Discourse on popular music frequently describes artists’ recordings and performances as “intimate.” Yet that discourse often stops short of elucidating how a mass-produced commodity such as popular music is able to elicit feelings of intimacy with and among its audience. Through detailed analysis of popular music’s composition, performance, production, and promotion, Musical Intimacy examines how intimacy is constructed and perceived in popular music via its affective and technological affordances. From the recording studio to the concert stage, from collective experience to individual listening and perception, this book presents a working understanding of musical intimacy.

‘Intimacy’ is one of those terms in popular music scholarship that is used in a dizzying number of contexts, and sometimes deployed in ways that seem downright head-scratching (can a stadium tour really be “intimate?”). Yet the importance of the intimate quality of various musical phenomenon, from studio recordings to live concerts to streaming video, cannot be denied. In Musical Intimacy, Stiegler and Campbell shine much-needed light on this ubiquitous but elusive concept, showing how perceptions of intimacy structure many of our most visceral sonic experiences.
