Summary/Abstract: This article presents the music as an object of sociological analysis and the focus is on two musical genres – rock music and electronic music. The idea of writing this article was engendered from my personal commitment to the subject of study, as my aim was to examine technique and technology in the process of creating music. The basic theory used is the actor-network theory (Bruno Latour), complemented with the concepts of “taste of public” (Antoine Hennion), and the analysis of the contact between author and audience (Alfred Schutz). The article refers to empirical evidence of fieldwork from 10 to 30 October 2013.
