Publisher's Synopsis
Part rigorous history, part insightful commentary, and part memoir, 'Mad Skills' tells the story behind MIDI, aka the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, through the 20th century's kaleidoscopic lens. Guiding us across 100 years of musical instruments, and the music made with them, this book Skills recounts the technical and creative innovations that led to the making of the most vital, long-standing, ubiquitous, and yet invisible music technology of our time.
