In view of the increasing facilities of its production, circulation and consumption, the mobilizing capacity of music in the contemporary world is becoming increasingly evident. Inspired by the seminal work of Tia DeNora and carrying out extensive fieldwork, Trotta carefully analyses the sensitive aspects and the production of meanings that involve the daily musical and sound experiences researched. Annoying Music Everyday Life is a fundamental work for those who seek to rethink the consequences of living in an increasingly sonorous, musical and, for many, much louder world.
