Series: New Approaches to Sound, Music, and Media

Traveling Music Videos offers a new interdisciplinary perspective on how contemporary music videos travel across, shape, and transform various media, online platforms, art institutions, and cultural industries worldwide. With the onset of digital technologies and the proliferation of global video-sharing websites at the beginning of the 21st century, music video migrated from TV screens to turn instead to the internet, galleries, concert stages, and social media. As a result, its aesthetics, technological groundings, and politics have been radically transformed.

From the kinaesthetic experience of TikTok to the recent reimaginations of maps and navigation tools through music video cartographies, from the ecofeminist voices mediated by live-stream concerts to the transmedia logic of video games and VR, from the videos’ role in contemporary art galleries to their political interventions —the chapters map the ways music video is continually reconfiguring itself. The volume tracks music video’s audiovisual itineraries across different geographies, maps its transmedia routes, and tackles the cultural impact that it has on our current media ecosystem.

Reviews for Traveling Music Videos

No longer confined to cable television or YouTube, music videos are constantly migrating to platforms as diverse as TikTok, commercials, VR, and video games, picking up remedial attributes native to each of these platforms along their journey. Traveling Music Videos provides a valuable roadmap for scholars to find their way into, through, and around this sprawling audiovisual ecosystem. * Brad Osborn, Professor of Music Theory, University of Kansas, USA *
