CRANKDAT "Crazy Lead" Ableton Rack-FANTASTiC  screenshot
FANTASTiC | 14 April 2024 | 15 KB
made this rack a few weeks ago and wanted to really beat it in before giving to you guys. I think it is sick. I use this rack to give that raw detune feel to some of my leads that need it. Try using this rack with random serum/wavetable wavetables and hear how it translates every sound differently - lots of fun! hope you guys love it

FANTASTiC | 14 April 2024 | 10 KB
here's a rack I made that is ridiculously useful - mid side separator separates your mids from your sides and can boost or ott each according to what your mix needs. i use this rack in literally every project as of lately and it's ridiculous how helpful it is. if the sound isn't present enough in mono, just turn up the mid gain and boom problem solved. no third party plugs required!

Visible Deeds of Music: Art and Music from Wagner to Cage by Simon Shaw-Miller screenshot
English | Publisher: Yale University Press, 2002 | 305 Pages | PDF | 1,3 MB
This thoughtful and provocative book explores the relationship between music and the visual arts in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing on the modernist period. Reassessing the work of composers and artists such as Richard Wagner, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Josef Matthias Hauer, and John Cage, Simon Shaw-Miller argues that despite modernism's advocacy of media purity and separation, the boundaries between art and music were permeable at this time, as they have been throughout history.

The String Quartets of Beethoven by William Kinderman screenshot
English | Publisher: University of Illinois Press, 2006 | 360 Pages | PDF | 5 MB
"We do not understand music–it understands us." This aphorism by Theodor W. Adorno expresses that quandary and fascination many listeners have felt in approaching Beethoven's late quartets. No group of compositions occupies a more central position in chamber music, yet the meaning of these works continues to stimulate debate.

Music as Thought: Listening to the Symphony in the Age of Beethoven by Mark Evan Bonds screenshot
English | Publisher: Princeton University Press, 2006 | 192 Pages | PDF | 2,3 MB
Before the nineteenth century, instrumental music was considered inferior to vocal music. Kant described wordless music as "more pleasure than culture," and Rousseau dismissed it for its inability to convey concepts. But by the early 1800s, a dramatic shift was under way. Purely instrumental music was now being hailed as a means to knowledge and embraced precisely because of its independence from the limits of language. What had once been perceived as entertainment was heard increasingly as a vehicle of thought. Listening had become a way of knowing.

Music and the Modern Condition: Investigating the Boundaries by Ljubica Ilic screenshot
English | Publisher: Routledge, 2010 | 132 Pages | PDF | 2,8 MB
Two crucial moments in the formation and disintegration of musical modernity and the musical canon occurred at the turn of the seventeenth and the first half of the twentieth century. Dr Ljubica Ilic provides a fresh and close look at these moments, exploring the ways musical compositions shift to and away from ideological structures identified with modernity. The focus is on European art music whose grand narrative, defined by tonality and teleological development, begins in the seventeenth century and ends with twentieth-century modernisms.
