book] chronicles the development of interactive sound and music, from its beginnings in the early twentieth century to cell phones and iTunes. This history includes composer and musician William Duckworth's own story - the creation of "Cathedral", one of the first interactive works of music and art on the Web. From file sharing and nanotechnology to Brian Eno and Moby, Duckworth examines the complex, and at times controversial, new musical world presently developing online." -Back cover |
