Your Top Songs 2018: An Imaginary of co-creating Music Histories

Description

This paper deploys an interrogation into some of the peculiarities in the relationship between body and technology manifesting themselves in the digital consumption of music. It puts forth some preliminary reflections and discuss how an understanding, and a knowledge production, of music histories can be construed in particular ways through accessing music in digital music archives. Furthermore, it engages in a discussion of the validity of letting speculative and cultural theoretical approaches communicate with (digital) ethnographic approaches in order to dig out and highlight the problematic issues of doing music historiography in the wake of a digital consumption of music.
