Perfecting Sound Forever by Greg Milner
Tells the story of recorded music from Thomas Edison's claim, in 1915, that he could perfectly capture the sound of a live performance, to the digital tools which create the illusion of performances that never were. This book describes the major achievements, breakthroughs and failures in sound technology.
'Greg Milner tells the story of recorded music with novelistic verve, ferocious attention to detail, and a soulful ambivalence about our quest for sonic perfectionHe shows how great recordings coe about not through advances in technology, but through a love of the art, and that same love is the motor of his prose.' Alex Ross, author of The Rest Is Noise
