If you want a closer look into what happened with Miles Davis' music in the 1980's, this is the book for you. 10 years ago I planned an updated Danish version of my dissertation "That's Right" from 1991. The project stranded because of financial shortcomings. Things have changed, and this book is a result of that. The dissertation looks at the music Miles Davis recorded in the 1980's. The historic context is described. Miles Davis as an improviser is described and analysed. Focus is on "Blues", "Spanish modes", "Pop" and "Modern composition". The esthetic guidelines he used are stated. When you go to page one you are back in time in the year of 1991. A few more recent comments and explanations have been included.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this pictorial journey back to the magical-and turbulent-1960s. It was a time when culture, society and politics were changing at a rapid pace. And it was the music of Motown that brought people together in a way never before achieved in popular culture. It didn't matter if you were black or white, rich or poor, young or old...we were ALL listening to, dancing to, and buying the music of Motown. Motown provided the soundtrack for the 1960s. This book is a collection of photos taken by Motown fans throughout the years. Because it is based on available photos from those fans willing to share their collections, not all of Motown's artists are represented here. Most of the photos depict Motown artists today, rather than as they appeared in their heyday.

With a new foreword by Will Johnson, this book presents a detailed account of the Rust Belt-born prolific and at times cantankerous singer-songwriter Jason Molina.

This book considers the greatest film scores produced over a span of more than 80 years.

Sound, throb, and a long low wail of pure, hard pain...Nine Inch Nails. The world's most disturbing rock band is in effect one man singer and songwriter Trent Reznor. Since stealing the show during the original Lollapalooza tour in 1991, NIN has limned the hard edge of the techno revolution. In Reznor's desperate, combative persona and disarrayed melodies the musical community has finally found a band that appalls, confounds, and undeniably attracts. Horrified yet entranced, NIN's fans are like moths drawn toward the disfiguring flame of their music. From a well of previously unpublished research, Huxley has carved out the history of this improbable hero: Reznor's rise as an Appalachian outcast to dyspeptic sex symbol; his connections to Courtney Love; and his relationship with his spasmodically fixated fans. Ricocheting wildly between goth rock and industrial grunge, Nine Inch Nails has achieved a legendary sound. Here, Martin Huxley digs hard and deep to unearth the truth beneath the ultimate noise.

NOISE MUSIC und die Tradition künstlerischer Avantgarden des 20. Jhdts: Das einleitende Kapitel beginnt mit einem kulturhistorischen Überblick über die Herausbildung geräuschhafter Musik im 20. Jahrhundert. Das nächste Kapitel befasst sich mit dem primären Ort moderner Musikproduktion- der Stadt. Der urbane Raum wird dabei sowohl als reicher Pool außermusikalischer Klänge diskutiert, als auch als Produktions- und Konsumstätte von Musik verstanden. Im Kontext der Club Culture wird besonders auf die Etablierung des turntablism und der DJ culture eingegangen. Anhand dieser Subkultur wird ein neuer, postmoderner Zugang zu hochkulturellen Technologien beschrieben, der auch in der glitch und noise music aufgenommen werden wird. Im vierten Kapitel wird die technische Entwicklung, vom frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis zur Einführung digitaler Medien, und deren Auswirkungen auf den kreativen Schaffensprozess von Musik nachgezeichnet. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ökonomischer Verfügbarkeit hochkultureller Technologien und dem Entstehen neuer Distributionswege, wird die gegenwärtige Musikproduktion beleuchtet. Das fünfte Kapitel ist medientheoretischen Überlegungen und den Auswirkungen des mediatisierten Alltags auf den Produktions- und Rezeptionsprozess von Musik gewidmet. Im sechsten Kapitel werden die unterschiedlichen Stile einer post- digital music erläutert (cracked media).

Here is one of the most enjoyable and illuminating books ever published for the music lover, a feast of delightful anecdotes that reveal the all-too-human side of the great composers and performers.There are stories of appetites (Handel eating dinner for three), embarrassments (Brahms falling asleep as Liszt plays), oddities (Bruckner''s dog being trained to howl at Wagner), and devotions (a lovely admirer disrobing in tribute to Puccini). There are memorable accounts of Stravinsky telling Proust how much he hates Beethoven, of Tchaikovsky''s first bewildering telephone call, of Dvorak''s strange love of pigeons, and of Verdi''s intricate maneuvering to keep the now-famous melody of "La donna è mobile" top secret.There is also wonderful trivia (Beethoven loved to cat "bread soup" made with ten raw eggs), along with eccentric strategies (Verdi, disturbed by the sound of street organs playing arias from his operas, hired them all for a season and kept them locked in a room). There are examples of musicians munificent generosity (Haydn called Mozart "the greatest composer known to me, either in person or by name"), and scathing dismissal ("Have you heard any Stockhausen?" the conductor Sir Thomas Beecham was asked. "No," he replied, "but I believe I have trodden in some").Collected from thousands of books, articles, and unpublished manuscripts (with historical sources provided in extensive notes), these anecdotes appear in their original form, throwing fresh light on familiar figures in the musical hall of fame. For browsing, reading, research and amusement, this book is a grand entertainment for concert-goers, record-buyers, operamanes, gossips and music lovers everywhere.

Debussy's sole completed opera was given its premiere at Paris' Opera Comique on April 30, 1902. It was the culmination of an eight-year effort on the composer's part. Though not an immediate sensation like Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" two years later in Milan, the five-act lyric drama, after the identically titled play by Maeterlinck, enjoyed a successful run in the first two decades of the 20th century. This new vocal score is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the one issued in Paris by A. Durand et Fils in 1907, with an English translation of the text by Harry Grafton Chapman appearing beneath the original French. Now available in a convenient, readable A4 format at an affordable price. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is actually readable. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library. Wikipedia article IMSLP page
