Splice Country Silver Dollar Special - Classic Country Rock WAV-FANTASTiC screenshot
FANTASTiC | 27 October 2024 | 1021.35 MB
This pack was influenced by the late 1960s/early '70s Southern California country rock pioneers like Buffalo Springfield, Allman Brothers Band, and Gram Parsons. These sounds capture the 'back to basics' style employed to bridge the gap and blur the lines between rock & roll and good 'ole country, adding some twang to rock and edge to country.

FANTASTiC | 27 October 2024 | 733.96 MB
In "Dust Bowl - Vintage Country", we brought you samples inspired by the Bakersfield Sound, Outlaw Country, and more. In "Classic Country Rock", we focused on the 'back to the basics' sounds of late 1960s Southern California country rock pioneers like Buffalo Springfield, Allman Brothers Band, and Gram Parsons. In this "California Country" pack, we've pulled a little from column A, a little from column B, and then sprinkled a generous heaping of sparkling psychedelic sound dust throughout. For a country sound with a trippy edge, this pack delivers.

The Daily Adventures of Mixerman screenshot
2009 | ISBN: 0879309458 | English | 440 pages | EPUB/PDF | 1 MB
Mixerman is a recording engineer working with a famous producer on the debut album of an unknown band with a giant recording budget. Mixerman is supposed to be writing about recording techniques, but somehow, through that prism, he has hit upon a gripping story. Like all great narratives, Mixerman's diary has many anti-heroes for whom we, the readers, can have nothing but contempt. The band consists of the four most dislikable human beings you can imagine. The singer is vain and pretentious. The guitarist is a serious depressive. The drummer is as "dumb as cotton," and the bassist is merely mean and petty, making him the only one that Mixerman can stand. All four of them hate each other's guts, and they haven't even been on tour yet. Mixerman takes you through the recording process of a bidding war band in over their heads with a famous record producer (also in over his head). Many find Mixerman's diary entries side-splittingly funny. Some find them maddening. And a select few feel they are the most despicable accountings of record-making ever documented.

Blue Notes: Jazz, Literature, and Loneliness screenshot
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0807171239, 0807172243 | True EPUB | 200 pages | 2 MB
Jazz can be uplifting, stimulating, sensual, and spiritual. Yet when writers turn to this form of music, they almost always imagine it in terms of loneliness. In Blue Notes: Jazz, Literature, and Loneliness, Sam V. H. Reese investigates literary representations of jazz and the cultural narratives often associated with it, noting how they have, in turn, shaped readers' judgments and assumptions about the music.

The Band: Pioneers of Americana Music screenshot
English | 2017 | ISBN: 0810895013 | 224 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
At a time when Acid Rock and Heavy Metal dominated popular music, The Band rebelled against the rebellion with a masterful mix of tight ensemble arrangements, great vocals, highly literate lyricism, and a respect for the musical traditions of the American South. Comprising Canadians Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Garth Hudson, and Arkansas-born Levon Helm, The Band sparked a new appreciation for America’s musical roots, fusing R&B, jump blues, country, folk, boogie-woogie, swing, Cajun, New Orleans-style jazz, and rock, and setting the foundations for the Americana craze that would take hold 30 years later.

Comparing Notes: How We Make Music by Adam Ockelford EPUB screenshot
2018 | Pegasus Books | ISBN: 9781681777443 | 15.5 MB | 332 Pages | EPUB
How does music work? Indeed, what is (or isn’t) music? We are all instinctively musical, but why? Adam Ockelford has the answers.
A tap of the foot, a rush of emotion, the urge to hum a tune; without instruction or training we all respond intuitively to music. Comparing Notes explores what music is, why all of us are musical, and how abstract patterns of sound that might not appear to mean anything can, in fact, be so meaningful.

Musicage: Cage Muses on Words, Art, Music by John Cage EPUB screenshot
2012 | Wesleyan University Press | ISBN: 9780819571861 | 9.91 MB | 408 Pages | EPUB
I was obliged to find a radical way to work -- to get at the real, at the root of the matter,"" John Cage says in this trio of dialogues, completed just days before his death. His quest for the root of the matter led him beyond the bounds of the conventional in all his musical, written, and visual pieces. The resulting expansion of the definition of art -- with its concomitant emphasis on innovation and invention--earned him a reputation as one of America's most influential contemporary artists. Joan Retallack's conversations with Cage represent the first consideration of his artistic production in its entirety, across genres. Informed by the perspective of age, Cage's comments range freely from his theories of chance and indeterminate composition to his long-time collaboration with Merce Cunningham to the aesthetics of his multimedia works.

English Cathedral Music and Liturgy in the Twentieth Century screenshot
English | ISBN: 1472426304 | 2015 | 284 pages | PDF | 1 MB
This book examines the stylistic development of English cathedral music during a period of liturgical upheaval, looking at the attitudes of cathedral clergy, liturgists, composers, leading church music figures and organisations to music and liturgy. Arguments that were advanced for retaining an archaic style in cathedral music are considered, including the linking of musical style with liturgical language, the recommending of a subservient role for music in the liturgy, and the development of a language of fittingness to describe church music.

Music and Musicians in the Medieval Islamicate World: A Social History screenshot
2021 | ISBN: 1784539546 | English | 296 pages | PDF | 11 MB
During the early medieval Islamicate period (800"1400 CE), discourses concerned with music and musicians were wide-ranging and contentious, and expressed in works on music theory and philosophy as well as literature and poetry. But in spite of attempts by influential scholars and political leaders to limit or control musical expression, music and sound permeated all layers of the social structure.

Team ASSiGN | 25 DECEMBER 2010 | 8.79 MB
bassbomb is a monophonic bass synthesizer focused on creating a wide range of bass sounds from punchy to chunky via squelchy and fat with a sprinkling of dirt on top. It does everything from dubstep wobble, electro house dirt, funky bounce, breakbeat dirt, hip hop boom, acid squelch and more besides. As well as bass lines it's also happy banging out kick drums and bass drops, with a pure sine sub osc to really nail that low end.

Myth and Magic in Heavy Metal Music screenshot
English | ISBN: 1476673357 | 2018 | 210 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Myth pervades heavy metal. With visual elements drawn from medieval and horror cinema, the genre's themes of chaos, dissidence and alienation transmit an image of Promethean rebellion against the conventional. In dialogue with the modern world, heavy metal draws imaginatively on myth and folklore to construct an aesthetic and worldview embraced by a vast global audience. The author explores the music of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica and many others from a mythological and literary perspective.

Music in Religious Cults of the Ancient Near East by John Arthur Smith EPUB screenshot
2020 | Routledge | ISBN: 9780367486334 | 2.37 MB | 220 Pages | EPUB
Music in Religious Cults of the Ancient Near East presents the first extended discussion of the relationship between music and cultic worship in ancient western Asia. The book covers ancient Israel and Judah, the Levant, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Elam, and ancient Egypt, focusing on the period from approximately 3000 BCE to around 586 BCE. This wide-ranging book brings together insights from ancient archaeological, iconographic, written, and musical sources, as well as from modern scholarship. Through careful analysis, comparison, and evaluation of those sources, the author builds a picture of a world where religious culture was predominant and where music was intrinsic to common cultic activity.
