"Where is the academic study of music today, and what paths should it take into the future? Should we be looking at how music relates to society and constructs meaning through it, rather than how it transcends the social? Can we 'remix' our discipline and attempt to address all musics on an equal basis, without splitting ourselves in advance into subgroups of 'musicologists', 'theorists', and 'ethnomusicologists'? These are some of the crucial issues that Nicholas Cook has raised since he emerged in the 1990's as one of the UK's leading and most widely-read voices in critical musicology. In this book, collaborators and former students of Cook pursue these questions, and others raised by his work--from notation, historiography, and performance to the place of music in multimedia forms such as virtual reality and video games, analysing both how it can bring people together and the ways in which it has failed to do so"--

Arvustused

"If anyone deserves this kind of Festschrift it's Nick Cook, whose work--provocative and inspiring--is seminal to present day thought about music."

- Lawrence Kramer, Distinguished Professor of English and Music, Fordham University

"This collection of essays serves as a splendid tribute to Nick Cook, revealing the widespread influence his work has had on so many diverse aspects of the study of music. The authors engage spiritedly not only with Cooks ideas on the production, performance, and theory of music in relation to traditional practices and multimedia technologies, but also respond to the social and ethical concerns that characterize his work."

- Derek B. Scott, Professor of Critical Musicology, University of Leeds

"This is a wonderful collection that offers a rich contribution to the field. The chapters take Cooks work as a starting point, and work, play, or move with the models he has developed in highly productive ways."

Freya Jarman, Reader in Music, University of Liverpool
