The John Rutter Piano Album

8 of his best-loved choral pieces in new transcriptions for solo piano

Get the definitive story of the ’90s alt-rock movement&nbsp;straight from the musicians and figures who lived it. No period in the history of rock music offered such an abrupt shift in prevailing tastes as the 1990s. While just a short while before, radio and MTV were clamoring for hair metal bands, suddenly alt-rockers such as Jane’s Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, Faith No More, Primus, Smashing Pumpkins, and of course, Nirvana, brought a sea change not just in what the most popular bands sounded like, but also in fashion, politics, and seemingly all aspects of pop culture. In Alternative for the Masses: The Oral History of the ’90s Alt-Rock Revolution, veteran music critic Greg Prato presents more than 60 new interviews conducted exclusively for the book—with an emphasis on the 1990–1995 peak period—including insights from renowned names like: <ul><li>Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Dischord Records)</li><li>Frank Black (Pixies)</li><li>Corey Glover (Living Colour)</li><li>Moby (solo artist/DJ)</li><li>Al Jourgensen (Ministry)</li><li>Les Claypool (Primus)</li><li>Kennedy (host of MTV’s&nbsp;Alternative Nation)</li><li>Matt Pinfield (host of MTV’s 120 Minutes)</li><li>Butch Vig (producer of Nirvana’s&nbsp;Nevermind)</li><li>Tanya Donnelly (Belly, Breeders)</li><li>Fred Armisen (Portlandia, Saturday Night Live)</li></ul> Prato also includes excerpts from one of the last interviews with Steve Albini, arguably the period’s most influential recording engineer and producer, responsible for influential albums by the likes of Nirvana and PJ Harvey producer, among many others. Prato sets out his book in thematic chapters covering topics such as: <ul><li>The Lollapalooza music festival</li><li>The impact of Nirvana</li><li>Alt-rock’s many subgenres</li><li>Notable producers of the period</li><li>The impact of women rockers</li><li>MTV’s influence</li><li>Drugs and addiction</li><li>and much more!</li></ul> Do you long for the days when it seemed rock artists were all about daring to be different, speaking their minds, and shaking up the music industry? The last decade before the internet, downloads, and streaming took over music?&nbsp;Alternative for the Masses will take you back to that time when alt-rock truly promised something different.

The '90s Alt-Rock Revolution - An Oral History

Alternative for the Masses

Compositional thinking as a practice of opening, queering, and reordering - beyond authorship, control, and musical autonomy.

What does compositional thinking mean beyond notes, parameters, and musical autonomy? This essay understands composition as a practice of structuring, opening, and queering the world. Moving between music, theatre, and performance, it approaches scores not as instructions but as invitations: to collaboration, ambivalence, loss of control, and re-use. Compositional thinking emerges as a transdisciplinary strategy - political, embodied, material - resisting normative order, academic seriousness, and binary logic. Music becomes a testing ground for new forms of togetherness, collective authorship, and working in the in-between.

Upon the release of Sufjan Stevens' seventh studio album, Carrie &amp; Lowell, two divergent groups found themselves as strange bedfellows: the LGBTQIA+ community and American evangelical Christians. Both were united in praise for Stevens' beautifully melancholic music. Critically acclaimed as one of the best albums of 2015, the elegiac and intimate record about the death of Sufjan's estranged mother reflects the musician's own paradoxical posture-Carrie &amp; Lowell is both sacred and profane, Christian and queer, traditional and progressive, despairing and hopeful. Theologian and cultural critic Joel Mayward considers Carrie &amp; Lowell as a mystical metamodern memento mori, Sufjan's symphonic (as opposed to systematic) approach to the questions of mortality, sexuality, and God. Fusing critical observations with personal narrative, Mayward examines the unique audience reception of Carrie &amp; Lowell and the questions it raises: in a world of division, how might Stevens' affecting music act as a bridge of love between seemingly irreconcilable communities? As Carrie &amp; Lowell reminds us of the painful truth that "we're all gonna die," perhaps it also offers a glimpse of transcendence and hope on this side of death.

Musik und Klangkultur

Welche Besonderheiten ergeben sich für die Musik- und Kulturgeschichte Aserbaidschans im 20. Jahrhundert aus einer transregionalen Perspektive? Elmir Mirzoev beleuchtet die Spannungen zwischen archaischen und modernen, religiösen und säkularen sowie östlich-eurasischen und westlich-europäischen Einflüssen, die durch die geo-kulturelle Lage Aserbaidschans an der Grenze dreier Imperien geprägt sind. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Verflechtungen, die sich einerseits durch die kulturelle Nähe Aserbaidschans zur UdSSR, andererseits durch traditionelle und religiöse Gemeinsamkeiten mit dem Dövl¿ti-Qacar (Iran) und sprachliche Verbindungen zum Osmanischen Reich in der Musikgeschichte des Landes widerspiegeln.

California Studies in Music, Sound, and Media

Interrogating the recent proliferation of audio apps, smart speakers, sleep aids, and prenatal sound systems that promise a better life through sound, this book explores how these technologies came to be promoted as a cheap solution for capitalism's inevitable crisis of reproduction. Marie Thompson shows how--at a time when, for many, accessing and providing care are increasingly under pressure--sound and music are sold as tools to support caregiving, child rearing, domestic management, and pregnancy. Connecting this phenomenon to shifting gendered, racial, and global divisions of labor, the making of the modern family, the changing political economy of music, and evolving discourses of automation, The Sonic Surrogate sheds light on the many reproductions implicated in sound reproduction.

Julian Carrillos "Sonido 13" - musikalischer Pioniergeist aus Mexiko für die Welt

In einer Zeit, als die musikalische Avantgarde nach neuen Klangwelten suchte, entwickelte Julian Carrillo in Mexiko sein revolutionäres "Sonido 13"-System - eine mikrotonale Kompositionstechnik, die über die zwölf Halbtöne der westlichen Musik hinausging. Mit akribischer Präzision rekonstruiert Jonas Reichert die faszinierende Entstehungsgeschichte dieses einzigartigen musikalischen Experiments zwischen 1921 und 1925.

Die Studie enthüllt, wie Carrillo sein System durch geschicktes Navigieren zwischen globalen Verbindungen und bewussten Abgrenzungen positionierte. Während er einerseits in der "glorreichen deutschen Musiktradition" verwurzelt sein wollte, inszenierte er sich gleichzeitig als völlig eigenständiger Pionier der Mikrotonalität, dessen erste Experimente angeblich bis 1895 zurückreichten.

Der Autor zeigt, wie sich Carrillos Kompositionssystem von einer visionären Idee zu einer praktischen Realität entwickelte - durch eigens konstruierte Instrumente, ein numerisches Notationssystem und öffentlichkeitswirksame Konzerte im postrevolutionären Mexiko. Besonders aufschlussreich ist die Analyse seiner ersten mikrotonalen Werke, die den schmalen Grat zwischen avantgardistischer Innovation und publikumswirksamer Tradition erkunden.

Für Musikwissenschaftler, Komponisten und kulturhistorisch Interessierte, die einen tiefen Einblick in einen faszinierenden, aber oft übersehenen Kapitel der Musikgeschichte suchen.

Konzeptualisierung und Realisierung des "Sonido 13" von Julián Carillo (1921-1925)

Minimalist Music looks critically into the music's past, shows how the genre thrives across styles, and points the way toward minimalism's ongoing future. Minimalism as a genre is best defined not by any style or flavor but by its means. Certain rhythms and chords in other music may identify things like jazz or bossa nova or reggae; take those same elements and put them through the processes of minimalism and you have minimalism with the hues of other musics. A still young genre with ancient roots, minimalism is much less any kind of style than a practice, a manner of making music. Reviving those means and applying them to contemporary sounds and experiences, the pioneers of minimalism created a new and avant-garde music that immediately communicated its power to listeners of all kinds. The global appeal of minimalism and the way the methods adapt to myriad styles open up a view into how music actually works as an art and an experience, how through time it connects in a fundamental way to how we as humans listen. Minimalist Music is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.

This is the definitive chronicle of Ministry's 1988 industrial rock release, The Land of Rape and Honey, that details the zeitgeist where post-punk, metal, funk and straight-up noise converge. Ministry mainstay Al Jourgensen got a taste of bitter record-biz backwash early on with his first major label bow for Arista (1983's With Sympathy), and then vowed never to drink from that cup again. His pursuit of artistic freedom culminated in Ministry's 1988 release, the record that left an entry wound on the world's assorted underground scenes while helping to foment the industrial rock revolution that inspired a countless number of bands across all sonic frontiers. Featuring interviews with Al Jourgensen, Paul Barker, Chris Connelly, Jello Biafra, Adrian Sherwood, deadmau5, Fear Factory, and many more famous fans and pundits, this deeply sourced book traces back the climate surrounding Ministry's first two full length releases before examining the vision, methods, and controversies that helped ascend The Land of Rape and Honey to its rightful legend status. The Land of Rape and Honey may be the one common album members of Nine Inch Nails, AFI, and ZZ Top have in their collections, be it phonograph or phone. And the story behind it remains fascinating.

This book is about unveiling and exploring the many layered gestures of Re. Re, the 1994 album by the Mexican group Café Tacvba, is a spectacularly unique musical object that adopts and adapts myriad musical genres with the pulse, the attitude, and the energy of punk and rock. Mambo and ska, samba and salsa, punk and industrial, disco and Mexican banda, are but a few of the genres in this musical trip. But Re is not appropriation, but rather transformation: 20 original tracks of music that think through the music created and consumed in Latin America. The lyrics add layer after layer of either nuance or shock, as they play with the cultural and musical expectations of the many genres included in the album. Re, in a very real way, displays the post-punk origins of the band-loud, thoughtful, nerdy and quirky, irreverent-and it does so by creating songs that represent the historical, cultural, musical and political complexity of Mexico and Latin America. The general reaction of Re in the Anglo world is that this is Café Tacvba's 'White Album', but the album far exceeds that simplistic comparison.

Conceived and first composed on her laptop at home, with some vocals recorded in her bathroom, Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part Two is lo-fi and highly sophisticated-exquisitely analog and experimentally techy. Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part Two is lofi and highly sophisticated-exquisitely analog and experimentally techy. It begins with a radio signal tuning in, and it asks its listener to participate in their own process of attunement, to listen to familiar sounds anew, and open ourselves to an alternate Amerykah. An organism at once cohesive and discordant, it flows, jams, grooves, bounces. It transforms. Placing Badu in an intertextual constellation of artists and critics from Stevie Wonder, to Amiri Baraka, to Alice Coltrane, Kameryn Alexa Carter explores whether neo-soul is dead, acknowledges Baduizm as a potent form of Black female spirituality, and tunes into Badu's "freakquencies", taking the reader through a series of synesthetic dream sequences as she revisits the album again and again.

A towering figure in music and film, Michel Legrand created some of the most creative and innovative film scores of the second half of the 20th century. The music of his most most successful collaborations -- masterpieces for films such as The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Thomas Crown Affair, Summer of '42, and Yentl -- is particularly memorable. As these scores and the stories behind their creation are, they represent one part of Legrand's genius. Over a career that spanned seven decades, Legrand composed the scores for 160 films, winning Oscars and Grammys along the way. Many of his songs have become standards covered by artists as diverse as Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughan, Rufus Wainwright, and Sting. A prolific and highly versatile composer, Legrand worked with virtually every legendary figure in popular music and film from Maurice Chevalier to Barbra Streisand and from Orson Welles to Jean-Luc Godard. Still active in his late 80s, Legrand composed the score for Orson Welles's posthumously released movie, The Other Side of the Wind (2018). Just prior to his death at the age of 87, Legrand sat down with his longtime collaborator Stéphane Lerouge to recount, all the while intermingling present and past, many of the significant and memorable episodes from his life. He speaks of his triumphs but doesn't shy away from revealing rejections, fiascos, missed opportunities, creative insecurities and a nervous breakdown he experienced in Los Angeles at the height of his success. Throughout, he pays homage to the roles played by numerous artists he encountered on both sides of the Atlantic--jazz musicians, singers and lyricists, film directors and music composers, many of whom became his lifelong friends. Translated by Sam Taylor, this book shares Legrand's stories as told to Lerouge to English readers for the first time.
