Story0
From the joyous communal connections fostered through shared auditory experience to the devastating impact of noise pollution in the deep sea, musician and author Damon Krukowski urges readers to reconsider the significance of sound and its role in both our personal and collective well-being. He looks despairingly at how the multipronged efforts of urban dwellers to mitigate city noise have led to increased isolation, loss of community, and a sense of physical detachment from one’s surroundings.

Story0
When we think of rock stars, we are entrained to think of them as having come from regular, working-class backgrounds, and having worked their way up the slippery pole to success through hard work and talent alone. The reality is that all household name musicians are selected for success. Barely a plumber in sight. But no shortage of generals, admirals, politicians, civil servants and spies. Mark Devlin offers further evidence to show how the corporate music industry exists solely for the mind-control of the masses, with artists becoming little more than hand-picked puppets.

في هذا الكتاب، يستعرِض إيلايجا والد نوعاً موسيقياً هو في صميم الثقافة الأمريكية. ويتتبَّع جذورَ هذه الموسيقى في الحقول ومعسكرات العمل والأناشيد الدينية، ويُظهِر التحوُّلاتِ التي شهدتها على يدِ فنانين محترفين مثل وليام سي هاندي، الذي جعل موسيقى البلوز فناً شعبياً قبل قرنٍ مضى. ثم يتابع والد تطورَ هذه الموسيقى من ما رايني وبيسي سميث إلى بوب ديلان وجيمي هندريكس، ويوضِّح تأثير التسجيلات الريفية، ويستكشف دورَ البلـوز في تطوُّر موسيقى الكانتري وموسيقى الجاز، ويلقي نظرةً على اتجاهاتِ الإيقاع والبلوز التي راجت في أربعينيات القرن العشرين وخمسينياته. وأخيراً، ينتقل والد إلى الحاضر، ويتطرَّق إلى تأثيراتِ البلوز على الشِّعر الأمريكي وعلاقة هذا النوع الموسيقي بالأساليبِ الحديثة مثل الراب.

يطرح هذا الكتاب أسئلةً أساسيةً حول طبيعة الموسيقى بوصفها ممارسةً بشريةً، فالعالم يمتلئ بأنواع مختلفة من الموسيقى: الشعبية، والكلاسيكية، والجاز، والروك، والبوب، والكثير غيرها. بيد أن الكتاب يركز على أبعادها الاجتماعية والثقافية، مستكشفاً تطورها عبر الحقب، وموضحاً تأثير التكنولوجيا فيها، ودورها في سياقات العمل الاجتماعي والسياسي. ويناقش الكتاب أيضاً وضع الموسيقى في زمن العولمة؛ من دورها في إنهاء الاستعمار إلى أهميتها بوصفها وسيلةً للتواصل بين الثقافات.

The Bastard Instrument chronicles the history of the electric bass and the musicians who played it, from the instrument’s invention through its widespread acceptance at the end of the 1960s.

Un bambino come tanti: silenzioso, non bello, con grandi occhi pieni di domande. Dal momento in cui il mondo si accorge di lui, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart non avrà più pace. Per farlo dovrà però rinunciare alla spensieratezza, alle amicizie, agli amori e persino alla salute, mentre per restare nell'orbita della sua vita eccezionale coloro che lo amano, come la sorella Nannerl e la madre Anna, si sacrificheranno fino ad annullarsi.
