Book excerpt: Media, Materiality and Memory examines the entwinement of material music objects, technology and memory in relation to a range of independent record labels. Moving from Edison's phonograph to digital music files, from record collections to online archives, Roy argues that materiality plays a crucial role in constructing and understanding the territory of recorded sound. A substantial contribution to the field of music and material culture studies, this book provides a nuanced and timely reflection on nostalgia and forgetting in the digital age.
