Why is it important?
The experience of grass roots musical participation are highlighted against a background culture of disposable, machine made musical products. The piece contrasts the experience of ‘musicking’ against passive musical consumption.
Perspectives
As one of the authors I feel this in another step in the direction of creating and advocating an inclusive musical culture.
