Library Music and Imagined Images

musical practices: it is cast here as usable music made for imagined images, and as a repository of shared musical imaginaries. By exploring how library music is continuously transformed in multiple and unpredictable moments of meaning-making, we also unveil its specificity not as a finished musical work, but rather as a raw material meant to be repurposed and reshaped beyond composers' hands. Ultimately, the book reframes library music as an object worthy of attention one that can reveal much about music for media today. [Publisher's text]
