"""Denis Crowdy’s Code Musicology is a welcome addition to the fast-growing literature about digitalized music. Crowdy avoids getting bogged down in technical details in this well-written book, which usefully and intelligently demystifies how software code works in the increasing ubiquity of the digital world."" -- Timothy D. Taylor, University of California, Los Angeles “A book on code is a welcome addition to the Critical Perspectives on Music and Society series, where the code and related infrastructure behind the software omnipresent in our contemporary musical lives is analyzed and interrogated. The author’s argument for a code musicology is timely and valuable, and this approachable volume reframes the way technology, through code, is modulating music and the way we interact with it. It asks important questions for a future determined by code, where musicians and scholars will benefit from engagement with this very fundamental building block of contemporary culture.” -- Cat Hope, Monash University"
