For many musicians, it involves the unavoidable compulsion to spend money one does not have on gear perhaps not even needed. The urge is directed by the belief that acquiring another instrument will make one a better player. This book pioneers research into the complex phenomenon named GAS from a variety of disciplines, including popular music studies and music technology, cultural and leisure studies, consumption research, sociology, psychology and psychiatry. The newly created theoretical framework and empirical studies of online communities and offline music stores allow the study to consider musical, social and personal motives, which influence the way musicians think about and deal with equipment. As is shown, GAS encompasses a variety of practices and psychological processes. In an often life-long endeavour, upgrading the rig is accompanied by musical learning processes in popular music." 517 $aGear Acquisition Syndrome 606 $aMusic$2bicssc 606 $aMusic: styles & genres$2bicssc 606 $aMusical instruments & instrumental ensembles$2bicssc 606 $aMusic industry$2bicssc 606 $aEducational: Music$2bicssc 610 $aGear Acquisition Syndrome, GAS, THEORY, musician, popular music studies, music technology, consumption research 615 7$aMusic 615 7$aMusic: styles & genres 615 7$aMusical instruments & instrumental ensembles 615 7$aMusic industry 615 7$aEducational: Music 676 $a784.19 700 $aHerbst$b Jan-Peter$01329508 702 $aMenze$b Jonas 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476755503321 996 $aGear Acquisition Syndrome$93039534 997 $aUNINA
