The effect of technology on the music industry: Digitalization in the Turkish music industry

This thesis tries to reveal the involvement of technology in music from the point of view of the change that music has undergone in culture and art, from the perspective of Adorno and Frankfurt School thinkers, as well as the discourses of thinkers in ancient times, from the point where pure music has come from the modern age and postmodern age. As a method, the information obtained with field-specific questions within the framework of the interview technique turned into various findings. Thus, in the light of the findings obtained, the relationship between future-oriented music and technology has been examined and various results have been tried to be reached. The main line of this study will be to examine how music, one of the vital points of art, and Adorno's observations and discourses are mostly of a critical identity, how this branch of art has become a commodity and to what extent and how the effects of this commodification continue, within the framework of an objective and constructive dimension. Key Words: Music, Adorno, Culture Industry, Frankfurt School, Culture and Art
