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!

Absolute Music Mechanical Reproduction screenshot
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0520264797, 0520264800, 9780520264793, 9780520264809, B003WQAMWU | 336 Pages | PDF | 1.64 MB
Recordings are now the primary way we hear classical music, especially the more abstract styles of “absolute” instrumental music. In this original, provocative book, Arved Ashby argues that recording technology has transformed our understanding of art music. Contesting the laments of nostalgic critics, Ashby sees recordings as socially progressive and instruments of a musical vernacular, but also finds that recording and absolute music actually involve similar notions of removing sound from context.

Music and Riddle Culture in the Renaissance screenshot
2015 | ISBN-10: 1107082293 | 548 pages | PDF | 8.41 MB
Throughout the Renaissance, composers often expressed themselves in a language of riddles and puzzles, which they embedded within the music and lyrics of their compositions. This is the first book on the theory, practice and cultural context of musical riddles during the period. Katelijne Schiltz focuses on the compositional, notational, practical, social and theoretical aspects of musical riddle culture c.1450–1620, from the works of Antoine Busnoys, Jacob Obrecht and Josquin des Prez to Lodovico Zacconi's manuscript collection of Canoni musicali.

Absolute Music - The History of an Idea screenshot
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0199343632 | 400 Pages | PDF |14 MB
What is music, and why does it move us? From Pythagoras to the present, writers have struggled to isolate the essence of "pure" or "absolute" music in ways that also account for its profound effect. In Absolute Music: The History of an Idea, Mark Evan Bonds traces the history of these efforts across more than two millennia, paying special attention to the relationship between music's essence and its qualities of form, expression, beauty, autonomy, as well as its perceived capacity to disclose philosophical truths.

Playing in the Cathedral -  Music, Race, and Status in New Spain screenshot
English | ISBN: 0190236817 | 2016 | 248 pages | PDF | 23 MB
Throughout Spanish colonial America, limpieza de sangre (literally, "purity of blood ") determined an individual's status within the complex system of social hierarchy called casta. Within this socially stratified culture, those individuals at the top were considered to have the highest calidad-an all-encompassing estimation of a person's social status. At the top of the social pyramid were the Peninsulares: Spaniards born in Spain, who controlled most of the positions of power within the colonial governments and institutions.

Holy Treasure and Sacred Song: Relic Cults and their Liturgies in Medieval Tuscany screenshot
2014 | ISBN: 019935135X | English | 320 pages | PDF | 8 MB
In the Middle Ages, relic cults provoked rich expressions of devotion not only in hagiographic literature and visual art but also in liturgical music and ritual. Despite the long-recognized inter-play between these diverse media, historians of the period rarely integrate analysis of sacred music into their research on other modes of worship espoused by relic cults. Holy Treasure and Sacred Song situates this oft-neglected yet critical domain of religious life at the center of an examination of relic cults in medieval Tuscany.
