TECHNOLOGY-HUMAN RELATIONSHIP AND THE INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGY ON GUIDING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
Abstract
Man’s relationship with technique starts with his
will to exist and lead a better life. Therefore, as people become more
socialized, their effort to improve the existing techniques in professions in
every aspect of life is clearly observed. The field of music has a similar kind
of relationship with technique as well. As the improvements in the music
technology have helped the music industry progress, the improvements in the
recording technology in particular have paved the way for changes in the music
appreciation. Thus, the difference between the analogue and digital recording
periods should not be solely discussed in terms of technology. This difference
should also be considered as a historical critical point which allowed new
types of music to emerge. This change is observed in various areas such as the
production of music or the spread of it in the music market. This study focuses
on the general effect of music related technical improvements on music, and it
aims at explaining the change that has arisen and been observed from the
production of music to the spread of it. While the effects of the improvements
in the music industry are analysed in various dimensions, aesthetic and
sociological improvements brought about by the changes in the recording
technologies will be reviewed from a historical perspective.
