Playing to the Crowd: Musicians, Audiences, and the Intimate Work of Connection Baym Nancy K.Paperback
Explains what happened to music--for both artists and fans--when music went online.Playing to the Crowd explores and explains how the rise of digital communication platforms has transformed artist-fan relationships into something closer to friendship or family. However, in today's networked era, musicians and fans have built more active relationships Through in-depth interviews with musicians such as Billy Bragg and Richie Hawtin, as well as members of the Cure, UB40, and Throwing Muses, Baym reveals how new media has facilitated these connections through the active, and often required, participation of the artists and their devoted, digital fan base.Before the rise of social sharing and user-generated content, fans were mostly seen as an undifferentiated and unidentifiable mass, often mediated through record labels and the press.
