From the Tin Pan Alley 32-bar form, through the cyclical forms of modal jazz, to the more recent accumulation of digital layers, beats, and breaks in Electronic Dance Music, repetition as both an aesthetic disposition and a formal property has stimulated a diverse range of genres and techniques. From the angles of musicology, psychology, sociology, and science and technology, Over and Over reassesses the complexity connected to notions of repetition in a variety of musical genres.

The first edited volume on repetition in 20th- and 21st-century popular music, Over and Over explores the wide-ranging forms and use of repetition - from large repetitive structures to micro repetitions - in relation to both specific and large-scale issues and contexts. The book brings together a selection of original texts by leading authors in a field that is, as yet, little explored. Aimed at both specialists and neophytes, it sheds important new light on one of the fundamental phenomena of music of our times.

Julien, Olivier: - Olivier Julien is Associate Professor at Sorbonne Université, France, where he teaches the history and musicology of popular music. A permanent member of the IReMus research group (Sorbonne Université/CNRS) and a member of the editorial board of Volume! La revue des musiques populaires, he is the editor of Sgt. Pepper and the Beatles: It Was Forty Years Ago Today (2009 ARSC Award for Best Research in Recorded Rock and Popular Music) and Over and Over: Exploring Repetition in Popular Music (with Christophe Levaux, Bloomsbury, 2018).

Levaux, Christophe: - Christophe Levaux was born in Brussels in 1982. He holds two Masters' degrees from the University of Liege: one in musicology and one in general management. He participated in the French Community of Belgium's Patrimoine Musical Numérique programme and has worked for the classical radio station Musiq'3 (RTBF). He is currently completing a PhD thesis on the construction of the concept of minimal music which explores methodological interconnections between musicology and science and technology studies.
