"A fine and timely study. There is no other text offering a
sustained analysis of the social conditions of technological
innovation in the design of music technologies. Astute and
remarkably pleasurable to read."--Andrew Goodwin
"What starts out as an investigation of a surprisingly neglected
aspect of popular music studies--the technology of music
making--ends up as a far reaching meditation on Western music
history and culture. Any Sound You Can Imagine is obviously a major
contribution to cultural sociology: on almost every page it raises
fascinating and important questions about what musicians do, what
music means, and what listeners want."--Simon Frith
