Unravelling Rap's Masked Iconoclast

Histories of Electronic Musical Instruments

The Roland x0x Series: A History of Early Roland Synthesizers and Drum Machines from SH-101 to TR-909 offers an authoritative but accessible investigation of how the design of these most influential musical instruments is shaped by technological factors, institutional contexts, market forces and imagined users and uses. Drawing on the perspectives of designers and engineers along with musicians and producers from around the world, the book explores how these iconic instruments both enable and constrain the creative work made with them.Providing detailed analysis of these seminal instruments, this book combines archival research that draws on contemporary reviews, instruction and service documentation, advertising and marketing materials, and technical analysis of the underlying analogue and digital circuits, with discussion of creative composition and performance practice, hardware and software modifications and modern remakes, emulations and clones. The Roland x0x Series is dedicated to demystifying these mainstays of popular music, and revealing the 'hidden histories' of the creation, lives and afterlives of these most important, recognisable, yet often misunderstood, synthesizers and drum machines.This is an essential reference for music producers and music technology enthusiasts, as well as those studying music technology, instrument design and human interaction in the context of electronic music.

A History of Early Roland Synthesizers and Drum Machines from SH-101 to TR-909

The Roland x0x Series

One of the world’s greatest bassists lays down the heart of Black music, revealing how its rhythmic structures and the long history of the African diaspora made it the world’s most popular form.&nbsp; &nbsp; “A&nbsp;revelatory new book.”—New York Times Why do Bob Marley, John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, and Nina Simone move us the way they do? What drives the worried notes of the Delta blues? What makes Beyoncé’s triumph Cowboy Carter inescapably great? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As Melvin Gibbs shows in How Black Music Took Over the World, it is the musical inheritance of Africa. Beginning with two rhythmic building blocks he calls the cell and the frame, Gibbs shows how those tools can transport listeners to “a realm where sounds become vehicles for human movement.” Reforged in the African diaspora in the Americas, they are played today on church organs, electric guitars, computers, telephones, or a simple gourd. Kool &amp; the Gang called Black musicians the “scientists of sound”—and Gibbs shows how they discovered the world’s music. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Gibbs’s vantage is unique. A world-class musician fluent in many genres, Gibbs is as comfortable in an old-school Times Square record shop as he is breaking down mathematics and music theory with university professors. Imbued with his own journey and a sharp eye for the sins and triumphs of history, How Black Music Took Over the World is an unforgettable revelation of one of humanity’s greatest achievements. &nbsp; &nbsp;

TimeMust-Read Books of 2024IndependentBest Non-Fiction Books 2024MojoBooks of the Year 2024"A vibrant, multifaceted portrait of a music enigma" Guardian"A powerful portrait" Irish Independent"Displays a bracing rigour and an exhilarating curiosity about its subject, coming closer than most to catching up with Mitchell on her lonely road" TimesCelebrated music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of the legendary Joni Mitchell.What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it's a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Joni Mitchell has inspired countless musicians and writers, while never stopping still herself.In Travelling,celebrated music critic Ann Powers seeks to understand the paradox of Mitchell - at once both elusive and inviting - through her myriad journeys. Drawing on extensive inter­views with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, Powers takes readers to rural Canada, charts the course of Mitchell's musical evolution, follows the winding road of Mitchell's collaborations with other greats and explores the loves that fed her songwriting.Kaleidoscopic in scope and intimate in detail, Travellingis a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell corpus - and one that questions whether an artist can ever truly be known to their fans.

Travelling

Frank Morrisons (geb. 1971, lebt in Atlanta) urbaner Manierismus feiert Widerstand und Würde im Alltag des Schwarzen Amerika. Der Künstler ist mit den strukturellen Ungerechtigkeiten Amerikas aufgewachsen und weiß aus Erfahrung, dass Kreativität und Gemeinschaftsgeist sich immer wieder gegen Ausgrenzung durchsetzen. Hip-Hop und Graffiti sind Widerstand. Statt die alten Geschichten vom Kampf zu erzählen, feiert dieses Buch die Schönheit, Erfindungsgabe und Kraft, die in unterprivilegierten Vierteln zuhause sind. Das Buch dokumentiert Morrisons Ausstellungen der letzten Jahre. Rahmensprengende Bilder verweben Erzählformen der Pop Art neu: eine explosive Hommage an die Schöpferkraft, die in marginalisierten Vierteln zu Hause ist.

Behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger's enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet's turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting. Monet said he was driven 'wild with the need to put down what I experience'. This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.

In the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Yet behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger's enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet's turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting. He was as obsessional in his love affairs as in his love of nature, and changed his art decisively three times when the woman at the centre of his life changed. His work also responded intensely to outside cataclysms - the Dreyfus Affair, the First World War. Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau was his closest friend. Rich intellectual currents connected him to writers from Zola to Proust; affection and rivalry to Renoir, Pissarro and Manet. Monet said he was driven 'wild with the need to put down what I experience'. This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.

Fasten your seatbelts, darlings, it's been one helluva ride. 'If there's a more enthralling celebrity memoir out this year, I'll eat my bowler hat.' The Times '[A] high-kicking hoofer of a book.' Telegraph 'A heady brew of gossip, glamour and defiance.' Guardian 'Brilliant and bonkers' The Mirror Liza Minnelli is one of the most iconic and enduring figures in entertainment history. Now, in her first and only memoir, Liza tells her story in her own words - and what a story it is. Born into Hollywood royalty, Liza was the daughter of legendary director Vincente Minnelli and the incomparable Judy Garland - and yet her beloved 'Mama's' brilliance was matched by searing personal battles, making her mother both an inspiration and, at times, a source of fear. In this deeply candid memoir, Liza pulls back the curtain on her extraordinary life, from her meteoric rise to Broadway and Hollywood stardom to the whirlwind of high-profile marriages and relationships, as well as the private heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages and lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder. As told her her most beloved confidant, music icon Michael Feinstein, Liza relives the liberated nights at Studio 54, the activism and friendships that shaped her - including the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Halston, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana - and the fearless way she defied conventions, embracing sexual fluidity and battling bigotry at a time of limited public understanding. But above all, as she turns 80 years old, Liza is reclaiming her truth, dispelling tabloid myths and setting the record straight with stories she's never shared before. Raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and unapologetically honest, this is a defiant celebration of self-belief, survival and humanity - proving once and for all why Liza remains one of the most captivating performers the world has ever known. Wilkommen to the world of Liza.

&nbsp;'Absorbing'&nbsp;Telegraph'Gentle, empathetic, committed to righting undeniable wrongs' Sunday Times,&nbsp;Book of the Week'Illuminating and affectionate... an intimate and perceptive portrait' Publishers Weekly An intimate and revelatory biography of Yoko Ono from bestselling author of&nbsp;Beautiful BoyDavid Sheff met Yoko Ono and John Lennon in 1980 when conducting an in-depth interview with them just months before John's murder.&nbsp;In the aftermath, Sheff and Yoko became close friends as she rebuilt her life, survived threats&nbsp;and continued creating groundbreaking art and music. Drawing from their decades-long friendship and interviews with Yoko, her family, close friends and collaborators, Sheff shares the story of one of the most unlikely and remarkable lives ever lived.Yoko&nbsp;spans from her birth to wealthy parents in pre-war Tokyo and her harrowing experience as a child during WW2 to her arrival in the avant-garde art scenes of London, Tokyo and New York. We see how she coped under the most intense, relentless&nbsp;and cynical microscope as she was falsely vilified for the most heinous cultural crime imaginable: breaking up the greatest rock-and-roll band in history.So often remembered only for her impact on The Beatles, Yoko has been caricatured as an opportunistic seductress or manipulative impostor.&nbsp;Yoko&nbsp;delves into her life as an artist, musician, feminist and activist, reframing her incredible achievements independent of Lennon.Yoko&nbsp;is a harrowing, moving, propulsive and vastly entertaining biography of a woman whose story has never been accurately told. It highlights Ono's incredible talent and acknowledges her as a true artistic icon.
