The Oxford Handbook of Mobile Music Studies, Volume 2
Edited by Sumanth Gopinath and Jason Stanyek
Abstract
This volume investigates the ramifications of mobile music devices and technologies on musical/sonic performance and aesthetics. It thinks together artistic production with the performances of quotidian life and argues that “mobility” is not the same thing as actual “movement,” demonstrating that mobile performance concerns the perception or signification of mobility rather than movement per se. The volume’s chapters investigate the mobilization of frequency range, sound vehicles, gestural choreographies, dance and dance music, popular music production, video games, and musical instruments and ensembles. Many of this volume’s chapters, however, do not fall neatly into any single category and instead incorporate a number of different perspectives and orientations.
