This is Your Brain on Music
Author: Daniel Levitin
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0241987369
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
From the author of The Changing Mind and The Organized Mind comes a New York Times bestseller that unravels the mystery of our perennial love affair with music ***** 'What do the music of Bach, Depeche Mode and John Cage fundamentally have in common?' Music is an obsession at the heart of human nature, even more fundamental to our species than language. From Mozart to the Beatles, neuroscientist, psychologist and internationally-bestselling author Daniel Levitin reveals the role of music in human evolution, shows how our musical preferences begin to form even before we are born and explains why music can offer such an emotional experience. In This Is Your Brain On Music Levitin offers nothing less than a new way to understand music, and what it can teach us about ourselves. ***** 'Music seems to have an almost wilful, evasive quality, defying simple explanation, so that the more we find out, the more there is to know . . . Daniel Levitin's book is an eloquent and poetic exploration of this paradox' Sting 'You'll never hear music in the same way again' Classic FM magazine 'Music, Levitin argues, is not a decadent modern diversion but something of fundamental importance to the history of human development' Literary Review

Memory Babe
Author: Gerald Nicosia
Publisher: Barrytown Limited
ISBN: 9781581772043
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 860
Book Description
When MEMORY BABE first appeared from Grove Press in 1983, LIBRARY JOURNAL wrote: "To call this book the definitive Kerouac biography is an understatement ... [it is] all-inclusive and richly detailed. The reader's immersion in Kerouac's thoughts, moves, and mess-ups is so total that one cannot but feel a great empathy for him ...." USA TODAY wrote: "MEMORY BABE is the most relentlessly and thoroughly researched of the Kerouac biographies ... There is a day-to-day tracing of Kerouac's thoughts and movements astonishing in its exactitude." In the new, revised and updated version, Gerald Nicosia builds on his landmark text, using a wide range of sources that have only become available in the past quarter century, since the book was last published by University of California Press in 1994. The new edition contains hundreds of changes from the last edition. Some of these are merely corrections, a name or date changed, but there are also extensive new passages based on material that has come to light since 1994. As just some examples, the book contains new material on Kerouac's ancestry; on his relationship with his mother and his last wife Stella Sampas; on some of his dark sides, such as his anti-Semitism; on the ways Kerouac was influenced by Neal Cassady's infamous "Joan Anderson Letter"; on what Kerouac wished for and saw as his legacy; and on the details of his death. Nicosia also tries to define more precisely Kerouac's role in pioneering the postmodern novel. MEMORY BABE is still the only critical biography of Kerouac--still the only book that examines in detail his literary output and attempts to analyze just what his literary innovations and achievements were. This new, revised and updated version is an even more accurate and comprehensive look at the Father of the Beat Generation, his life, his oeuvre, and his legacy.

Brian Eno
Author: Eric Enno Tamm
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 9780306806490
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Musician, composer, producer: Brian Eno is unique in contemporary music. Best known in recent years for producing U2's sensational albums, Eno began his career as a synthesizer player for Roxy Music. He has since released many solo albums, both rock and ambient, written music for film and television soundtracks, and collaborated with David Bowie, David Byrne, Robert Fripp, and classical and experimental composers. His pioneering ambient sound has been enormously influential, and without him today's rock would have a decidedly different sound. Drawing on Eno's own words to examine his influences and ideas, this book—featuring a new afterword and an updated discography and bibliography—will long remain provocative and definitive.

No Medium
Author: Craig Dworkin
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262312719
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Close readings of ostensibly “blank” works—from unprinted pages to silent music—that point to a new understanding of media. In No Medium, Craig Dworkin looks at works that are blank, erased, clear, or silent, writing critically and substantively about works for which there would seem to be not only nothing to see but nothing to say. Examined closely, these ostensibly contentless works of art, literature, and music point to a new understanding of media and the limits of the artistic object. Dworkin considers works predicated on blank sheets of paper, from a fictional collection of poems in Jean Cocteau's Orphée to the actual publication of a ream of typing paper as a book of poetry; he compares Robert Rauschenberg's Erased De Kooning Drawing to the artist Nick Thurston's erased copy of Maurice Blanchot's The Space of Literature (in which only Thurston's marginalia were visible); and he scrutinizes the sexual politics of photographic representation and the implications of obscured or obliterated subjects of photographs. Reexamining the famous case of John Cage's 4'33”, Dworkin links Cage's composition to Rauschenberg's White Paintings, Ken Friedman's Zen for Record (and Nam June Paik's Zen for Film), and other works, offering also a “guide to further listening” that surveys more than 100 scores and recordings of “silent” music. Dworkin argues that we should understand media not as blank, base things but as social events, and that there is no medium, understood in isolation, but only and always a plurality of media: interpretive activities taking place in socially inscribed space.
