The Cambridge Companion to Women in Music since 1900 screenshot
English | ISBN: 1108455786 | 2021 | 356 pages | EPUB | 1 MB
This Companion explores women's work in music since 1900 across a broad range of musical genres and professions, including the classical tradition, popular music, and music technology. The crucial contribution of women to music education and the music industries features alongside their activity as composers and performers. The book considers the gendered nature of the musical profession, in areas including access to training, gendered criticism, sexualization, and notions of 'gender appropriate' roles or instruments. It covers a wide range of women musicians, such as Marin Alsop, Grace Williams, Billie Holiday, Joni Mitchell and Adele. Each thematic section concludes with a contribution from a practitioner in her own words, reflecting upon the impact of gender on her own career. Chapters include suggestions for further reading on each of the topics covered, providing an invaluable resource for students of Feminist Musicology, Women in Music, and Music and Gender.

Microsound by Curtis Roads (PDF/ named AIFF) screenshot
16/595MB | TruePDF/AIFF | named AIFF files | 423p | Curtis Roads | MIT Press | 2001
Below the level of the musical note lies the realm of microsound, of sound particles lasting less than one-tenth of a second. Recent technological advances allow us to probe and manipulate these pinpoints of sound, dissolving the traditional building blocks of musicā€”notes and their intervalsā€”into a more fluid and supple medium. The sensations of point, pulse (series of points), line (tone), and surface (texture) emerge as particle density increases.

With every hit recorded at 24-bit for maximum sonic clarity, the sounds are formed by carefully blending the transient portion of live kicks and synth fx with the low-end boom and punch of classic dance kicks and passing the end result through an array of analogue compression and summing. The result will inspire any rhythmic track irrespective of genre.

Popular Music and Human Rights: 2 volume set screenshot
English | ISBN: 0754668525 | 2011 | 224 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Popular music has long understood that human rights, if attainable at all, involve a struggle without end. The right to imagine an individual will, the right to some form of self-determination and the right to self-legislation have long been at the forefront of popular music's approach to human rights. At a time of such uncertainty and confusion, with human rights currently being violated all over the world, a new and sustained examination of cultural responses to such issues is warranted.
