New book builds on Huddersfield’s renown for music research

Description

A new book on the evolution of electronic music due to the increasing use of technology from leading music academics Professor Monty Adkins and Jøran Rudi has sprung out of the University of Huddersfield’s status as a global leader in music research.

The Routledge Handbook to Rethinking the History of Technology-Based Music emerged after the pair collaborated at the University’s Centre for Research in New Music (CeReNeM) during Jøran Rudi’s Leverhulme Professorship at Huddersfield.
