Reviews for Music Technology in Live Performance: Tools, Techniques, and Interaction

"""What Canfer has achieved is to condense a complex and sprawling field of knowledge and practice, usually expressed as an intuitive process akin to the mystic arts, into a clear, practical and digestible framework. By examining all of the human and technological processes in music performance through the lens of energy exchange, he has given us a precise and useful tool with which to demystify and explain music tech – both extant and emergent."" Andrew Dubber, Director of MTF Labs ""A holistic and well-structured introduction to all technology in and around the stage. A must-read for producers and live sound engineers alike."" Kirsten Hermes, Electronic Music Producer and Senior Lecturer at University of Westminster ""A timely and authoritative exposition of the state of the art. Bridging the theoretical and the practical, it is sure to inspire as much as to inform."" Bill Evans, Producer (Flying Colors, Deep Purple, Steve Vai, Alice Cooper)"
