From the early introduction of the stethoscope to the various roles of music within the workplace, labor and its architectural enclosures have shifted with post-industrial work. This essay uses Gilles Deleuze, the history of workplace efficiency, and Muzak to describe the aural shift from a disciplinary society to a society of control.
