Sinopsis

Discourse on popular music frequently describes artists? recordings and performances as 'intimate.' Yet that discourse often stops short of elucidating how a mass-produced commodity such as popular music is able to elicit feelings of intimacy with and among its audience. Through detailed analysis of popular music?s composition, performance, production, and promotion, Musical Intimacyexamines how intimacy is constructed and perceived in popular music via its affective and technological affordances. From the recording studio to the concert stage, from collective experience to individual listening and perception, this book presents a working understanding of musical intimacy.
