Ubiquitous listening
Ubiquitous listening
In this chapter, I consider the question of listening to ubiquitous music--all those kinds of musics that we listen to secondarily, as accompaniment to some other primary activity-- with a particular focus on how music is imagined in ‘homes of the future’ at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Th e connections and differences between wearable computing and ubiquitous computing lead me to argue that new issues of how to define musical genres and how to conceive of listening, and even of the study of music itself, are raised by the pervasiveness of this kind of listening.
