Abstract
In addition to encountering music in everyday situations, musicians perform, compose, arrange, contemplate, and study music in a way that is integral to their everyday lives. This paper draws together ideas of autobiographical memory and musicianship via an examination of the ways in which musicians create and interpret musically triggered autobiographical memories. Using original interview narratives, the paper argues that the dual roles of producer and consumer typically played by musicians contribute to a specialised relationship between music and memory for this group. This includes discussions of concepts of identity, creative labour, emotion, and embodiment that combine to produce particular interactions for individuals.
