Gio Israel Persian Essentials Percussion WAV Beatmaker Presets
The Persian Essentials series by Gio Israel exposes the hidden sounds of ancient Persian music.
The history of musical development in Iran dates back thousands of years and expands through various neighboring cultures, making it one of the richest and most influential musical regions of the old world. Iran’s classical music continues to function as a spiritual tool, as it has throughout history, and much less of a recreational activity, as it’s rich in complexity, melodic motions, scales, and tunes.
In this pack, we present two fundamental Middle Eastern traditional percussion instruments: The ancient frame drum Daf (or Dafif) and the goblet drum known as the Tombak (Persian:تمبک), tonbak (تنبک), orzarb. Learn more about these instruments in the accompanying story below.
Musicians who played on this pack include Eitan Refua, Yaron Cherniak,and Yoni Ben Dor:
Produced by Honduran American musician Erick Bardales in Los Angeles explores the connections between various genres of Latin music with a strong focus on Mexican cumbia reggaeton. This pack was performed and recorded remotely by Tegucigalpa, Honduras-based composer and producer Jorge Ulloa on guitar and piano, and Nashville, TN-based Venezuelan percussionist Manuel “Manotas” Ramirez on gon bops along with engineer Gibran Sponchiado.
The three musicians blended their love for vallenato – a genre of popular Colombian folk music – with Mexican cumbia and modern reggaeton pop to craft an authentic entry point for producers interested in creating cumbia reggaeton music.
This pack was recorded using a wide variety of instruments from acoustic instruments like a Taylor GS Mini E Rosewood and a Les Paul Epiphone Ukulele to electric guitars such as a Fender Telecaster 1978 Sunburst and Gibson SG, plus Ramirez’s gon bops. The performed samples were processed using an Apollo X4, Universal Audio’s analog emulation UAD plugins, Ableton live 11, Plugin Alliance plugins, and Output Thermal.
Materializing Digital Futures: Touch, Movement, Sound & Vision PDF
Digital, visual media are found in most aspects of everyday life, from workplaces to household devices – computer and digital television screens, appliances such as refrigerators and home assistants, and applications for social media and gaming. Each technologically enabled opportunity brings an increasingly sophisticated language with the act of pursuing the intrasensorial ways of perceiving the world around us – through touch, movement, sound and vision – that is the heart of screen media use and audience engagement with digital artifacts.
Drawing on digital media’s currently evolving transformation and transforming capacity this book builds a story of the multiple processes in robotics and AI, virtual reality, creative image and sound production, the representation of data and creative practice. Issues around commodification, identity, identification, and political economy are critically examined for the emerging and affecting encounters and perceptions that are brought to bear.
Since 1973, Queen have captivated listeners through the intense sonic palette of voices and guitars, the sprawling and epic journeys of songs, and charismatic splendour of their live performances. Rock and Rhapsodies is the first book to undertake a musicological study of the band’s output, with a fundamental aim of discovering what, exactly, gave Queen’s songs their magical and distinct musical identity. Focusing on the material written, recorded, and released between 1973 and 1991, author Nick Braae provides readers with an in-depth and nuanced analytical account of the group’s individual musical style (or “idiolect”), and illuminates the multifaceted stylistic and historical contexts in which Queen’s music was created. Aspects of Queen’s songs are also used as a springboard for exploring a range of further analytical and discursive issues: the nature of a musical style; the conceptual relationship between an artist, style, and genre; form in popular songs; and the character and identity of a singing voice.
Following an introduction and “primer” on Queen’s idiolect, Rock and Rhapsodies presents ten further chapters, each of which offers a snapshot of a particular musical element (form, the voice), a particular subset of repertoire (Freddie Mercury’s large-scale 1970s songs), or a particular era (post-1991), thus painting a rich overall picture of both the band’s history and their ongoing presence in popular culture. Along the way, there is an underlying focus on interrogating and substantiating the themes and ideas that emerge from the writing, documentaries and other media on Queen, using a variety of analytical tools and close readings of songs, to demonstrate how aspects of critical reception align (or not) with musical details. Rock and Rhapsodies will reward any reader who has been enchanted by the myriad and complex musical components that make up any Queen song.
Deleuze and Music is the first volume to explore Deleuze’s ideas from the perspective of music and sound. Music is central to Deleuze’s work from Difference and Repetition and the Logic of Sense to Kafka: Towards a Minor Literature and A Thousand Plateaus (both written with Félix Guattari), music and sound-based problems contribute a great deal to the originality and singularity of his thought.
The essays in this volume explore a variety of these problems and their relevance to key debates in a number of areas including ethics, aesthetics, politics, epistemology and the history of ideas. They collectively demonstrate how music functions in Deleuze’s work, exploring how at key stages in his thought ideas of melody, rhythm, harmony, counterpoint and the refrain provide the frame of reference for his immanent ontology, his Spinozist ethology and his (and Guattari’s) politics of the ‘people yet to come’. Furthermore, they show how music proves the exemplary medium for further exploring and developing his ‘rhizomatic’ conception of thought.
The volume provides a much-needed addition to the growing body of secondary work on Deleuze and will be of interest to students and researchers working across a diverse range of disiciplines, including philosophy and cultural and critical theory as well as art history, musicology and ethnomusicology.
Features:
The first book on Deleuze in relation to music covering all of the key Deleuzian texts
Covers different types of music, jazz, pop music, electronic music, heavy metal and improvised music
Demonstrate how music functions in Deleuze’s work, exploring how ideas of melody, rhythm, harmony, counterpoint and the refrain shape his philosophical thinking
Music as Philosophy: Adorno & Beethoven’s Late Style PDF
Beethoven’s late style is the language of his ninth symphony, the Missa Solemnis, the last piano sonatas and string quartets, the Diabelli Variations, the Bagatelles, as well as five piano sonatas, five string quartets, and several smaller piano works. Historically, these works are seen as forging a bridge between the Classical and Romantic traditions: in terms of their musical structure, they continue to be regarded as revolutionary.
Spitzer’s book examines these late works in light of the musical and philosophical writings of the German intellectual Theodor Adorno, and in so doing, attempts to reconcile the conflicting approaches of musical semiotics and critical theory. He draws from various approaches to musical, linguistic, and aesthetic meaning, relating Adorno to such writers as Derrida, Benjamin, and Habermas, as well as contemporary music theorists. Through analyses of Beethoven’s use of specific musical techniques (including neo-Baroque fugues and counterpoint), Spitzer suggests that the composer’s last works offer a philosophical and musical critique of the Enlightenment, and in doing so created the musical language of premodernism.
