It’s difficult to imagine life without the presence of personal technology. Question most people sitting next to you on the subway or speeding past you down the street and you are sure to find an iPod, cell phone or another inventive piece of technical gadgetry on hand. Nowhere has this human-technology juncture impacted our lives more than in the world of music. Everything from the production of sound to the consumption of albums has changed as technology has, and artists are more and more apt to take note—and advantage—of these changes.
One of such artists is Moby, the musician and DJ whose digital remixes and computer remasterings of long-forgotten songs have garnered him critical and popular acclaim. Moby will sit down with Wall Street Journal technology editor Walt Mossberg to discuss these and other topics. On deck are the state and future of technology in music, what the pair’s own personal techno gadgets are, and advice to the average music and technology consumer on traversing the multi-layered and often transitional realm of personal technology.
The talk, entitled “Mossberg, Moby, Music and More” and taking place August 10 at Lincoln Center, is a feature in the ongoing Wall Street Journal series Summer Scoops, examining the names and players behind a myriad of aspects of art and culture.
