Focal Impulse Theory: Musical Expression Meter and the Body

Focal Impulse Theory: Musical Expression Meter and the Body

English | ISBN: 0253049954 | 2021 | 398 pages | PDF | 3 MB

Music is surrounded by movement, from the arching back of the guitarist to the violinist swaying with each bow stroke. To John Paul Ito, these actions are not just a visual display; rather, they reveal what it really means for musicians to move with the beat, organizing the flow of notes from beat to beat and shaping the sound produced. By developing "focal impulse theory," Ito shows how a performer's choices of how to move with the meter can transform the music's expressive contours. Change the dance of the performer's body, and you change the dance of the notes.

English | 2021 | ISBN: 0190070145 | 179 pages | True EPUB | 6 MB

The Logic of Filtering traces the profound impact of technical media on the sound of music, asking: how do media technologies shape sound? How does this affect music? And how did it change what we listen for in music? Since the invention of sound recording in the second half of the nineteenth century, media that transmit, record, store, and reproduce physical sound inspired dreams of perfect reproduction, but were also confronted with the inevitable introduction of noise.

Cigar Box Guitar Jazz & Blues Unlimited 3 String: Book Two: Chords Fingerstyle and Theory

English | 2019 | ASIN: B07YVHH33W | 103 pages | PDF | 7 MB

Play Jazz and Blues on the Cigar Box Guitar. Learning to play jazz and blues on the cigar box guitar is simultaneously easy and difficult. Easy because you only have 3 or 4 strings to worry about so fewer options than a standard 6 string guitar. Difficult because getting good full-sounding chords with 3 or 4 strings in GDG or GDGB tuning often requires bigger stretches for chords or large skips up and down the neck to play all the notes. The good news is that with consistent practice, it is possible to overcome any difficulties and play jazz and blues on the cigar box guitar with satisfying results!

Music by Numbers: The Use and Abuse of Statistics in the Music Industries

English | 2021 | ISBN:178938253X | 280 pages | True (PDF, EPUB) | 8 MB

The music industries are fueled by statistics: sales targets, breakeven points, success ratios, royalty splits, website hits, ticket revenues, listener figures, piracy abuses, and big data. Statistics are of consequence. They influence the music that consumers get to hear, they determine the revenues of music makers, and they shape the policies of governments and legislators. Yet many of these statistics are generated by the music industries themselves, and their accuracy can be questioned. Music by Numbers sets out to explore this shadowy terrain.
