在这篇文章中，我提出了一个社会网络分析，探讨和地图的关系城市网络的生产在全球唱片音乐产业。在分析中，录制的音乐专辑被视为临时的基于市场的项目，将地球仪录音室的熟练创意工作者团队聚集在一起。将地理位置遥远的工作室联网的新工具和技术使移动的音乐创意工作者能够在全球范围内协调音乐录制，从而产生新的音乐制作地理关系。一种创新的方法是采取社会网络分析，以评估城市的连通性，并确定三个主要的英语数字音乐市场的生产网络内的城市的中心地位和权力。其结果是通过项目、工作室和当地城市群之间的相互依赖关系，绘制了音乐制作的相关城市网络图。
In this article, I present a social network analysis that explores and maps relational urban networks of production within the global recorded music industry. Within the analysis, recorded music albums are viewed as temporary market-based projects that bring together teams of skilled creative workers in recording studios across the globe. New tools and techniques for networking studios in geographically distant locations give mobile musically creative workers the ability to coordinate musical recordings on a global scale, resulting in new relational geographies of music production. An innovative approach is taken to the social network analysis to assess the connectedness of cities and determine the centrality and power of cities within networks of production for three major Anglophone digital music markets. The result is a mapping of the relational urban networks of music production as indicated through the interdependencies between projects, studios and local urban agglomerations.
