Sažetak
From the time of the invention of (audio) cassettes, music can be recorded everywhere and by anyone ; mediated music is no longer only a privilege of social and economic elites. But the low technical quality of such cassette recordings was not enough for the broader public distribution or playing of the recorded music on all (public) media. Until recently, only those musicians who were "chosen" by big record companies could record their music and distribute it via official media (public radio stations and TV). The low expense of modern technology today--computers, computer programs, studio equipment--allows almost everyone to have a home studio of his or her own where it is possible to produce good recordings. During field research in Croatia I discover who the owners of such home studios are— musicians, technicians or just people who like music and like to produce their own "stars." I also explore who the users of home studios are: professional musicians who maybe find it less expensive to record in such small places or local musicians who do not have the chance to record for the bigger companies. Does the available technology influence the quality of recorded music? Is it better/worse than when made in bigger studios and why? How is recorded material in such studios published and distributed and how does this kind of production affect local and broader social groups? These and other issues will be addressed in my presentation.
