New Soundworlds on Canals & Computers Sounding History

    • Music History

Canals are built waterways dug into the ground which historically have carried water, people, energy, goods–and information. By analogy computers, networks of digital connection linked via the World Wide Web, carry information the same way. The travel and collision of disparate sounds on the early canals of the young United States shaped its music history. We can think the same way about the earliest history of music on computers.
