Sound Work: Composition as Critical Technical Practice



English | ISBN: ‎ 9462702586 , 978-9462702585 | 376 pages | True PDF | 18 MB

The practices and perception of music creation have evolved with the cultural, social and technological contexts of music and musicians.

However, cultural imperatives to account for composition as knowledge production and to make claims for its uniqueness inhibit the development of discourse in both expert and public spheres. Internet pioneer Philip Agre observed a discourse deficit in artificial intelligence research and proposed a critical technical practice, a single disciplinary field with "one foot planted in the craft work of design and the other foot planted in the reflexive work of critique. A critical technical practice rethinks its own premises, re-evaluates its own methods, and reconsiders its own concepts as a routine part of its daily work."
