How do digital technologies transform music? The answer depends on the lens of one's analysis: creation, promotion, or the experience of the listener. How Music Changed YouTube shows that the reverse question - How does music transform digital technologies? - is also worth exploring: through reliance on sound recording and music, internet technologies and media are manufactured, transformed, and come to dominate.Guillaume Heuguet's study situates YouTube in relation to both the internet platform and music industries by unpacking the cultural and technological forms embedded within and observing the practices and values associated with it, from the art of collecting to the accelerated circulation of samples and remixes. Heuguet's documentary and genealogical work relies on YouTube's traces in internet archives, its successive interfaces, the blogs of its teams, and a few emblematic channels and videos. Particular attention is paid to the tensions between the promises associated with music algorithms - recommendation system, copyright control, view calculation - and the reality of their operation from a technical and cultural point of view. How Music Changed YouTube shows how, far from responding to an immediate need, YouTube's editorial and economic model developed over time, how the various fans, artists, labels, lawyers and legislators shaped the site, and how these factors affected its rise as a global media force in the early 21st century.

Musiker og sangskriver Elvis Costello havde en rig musikalsk ballast med i bagagen, da han i 1977 debuterede som new wave-sanger med albummet My Aim Is True, og relativt hurtigt stod det klart, at én genre ikke kunne rumme hans musikalske vingefang. Han brød tidligt ud af new wave-bølgen, og konsekvent har han siden hoppet fra genre til genre – country og klassisk over jazz til easy listening, opera og ballet – men er altid vendt tilbage til udgangspunktet i den rene, uforfalskede rockmusik. Elvis Costello har arbejdet sammen med bl.a. Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach og Carole King. Han har vundet to Grammyer, blev optaget i Rock and Roll Hall of Fame i 2003 og modtog OBE-ordenen af den engelske dronning i 2019. Karsten Jørgensen guider læseren gennem Costellos karriere, krydret med vigtige nedslag fra de dele af hans baggrund og privatliv, der har været med til at forme ham som kunstner. Uddrag af bogen Det siges, at en rockbiografi uden sex og stoffer er som en bibel uden gud, og sagaen om Elvis Costello er forbavsende fattig på de to første ingredienser. Til gengæld er hans renommé solidt baseret på saglighed og seriøsitet og en sans for det musikalske, som rigeligt opvejer denne mangel – og skulle nogen være i tvivl, kan der søges bevis for det i de mere end 500 sange og langt over 30 studieplader, han har udgivet i en karriere hen over seks årtier. Om forfatterenKarsten Jørgensen (f. 1955) er forfatter og freelancejournalist. Han har udgivet bøger siden 1979, primært musikbiografier om bl.a. The Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon og Brian Wilson, og betragtes som en af Danmarks bedste rockskribenter.
