{"product_id":"vocal-tracks-jacob-smith-9780520254947","title":"Vocal Tracks: Performance and Sound Media","description":"This entertaining and innovative book focuses on vocal performance styles that developed in tandem with the sound technologies of the phonograph, radio, and sound film. Writing in a clear and lively style, Jacob Smith looks at these media technologies and industries through the lens of performance, bringing to light a fascinating nexus of performer, technology, and audience. Combining theories of film sound, cultural histories of sound technologies and industries, and theories of performance, Smith convincingly connects disparate and largely neglected performance niches to explore the development of a modern vocal performance. \u003ci\u003eVocal Tracks: Performance and Sound Media \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates the voice to be a vehicle of performance, identity, and culture and illustrates both the interconnection of all these categories and their relation to the media technologies of the past century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520254945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520254947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Jacob Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44449921761535,"sku":"9780520254947","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a39e8dd5-aa81-4d2f-9ad6-d09c5dbe589f.jpg?v=1698501762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vocal-tracks-jacob-smith-9780520254947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
