"If anyone deserves this kind of Festschrift it's Nick Cook, whose work--provocative and inspiring--is seminal to present day thought about music."- Lawrence Kramer, Distinguished Professor of English and Music, Fordham University"This collection of essays serves as a splendid tribute to Nick Cook, revealing the widespread influence his work has had on so many diverse aspects of the study of music. The authors engage spiritedly not only with Cook’s ideas on the production, performance, and theory of music in relation to traditional practices and multimedia technologies, but also respond to the social and ethical concerns that characterize his work."- Derek B. Scott, Professor of Critical Musicology, University of Leeds"This is a wonderful collection that offers a rich contribution to the field. The chapters take Cook’s work as a starting point, and work, play, or move with the models he has developed in highly productive ways."– Freya Jarman, Reader in Music, University of Liverpool
