Abstract

This analysis has been based on material situations from the upper and lower circuits of urban economies factoring in either companies or individuals involved in production, distribution, retailing and consumption of music in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Goiânia and Recife. The technical feature was vital to understand the manner by which small businesses, especially those ones on recording and manufacturing medias, started coexisting along business in the upper circuit. The technique entangled the whole analytical narrative in order to describe and understand the mechanics of companies tied up to music in both circuits in the urban economy. We developed a short timeline of the techniques used to produce and play music from LPs (vinyl records), K-7, CD and MP3. This can be easier observed across the first two chapters. Following that, we produce evidence about how the use of territory is determined by the set of techniques and vice-versa in order to allow the facilities in place to interact and adjust themselves to agents in a less structured organisation in terms of capital and technologies. New meanings established over the time like adverstisements and information are significant data to understand how the companies that produce, distribute and sale music over those five cities are linked and complement each other. This fact along with more and more people living in cities, has brought up employeement levels in those segments, where music has a big contribution. The identification of this sort of situation is better established over the forth and fifth chapters. State role has gone the five first chapters. However, the last one (the sixth) brings many occasions found out over field research, checking that the State plays a doble-role. It contributes to produce music and performances and regulates small, médium and big agents, who are responsible for saling taxed and non-taxed records. (AU)
