LMJ10 On-Line Supplemental Texts

The following materials are online supplements to the print journal:

"Alistair Riddell: Dave Reviews," by Carlos Palombini and Alistair Riddell
"The Ambivalence of Technology," by Ana Maria Rodriguez

For the end of the millennium we shift the focus away from technological music's traditionally Eurocentric domain and concentrate instead on contributions to modern music coming out of Africa and South America. Access to and attitudes toward technology shift radically with geography, causing both predictable and unexpected effects on the arts.

LMJ10 focuses on writing by residents of these continents who work with technology and music (composers of "serious" and/or "pop" music, recording engineers and producers, studio musicians, concert promoters, musicologists, etc.), as well as persons of any citizenship for whom Southern cultures have been musically significant.
