The poster presents early insights from an ongoing study of music cultures among young audiences in Stockholm and Moscow. The 3-year research project ”Music Use in the Digital Media Age” is conducted by a research group at Södertörn University, Sweden. The cross-cultural study focuses on the impact of the Internet on music use and meanings of music in everyday life. Transformations in music use are observed from a user-centred audience perspective. The project sets focus on Moscow/Russia and Stockholm/Sweden: two geo-cultural frameworks in Northerrn and Eastern Europe.
