Abstract:
|
Austin is the self -proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World ,” and its commitment to the practice of musical performance has created a unique environment for musicians and audiences . In particular , this paper focuses on the history of music in public places in Austin . This creative identity has helped encourage growth that creates stress on cultural and social relations . The conflict over amplified music is one front where this opposition plays out . Currently , the Austin noise ordinance is a decibel -based , quantifiable measurement , but everyone involved must make a greater effort to communicate and compromise in the social sphere . To cultivate a thriving live music scene , a strong commitment from venues , musicians , residents , and city hall is necessary . |
