Mark Katz Considers Music and Technology

Mark Katz, who contributed an essay on the pathologies of record collecting for the catalogue that accompanies the exhibition The Record, recently released a revised second edition of his book Capturing Sound: How Technology Has Changed Music (available from the University of California Press). The new edition comes only six years after the first edition, but takes account of a number of musical platforms which have arisen in the past six years such as YouTube, iTunes, Pandora and MySpace. We asked Mark about the new book and how he envisions the future of music.
