| Summary |
In one of the first ethnographies of contemporary studio music production, author Eliot Bates investigates the emergence of a transnational market for Anatolian minority popular musics in the Turkish music industry. With its unique interdisciplinary approach, 'Digital Tradition' sets a new standard for the study of recorded music |

"Digital Tradition: Arrangement and Labor in Istanbul’s Recording Studio Culture is a study of the recording and production of traditional music in Istanbul. Istanbul is home to a multimillion dollar transnational music industry that supplies global demand for Turkish, Kurdish, Lazuri, and other Anatolian ethnic language productions. Every year, many of the largest production budgets, top 100-selling CDs, and widely distributed film and TV show soundtracks consist of elaborately orchestrated arrangements of folk songs with origins in rural Anatolia. This book is an ethnography of recording studio work, of arrangers and engineers, studio musicianship, and digital audio workstation kinesthetics--and of the production of a digital tradition. To make sense of studio work, the book adapts theories and methods from science and technology studies, ethnomusicology, and interdisciplinary studies of sensoriums and bodily pedagogies. This case study into the micropractices of work and cultural production, supplemented with archival research into the state management of cultural practices during the early Turkish Republic, suggests new approaches to the study of tradition, nationalism, and music in Turkey."--Publisher's description |
