Featuring exclusive interviews with key figures, from Napalm Death vocalist Barney Greenway to guitarist Bill Steer of Gentlemans Pistols, Carcass, and Napalm Death, this is your guide through the history of death metal.Guitars playing abrasive, discordant riffs, the thunderous double-kick of the drums acting like an accelerated heartbeat, and porcine, guttural vocals pummeling twisted lyrics. Courting controversy from inception to its modern day iteration, death metal presents a number of contradictions: Driven and adventurous musicians compete to make uncomfortable noises; it is crude and far beyond parody and yet consistently popular; and the music is pig-headedly uncommercial despite making a few labels, albeit briefly, wealthy. This book explores the history and methodology of the genre, charting its aims and intentions, its crossovers to the mainstream, successes and failures, and tracks how it developed from the bedrooms of Birmingham and Florida to the near-mainstream, to the murky cult status it enjoys today.

Bogen er en vejledning i justering af rørblade til saxofon og klarinet - til begyndere og øvede. Der er kun to tekniske hindringer, hvis man vil spille saxofon eller klarinet. Man skal råde over et instrument, der er tæt. Og man skal have et rørblad, som er klargjort, balanceret og justeret til mundstykke og musiker. Ellers bliver det svært. Et rørblad er ALDRIG i optimal tilstand, når man køber det. Så man må selv lære at justere det. Det bliver lettere at spille, når du kan. Så kan du koncentrere dig helt om musikken. Justering ligner måske heksekunst, mend det kan gøres med en smule værktøj og lidt øvelse. Færre blade skal kasseres, så denne vejledning tjener sig selv ind gennem sparede rørblade og større glæde ved din egen musik.

Dette er bagsiden af bogen – og medaljen, fordi her er der intet nyt under sofaen. Nej, det nye er inde i bogen, og hvis DU, kære læser, skal få lyst til at åbne den, og ikke mindst læse i den, bør jeg nok fortælle lidt om den legendariske Kalle Mathiesen, og komme med et uddrag: "Kalle Math’Ismen er troen på, at du skal turde tvivle på det, du er allermest sikker på. Fordi evigheden ligger inde i pauserne imellem tankerne. Det eneste, vi kan være sikre på her i verden, er, at vi ikke kan være sikre på noget som helst, fordi alting forandrer sig hele tiden. Tag alle de største katastrofer i verden: 9/11, ISIS, Hitlers Tyskland, Cirkusrevyen, Nick og Jay, Justin Bieber – ja, jeg kunne blive ved. Alle disse katastrofer har dét til fælles, at de er skabt i hovedet på en mand eller kvinde, der aldrig turde tvivle på deres sikkerhed. Når man lukker sig for den evige, kosmiske forandring, lukker man sig også om sig selv. Som den stortalende sønderjyske misforståelse med storheds-vanvid, jeg er, spørger folk mig tit: "Hvordan kan du holde dig selv ud?" Jeg svarer altid: "Den eneste grund til, at jeg kan holde mig selv ud, er, at det er mig, der betaler for alle mine drinks."

Denne bog behandler emnet musikvidenskab både som sag, dvs. som forskningsområde, og som fag, forstået som studium. Den er i første række skrevet til brug for fagstuderende ved universiteterne. I den forbindelse er sigtet delvis kritisk, idet der i Danmark ikke gives en entydigt musikvidenskabelig grunduddannelse. En sådan plæderer bogen for. Dens indføring i sagsemnet musikvidenskab afgrænses af udvalgte synsvinkler, som er bestemt af personlige hovedinteresser og prioriteringer. Det er disciplinens traditionsgivne kerneområder der behandles. Forfatteren appellerer derfor til at hans udspil føres videre, af kolleger fra andre forsknings-felter eller gennem kritik – I fagets og sagens tjeneste.

Miles Davis is one of the most revered artists of the last 100 years, regardless of the art form. Credited with ushering in a new age of jazz more than once, Davis’s unique perception of the world is best known through his memorable music and is arguably more popular now than ever. In later years, he earned additional acclaim as an abstract painter, with many of his originals selling for thousands of dollars and continuing to escalate in value.  But his sense of personal expression didn’t stop with music and painting. Miles Davis’s restless, rebellious personality found an additional creative outlet through his interest in fashion.  From the big shouldered, pleated suits of the forties, to the Ivy League look of the fifties, the sleek Italian suits of the sixties and the more avant-garde looks of the last twenty years of his life, Miles Davis blazed a fashion trail whose impact is still being felt today.MILESSTYLE is the first book to examine Miles Davis, the artist, using himself as a creative canvas.  MILESSTYLE features observations from notable fashionistas like Lenny Kravitz, Bryan Ferry and Lloyd Boston, as well as friends and bandmates like Quincy Jones, Ron Carter, Clark Terry and more regarding his sartorial evolution as well as what his style said about the music and the man.
