Splice Country Nashville Essentials - Modern Country (WAV) screenshot
27/10/2024 | WAV | 1130 MB
What kind of country music sample label would this be if we didn't dedicate a pack to Music City? Home of country music, Nashville, Tennesee's foundation is deeply rooted in musical tradition. It became a national center for music publishing in the 1800s and the Ryman Auditorium - the “Carnegie Hall of the South” - was built in 1892. Throughout the decades since, Nashville's music scene has evolved, morphed, and spun off several sub-genres and styles of country music. With roots so deep, however, there will always be a certain sound associated with Music City, and this pack captures it.

Sonus Paradisi - Klavichord Model (HAUPTWERK) screenshot
P2P | 26 October 2024 | 570.7 MB
A clavichord is a chordophone instrument. This means that its sound is produced by vibration of the strings hit by metal blades called "tangents" which are operated by a key. The longer the string is, the lower tone it gives. One end of the string is hard attached to an resonator (soundboard). The other end is attached to the opposite edge of the instrument case. The tangent is located under the string somewhere in between its two ends. When you press the key, the tangent strikes the key and sticks to it making itself one of the oscilation nodes (nut). The tangent sticks to the string as long as the key is held. When you release the key, the tangent leaves the string and its oscilations therefore stop - the tone mutes. There are two basic types of a clavichord. Unfretted type: each tone has its own string. Fretted type: a single string is there for two (or three) neighbouring keys (limiting the polyphony). Usually, the strings are available in pairs to give stronger sound. As the tangent strikes the string in the node producing only light oscilations, it cannot give loud sound.

Music by Max Steiner: The Epic Life of Hollywood's Most Influential Composer by Steven C. Smith EPUB screenshot
2020 | Oxford University Press | ISBN: 9780190623272 | 57.4 MB | 496 Pages | EPUB
During a seven-decade career that spanned from 19th century Vienna to 1920s Broadway to the golden age of Hollywood, three-time Academy Award winner Max Steiner did more than any other composer to introduce and establish the language of film music. Indeed, revered contemporary film composers like John Williams and Danny Elfman use the same techniques that Steiner himself perfected in his iconic work for such classics as Casablanca, King Kong, Gone with the Wind, The Searchers, Now, Voyager, the Astaire-Rogers musicals, and over 200 other titles. And Steiner's private life was a drama all its own. Born into a legendary Austrian theatrical dynasty, he became one of Hollywood's top-paid composers. But he was also constantly in debt--the inevitable result of gambling, financial mismanagement, four marriages, and the actions of his emotionally troubled son.

Birds of Fire: Jazz, Rock, Funk, and the Creation of Fusion by Kevin Fellezs PDF screenshot
2011 | Duke University Press | ISBN: 9780822394389 | 2.01 MB | 312 Pages | PDF
Birds of Fire brings overdue critical attention to fusion, a musical idiom that emerged as young musicians blended elements of jazz, rock, and funk in the late 1960s and 1970s. At the time, fusion was disparaged by jazz writers and ignored by rock critics. In the years since, it has come to be seen as a commercially driven jazz substyle. Fusion never did coalesce into a genre. In Birds of Fire, Kevin Fellezs contends that hybridity was its reason for being.

In Search of a Concrete Music by Pierre Schaeffer PDF screenshot
2012 | University of California Press | ISBN: 9780520265745 | 7.09 MB | 244 Pages | PDF
Pierre Schaeffer’s In Search of a Concrete Music (À la recherche d’une musique concrète) has long been considered a classic text in electroacoustic music and sound recording. Now Schaeffer’s pioneering work—at once a journal of his experiments in sound composition and a treatise on the raison d’être of “concrete music”—is available for the first time in English translation. Schaeffer’s theories have had a profound influence on composers working with technology.

Sweet Anticipation: Music and the Psychology of Expectation by David Huron EPUB screenshot
2006 | MIT Press | ISBN: 9780262083454 | 1.64 MB | 480 Pages | EPUB

These efforts evolved into a general theory of expectation that will prove informative to readers interested in cognitive science and evolutionary psychology as well as those interested in music. The book describes a set of psychological mechanisms and illustrates how these mechanisms work in the case of music. All examples of notated music can be heard on the Web.

Bridge of Waves: What Music Is and How Listening to It Changes the World by W. A. Mathieu EPUB screenshot
2010 | Shambhala | ISBN: 9781590307328 | 522 KB | 320 Pages | EPUB
Music is, in one sense, merely a series of fleeting vibrations that arise and subside. How could it be that something so insubstantial fills us, and calms us, and makes us weep? Because, says W. A. Mathieu, music bridges mind and heart, self and other, and affirms our place in the world. Everyone uses the bridge of music, from casual listeners to devoted professionals. Mathieu's delightful and trenchant prose asks you to question what music is, how it works, and how to understand its value in your life, in the life of your community, and in the evolution of the cosmos.

Philosophers On Music: Experience, Meaning, and Work by Kathleen Stock PDF screenshot
2007 | Oxford University Press | ISBN: 9780199213344 | 1.97 MB | 236 Pages | PDF
Philosophers on Music: Experience, Meaning, and Work presents significant new contributions to central issues in the philosophy of music, written by leading philosophers working in the analytic tradition. The issues tackled include: the question of what sort of thing a work of music is; the nature of the relation between a musical work and versions of it; the nature of musical expression and its contribution to musical experience; the relation of music to metaphor; the nature of musical irony; the musical status of electro-sonic art; and the nature of musical rhythm. Aestheticians, musicologists, music practitioners, and those interested in philosophy generally will find the papers in this volume rewarding reading.

Music, Art, & Metaphysics: Essays in Philosophical Aesthetics by Jerrold Levinson EPUB screenshot
2011 | Oxford University Press | ISBN: 9780199596638 | 18.2 MB | 440 Pages | EPUB
This is a long-awaited reissue of Jerrold Levinson's 1990 book Music, Art, and Metaphysics, which gathers together the writings that made him a leading figure in contemporary aesthetics. Most of the essays are distinguished by a concern with metaphysical questions about artworks and their properties, but other essays address the problem of art's definition, the psychology of aesthetic response, and the logic of interpreting and evaluating works of art. The focus of about half of the essays is the art of music, the art of greatest interest to Levinson throughout his career. Many of the essays have been very influential, being among the most cited in contemporary aesthetics and having become essential references in debates on the definition of art, the ontology of art, emotional response to art, expression in art, and the nature of art forms.

Sound and Sense: Music and Musical Metaphor in the Thought and Writing of Goethe and his Age by J.M. Tudor PDF screenshot
2011 | Peter Lang | ISBN: 9783035301328 | 3.55 MB | 515 Pages | PDF
This study focuses on beliefs about music current in eighteenth-century Germany. Of particular interest are the conceptual metaphors through which major writers (Goethe, Schiller, Herder and Klopstock) used music as analogy and medium for perceptions of the world in their writing. The book surveys traditional metaphors (music as harmony/disharmony, music as like/unlike language, music as structured by mathematical proportion or by rhythm) inherited from Greek and French thought and looks at ways in which these writers also assimilated and developed contemporary ideas (especially from Leibniz, the French Rationalists, Rameau and Rousseau).
