  abstract = {{T}he emergence of electricity made it possible to physically fix and to reproduce music. {H}owever, it also led to new perspectives in composition, which developed in tandem with the concurrent emergence of sound reproduction techniques and the possibilities presented by sound reinforcement. {N}ew instruments appeared releasing new creative dynamics, and electrification in general contributed to the emergence of novel musical compositions that have become part of the cultural history of the {M}editerranean basin and the {A}rab world. {W}hat does sound electrification do to music, its status and its production? {H}ow is sound reinforcement technology used, and to what ends? {W}hat does the circulation of music and its economy tell us of the {M}editerranean and {A}rab world? {D}oes this region embody only one single geographical, cultural, and historical characteristic? {T}he introduction to this special issue aims to intertwine the questions of musical composition and writing with those of sound electrification in order to examine the notion of the aesthetics of electrification as a unifying principle in the production of music in this region},
