Mad Skills
Part rigorous history, part insightful commentary, and part shameless memoir, Mad Skills tells the story behind the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, aka MIDI, through the twentieth century�s kaleidoscopic lens. Guiding us across one hundred years of musical instruments, and the music made with them, it 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.
