The Oxford Handbook of Sound Studies PDF

The Oxford Handbook of Sound Studies PDF

Written by the world’s leading scholars and researchers in the emerging field of sound studies, The Oxford Handbook of Sound Studies offers new and fully engaging perspectives on the significance of sound in its material and cultural forms. The book considers sounds and music as experienced in such diverse settings as shop floors, laboratories, clinics, design studios, homes, and clubs, across an impressively broad range of historical periods and national and cultural contexts.

Science has traditionally been understood as a visual matter, a study which has historically been undertaken with optical technologies such as slides, graphs, and telescopes. This book questions that notion powerfully by showing how listening has contributed to scientific practice. Sounds have always been a part of human experience, shaping and transforming the world in which we live in ways that often go unnoticed. Sounds and music, the authors argue, are embedded in the fabric of everyday life, art, commerce, and politics in ways which impact our perception of the world. Through an extraordinarily diverse set of case studies, authors illustrate how sounds — from the sounds of industrialization, to the sounds of automobiles, to sounds in underwater music and hip-hop, to the sounds of nanotechnology — give rise to new forms listening practices. In addition, the book discusses the rise of new public problems such as noise pollution, hearing loss, and the “end” of the amateur musician that stem from the spread and appropriation of new sound- and music-related technologies, analog and digital, in many domains of life.

Rich in vivid and detailed examples and compelling case studies, and featuring a companion website of listening samples, this remarkable volume boldly challenges readers to rethink the way they hear and understand the world.

JTC Guitar Lari Basilio Finger Picking Masterclass [TUTORIAL]

JTC Guitar Lari Basilio Finger Picking Masterclass [TUTORIAL]

Expand your musical vocabulary and finely tune your finger-picking, as Lari Basilio teaches you all you need to know in her holistic Masterclass course – designed for players of all levels!

Finger-picking is the perfect tool for expanding your musical ideas and possibilities on the instrument. Giving you an extended melodic range with ease, more tonal abilities and a whole new range of dynamics, this technique is in the tool-bag of all the pros and will really open up your chordal and soloing playing.

No matter what experience you already have with finger-picking, Lari’s Masterclass will serve as the perfect guide for players of all abilities.

This Masterclass will teach you what fingerpicking is, why you should use it, the fundamentals of hand positions (including the classical method and Lari’s own approach), tone discussions about the differences between playing with nails or flesh as well as various approaches to dynamics and note-manipulation!

Moving onto the videos and audio you’ll find 41 exercises (played both fast and slow) designed specifically to equip you with the skills necessary to cover a vast array of different finger-picking ideas and situations. You’ll be working with everything from string skipping, muting, legato and percussive techniques to adding bass notes, hand-synchronisation, finger-rolling, double-stops and more! Lari also takes things a step further by applying the concepts to various scales and arpeggios to show you how these ideas can be developed and applied.

Lari has laid down two wonderfully tasteful and inspiring solos. She’s also included 10 separate licks for each of the two solos. These break down the full playing of the solos into 10 key ideas played slowly in isolation so that you can learn and internalise everything in bite-sized chunks, as you watch all the techniques in context.

Once you’ve mastered the two solos, we’ve included the two full backing tracks for you to play over, or create your own finger-picking ideas using everything you’ve learned.
