The greatest lie we tell ourselves as adults is "I have no artistic talent." The truth is that the inability to draw is not a failure of the hand, but a dominance of the wrong side of the brain. From childhood, our logical left hemisphere is trained to label the world efficiently, reducing complex objects into simple symbolsa stick figure for a person, a circle for a sun. The Artists Switch is a manual for overriding this efficient but blinding programming, teaching you to access the spatial, intuitive right hemisphere that sees the world as it truly is: a collection of edges, spaces, and relationships.This book is less about technique and more about a fundamental shift in perception. Through a series of counter-intuitive exerciseslike drawing upside down or focusing solely on the negative space between objectsyou will trick your logical brain into giving up control. As the chatter of the inner critic quiets, you will find your hand beginning to record lines and angles with surprising accuracy. Whether you are a complete novice who struggles to draw a straight line or a lapsed creative looking to reconnect with your vision, this narrative guide proves that realistic drawing is not a magical gift reserved for the chosen few, but a learnable skill of seeing that is waiting to be switched on.

Drums in Modern Tango opens the doors to a groundbreaking approach to tango performance for drum set. Written by acclaimed Argentine drummer and composer Daniel "Pipi" Piazzolla, this book documents the evolution of modern tango drumming and presents, for the first time, a complete method dedicated to the rhythmic language of Astor Piazzollas music and to the modern tango tradition.Drawing from his professional career, research, and decades of experience performing tango and jazz worldwide, Piazzolla explores the rhythmic foundations that define the contemporary tango sound: the 3-3-2 clave, marcato phrasing, syncopated patterns, extended clave concepts, and modern techniques developed through rudiments, orchestration, stickings, and groove construction. The book expands on these ideas through dozens of progressive exercises, technical studies, orchestrated patterns, and musical applications designed specifically for drum set.This volume also reveals the musical DNA behind Piazzollas drumming style: influences from Astor Piazzollas electronic octet, jazz language, funk textures, Tony Williams concepts, paradiddles, orchestration design, and bass drum/ride interactionsall adapted to tango while remaining faithful to its acoustic tradition and ensemble balance.Published by Melos (2025), this first English edition offers 56 pages of structured instruction and detailed rhythmic analysis, presenting material previously unavailable in any other publication devoted to tango drumming. The work is developed in association with IUPA and the Astor Piazzolla Free Chair, and stands as a technical and artistic reference for drummers, arrangers, educators, and musicians interested in Latin American rhythmic language.More than a method, Drums in Modern Tango is a pioneering contribution to contemporary music, reshaping the role of the drum set within tango and asserting a bold artistic statement: 21st-century tango includes drums.
