Episode 109: Authors Eliot Bates & Samantha Bennett on their book, Gear: Cultures of Audio and Music Technologies
Hosted by Larry Crane
EPISODE DETAILS
A handful of years ago, I was interviewed for a book about recording equipment and how we interact with it. That book, Gear: Cultures of Audio and Music Technologies [Tape Op #168], is out now via MIT Press, and I gathered up its authors, Eliot Bates & Samantha Bennett, to discuss the origins of this study, what they learned along the way, and what people's relationships to recording gear might be in the future. Enjoy!
