About the Book
The Digital Musician examines cultural awareness, artistic identity and musical skill through the prism of recent technological innovations. New technologies, and especially the new digital technologies, mean that anyone can create music without any musical training. How do we know what is good? This involves developing a personal aesthetic, an awareness of the context for one’s work, specific musical and technical abilities and an individual identity.Reviews
'Hugill's text, in keeping with his subject - the digitally networked, culturally savvy musician - reaches beyond the mere printed page through the inclusion of copious and wide-ranging listening examples, recommended further reading and creative projects... this book ticks all of the educational boxes replete with a wealth of resources to satisfy both the student and educator alike... one of the major strengths of this book is the author's lateral thinking and his almost virtuosic ability to draw together a wealth of technical and aesthetic ideas in order to illustrate his points... The Digital Musician is a highly stimulating book that asks of its readers as many questions as it attempts to answer. As such it is strongly recommended.' - Organised SoundTable of Contents
