76 reviewsBut music builds on itself. To those who think that mash-ups and sampling started with YouTube or the DJ’s turntables, it might be shocking to find that musicians have been borrowing – extensively borrowing – from each other since music began.
Then why try to stop that process? The reasons varied. Philosophy, religion, politics, race – again and again, race – and law.
And because music affects us so deeply, those struggles were passionate ones. They still are.
To understand this history fully, one has to roam wider still – into musical technologies from notation to the sample deck, aesthetics, the incentive systems that got musicians paid, and law’s 250 year struggle to assimilate music, without destroying it in the process.
Would jazz, soul or rock and roll be legal if they were reinvented today? We are not sure. Which as you will read, is profoundly worrying because today, more than ever, we need the arts.
All of this makes up our story. It is assuredly not the only history of music.
But it is definitely a part – and a fascinating part – of that history. We hope you like it.
