Music in the Global Age

As you may have worked out by now, I’ve been working on a book that’s available for purchase as it’s being written.

I’ve already had some lovely feedback about Music in the Digital Age (and some people have already pre-ordered the audiobook). So I started to think about whether there was anything else that would make it a distinctively “digital age” product.

And then it occurred to me. It’s not just the Digital Age – it’s also the Global Age.

I’ve approached some friends who work in a range of connected fields (independent music, education, media and so on) who have as their first language something other than English. Some of them have kindly agreed to translate the book so that I can release other versions in the same way that I’m releasing the English one:

1) as a work in progress;
2) with regular updates;
3) as a pay-what-you-want download.

And so then I got ambitious, and wondered how many languages it could simultaneously be written in?

I’m aiming for 25. Twenty-six if you also count English, which is the version I’m doing. I might even be tempted to go for thirty.
