Title: Keys to play
Description: How do keyboards make music playable? Drawing on theories of media, systems, and cultural techniques, Moseley covers Greek myth to contemporary Japanese digital games. The keyboard forms a field of play on which the book's diverse objects of inquiry--from clavichords to PCs and eighteenth-century musical dice games to the latest rhythm-action titles--enter into analogical relations.
