Work And Play: Vagaries Surrounding Contemporary Culture Production In Sydney's Dance Music Culture, Christopher Brennan-Horley

Much recent research has documented how, under 'creative' capitalism, approaches towards work and types of work are changing.

Ambient Australia: Music, Meditation And Tourist Places, Christopher Gibson, John Connell

This chapter examines how music informs the creation of tourist places in Australia. It discusses one genre-ambient music-and the way it is related to geography both symbolically (in terms of cultural representations), and literally (in terms of links to musical and touristic activities in particular towns).
