ML Sound Lab Andro 64 Reflex IR Pack WAV screenshot
AudioZ Exclusive | 5 November 2024 | 20 MB
Reflex IRs are raw and unprocessed captures that are naturally mix-ready. It has become common practice to rely on post-processing guitar tones and simply accepting the flaws in guitar cabinet design. The reality is that traditional guitar cabs are not optimized for miking up but for loud stage use while a modern guitarist's first priority is a high quality miked up guitar tone. Reflex IRs are ML Sounds Lab's FRFR IR solution. We take exquisite examples from our vast guitar speaker collection and maximize their their unfiltered tonal character in a neutral guitar cab optimized for miking up.

2017 | Oxford University Press | ISBN: 9780199928200 | 7.99 MB | 240 Pages | PDF
Novice music teachers and music education students struggle to form an identity that synthesizes 'musician' with 'music teacher,' and to separate themselves from their prior experiences to think critically about music-making and music instruction. Throughout this text, readers are encouraged to both reject and reflect upon their prior experience and are provided with new frameworks of understanding about both music-making and music instruction, as they form a new personal philosophy of musicianship and pedagogy. Ultimately, the purpose of this text is to provide foundational knowledge for subsequent learning as students become both musician and music pedagogue.

Musical Stimulacra: Literary Narrative and the Urge to Listen by Ivan Delazari PDF screenshot
2020 | Routledge | ISBN: 9780367688189 | 10.5 MB | 188 Pages | PDF
The title coinage of this book, stimulacra, refers to the fundamental capacity of literary narrative to stimulate our minds and senses by simulating things through words. Musical stimulacra are passages of fiction that readers are empowered to transpose into mental simulations of music. The book theorizes how fiction can generate musical experience, explains what constitutes that experience, and explores the musical dimensions of three American novels: William T. Vollmann’s Europe Central (2005), William H. Gass’s Middle C (2013), and Richard Powers’s Orfeo (2014).

Musical Illusions and Phantom Words: How Music and Speech Unlock Mysteries of the Brain by Diana Deutsch PDF screenshot
2019 | Oxford University Press | ISBN: 9780190206833 | 27.09 MB | 272 Pages | PDF
In this ground-breaking synthesis of art and science, Diana Deutsch, one of the world's leading experts on the psychology of music, shows how illusions of music and speech--many of which she herself discovered--have fundamentally altered thinking about the brain. These astonishing illusions show that people can differ strikingly in how they hear musical patterns--differences that reflect variations in brain organization as well as influences of language on music perception.

Sacred Sound: Discovering the Myth and Meaning of Mantra and Kirtan by Alanna Kaivalya, Dave Stringer and Christopher Yeazel EPUB screenshot
2014 | New World Library | ISBN: 9781608682430 | 2.07 MB | 232 Pages | EPUB
The mantras and kirtan (call and response devotional chants) of yogic practice sometimes get the short shrift in the West because they aren't well understood. These chants are an integral part of most every Eastern spiritual practice because they are designed to provide access into the psyche while their underlying mythology helps us understand how our psychology affects daily life. Sacred Sound shares the myths behind the mantras, illuminating their meaning and putting their power and practicality within reach of every practitioner. Each mantra and kirtan includes the Sanskrit, the transliteration, and the translation.
