| Abstract |
|
"The paper studies popular music as a production process and delineates the varieties of its social organization. It explores the problems endemic to the collaborative nature of the production process and examines in detail the job experiences of one collaborator in particular, the sound mixer, during a period when craft activities were being transformed into artistic activities."

"He [Becker, 1978 p. 864-870] posits that such a transformation occurs when artists become interested in the craft materials as a new medium for artistic expression and make attempts to take it over. The results of such a transformation show up primarily in two ways: (1) a change in the aesthetic conventions for judging the crafted objects from utilitarian to expressive, and (2) a change in the status of the work—and the workers—from technical to artistic. The following study specifies how this process took place in popular music collaborations and transformed sound mixing from a craft to an art." by "such a transformation" refers to sound mixers transforming into "artist-mixers" as creatives. See (Becker 1978). Becker, H. S. (1978). Arts and crafts. American Journal of Sociology, 83(4), 862–889.
