Live Wires explores how five key electronic technologies revolutionized music.
'The writing is easy to read, knowledgeable without being painfully esoteric. . This is a wonderful guide through a still-evolving phenomenon and one that now, more than ever, deserves our attention.'-Spectrum Culture; 'A good introduction to the artistic aims and means of an ever-expanding sound world, and – from Varèse to Blondie to Squarepusher to DJ Shadow – makes for an invigorating and nostalgic playlist.'-BBC Music Magazine; 'A sonic adventure well worth reading.'-Leonardo; 'Definitely best consumed whilst imbibing his excellent chapter of recommended listening.'-Shindig; 'If we dare mention Christmas, this book would make a perfect stocking filler for Electronica fans… oh, right. Yes, that’s you. Self-gift?'-Electrowow; 'There can’t really be two ways to say this: Dan Warner’s Live Wires is a good book. Dan Warner’s intimately experiential/technical descriptions of his favorite instances of every kind and genre of electronic music in the experimental culture – a culture that almost obliterated the boundaries between “classical” and “pop” – will get you right inside of his sensitively perceptive ear and his deep knowledge and understanding of the sense and implication of what he has, and you will, come to hear.'-Benjamin Boretz, composer
