The Ghost in the Machine will focus on recent research and analysis into the diverse ways in which technological change has and continues to affect the meaning and experience of music in the long twentieth century.

We’ll all be more innovative if we participate in collaborative webs and share more openly. Creativity is always a collaboration and it’s always a form of improvisation, written large in the social world.
