The Detroit electronic music (DEM) community is a group of urban residents who, since the 1980s, have used new technologies in music production as well as changing communications technologies to create a transnational arts community. This article is a result of ethnographic research of the DEM community conducted from 1999 to 2007 and is focussed on the city's biggest independent distribution company, Submerge. The phrase “electronic music” refers to both house and techno music. Techno music and house music are African American music genres created in Detroit and Chicago respectively during the early 1980s. Recent concerns in the field of American studies – transnationalism, community collaboration, issues of technology and global communication – can be seen in a group of urban residents who have been exploring similar issues, in some cases by necessity, for the past three decades. It is important for the study of American urban places to include a clear picture of heterogeneous urban populations in places of crisis. With a richer idea of what life is really like in cities in crisis, we can better plan, develop, and encourage urban revitalization.

Video Performance

Revisión sobre las posibilidades de la Performance con la aparición en su momento de nuevas tecnologías, como la fotografía, el vídeo o las tecnologías de comunicación como Internet, ha hecho posible que una acción perdure más allá del momento de su realización, constituyendo un fondo documental, pero con la duda de si la reacción que provoca es diferente o no a la que provocó en aquel instante y, además, al cuestionamiento de la importancia tanto del tiempo como del espacio en la realización de la Performance. Lo incuestionable es que en el momento actual son muchas las performances que se realizan pensadas en exclusiva para la cámara y/o su exhibición en redes sociales de comunicación, dando lugar a la aparición de la video-performance, la foto-performance o la teleperformance. Review of the possibilities of Performance with the appearance, at the time, of new technologies such as photography, video and communications technologies like the Internet, has made it possible that an action will last beyond the time of its completion , constituting a documentary background. It also questions the importance of both time and space in the realization of the Performance. The unquestionable is that at present there are many performances there are many performances that are exclusively designed for the camera and / or the display in social communication networks, leading to the appearance of the video-performance , photo- performance or teleperformance .

The Impact

E-learning and the impact of new technologies across contemporary life is a very significant field to education. The challenge of the technology to conventional learning patterns cannot be ignored and in itself raises a host of questions: can online learning facilitate deep learning? How well does video conferencing alleviate the challenge of distance? In what ways can collaborative learning communities be developed and sustained using current and new technologies? At the same time, new communications technologies are impacting on the ways in which we understand ourselves and the worlds in which we live. Relating to this, the aim of today’s education is not to learn certain contents, but rather learn to learn in the course of a whole lifetime. The study of the learning process can help us to find the relevant points to set up some interesting characteristics of a really functional e-learning system.

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that today the digital economy determines that the market leaders are determined not by a longterm success story, not by the value of real estate and assets, not by the number of patents or access to capital, but by the ability to change and adapt their business to new conditions. Digital technologies, which have emerged over the past decade, help to find sources of increased efficiency and opportunities for rapid competitive development of enterprises. At the same time, they demand to change the existing management models, reformat communications, technologies and the organizational structure of enterprises based on new values, priorities and guidelines based on partnership, customer focus, innovation and synergy. Today's global manufacturing landscape is changing rapidly. The current technological development and the development of big data allow managers to better understand their activities. Big data provides companies with huge opportunities to improve their performance. Industry 4.0 and the Internet make it possible to create intelligent factories where machines and networks are able to exchange and respond to information, as well as independently manage the production process. Recently, the Russian Government has been advocating a new production concept, namely redistributed production, which uses a number of new technologies, such as 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and big data, to provide numerous advantages over existing systems. As such, businesses will need to adapt to changing data usage patterns to operate effectively in the growing digital age.

The projects in this chapter introduce MIDI recording, sequencing, and editing techniques for composition and songwriting. The projects include strategies for enabling students to quickly generate a large amount of original musical material quickly. Beginner songwriters and composers find empty DAW sessions to be daunting, so it is essential to build their confidence. Therefore, the chapter gives techniques for quickly generating melodic and drum sequences, duplicating them, and creating variations on them. This approach also has the benefit of mirroring “real-world” professional production practice. The projects cover drum programming and arranging, as well as writing chord sequences, basslines, and short melodies. A pragmatic instrument taxonomy of “drums” and “not-drums” is used, and the typical instrumental layers in contemporary electronic music genres are explained. Also presented is a practical approach to relevant music theory concepts. Finally, three popular genres—future bass, house music, and trap—are used to introduce musical form.

Abstract The demand for internet access and data transfer is the key driver of mobile communications technologies. The next step is wireless real-time networking. The “Tactile Internet” demands completely new technologies. Low latency, short response times, high reliability and resilience, a network of edge clouds and security are basic requirements. Therefore, 5G is developed. Novel use cases are industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, e-health, and the Internet of Things. For agriculture, 5G is a crucial technology enabler for robotization and Smart Farming processes. Agriculture needs own ad-hoc radio network solutions to efficiently provide coverage and manage data transfer, privacy and flexibility. The synergy of cellular and local mesh communications can solve the problem of unreliable communication and allows farmers to take full control of their data.

This article examines key issues in how new technologies are impacting upon how we teach, learn and collaborate, and uses an educational research project called GRAIL (Graduate Researcher's Academic Identity Online) under development to illustrate some fundamental issues in adopting new technologies. A significant challenge to the effective use of new technologies in education is the evolution of social practices around those technologies and the discrepancies between broader social uses of new technologies and how those same technologies can be used in educational contexts. The article describes challenges to design along the dimensions of public/private and individual/collaborative and uses data from a series of project research studies to illustrate the nature of these challenges and possible solutions. The taking up of new technologies in new ways requires the evolution of social practices of use – these practices simultaneously reflect and change our culture, and the evolution of such processes takes time.

Production Techniques

Over the past twenty years, the field of popular music studies has significantly enhanced our understanding of pop music production. Studies have drawn from a range of industry discussions to explore, for example, the ways in which emergent technologies have led to distinctive production techniques and the important role that recording technologies play in shaping the sound of pop music. Whereas many industry discussions have provided productive sites of analysis, they can also obstruct research in some respects. This article focuses on an area of music production where such industrial discussions tend to hinder, rather than enhance, an understanding of its practices. It examines the ways in which industry discussions position the process of mastering as “mysterious.” This article argues representations of mastering as “mysterious” work to reinforce the importance of this practice and also safeguard it from new technologies that might challenge its dominance. These representations can function to reproduce and secure social hierarchies within the field.

AbstractRecent popular music and film studies have revealed the political functions of documentaries about musicians. These studies suggest that such documentaries make powerful interventions into the field of music production as they construct the value of their subjects and their work. Owing to the expense and complexity of broadcast equipment, production companies have tended to favour documentaries about artists and work considered to be popular and historically significant. Over the past 15 years, however, new technologies have allowed musicians to make documentaries themselves, which they can release at the same time as their song or album. Using the example of Gotye and his album Making Mirrors, this article argues that these developments have led to powerful and distinct interventions into debates and themes within home music production for independent musicians. It also argues that the use of this technology on social media platforms challenges the relationships between text and process.
