Downtown NYC of the mid-1970s and early 80s was the perfect landscape for reinvention. If the Lost Generation writers telegraphed the death of the American dream, the No Wave era, led by artists including Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Nan Goldin, Sonic Youth and the Contortions, challenged that dream by howling "NO" while creating a counterculture that brought punk, rock, jazz, funk, the art world, hip hop, and outlaw literature together into an international explosion of creativity. Why was this scene so compelling, and remains so today? What set this confluence of time, place, and people apart from the rest? The answer, in a word: women. Women, resisting stereotypes. Reinventing themselves according to their individual artistic visions. Adele Bertei was a pivotal figure in the No Wave movement. She was an original member of the Contortions and Brian Enos fascination with the band resulted in the seminal No New York record, released in 1978. NO NEW YORK: A Memoir of No Wave and the Women Who Shaped the Scene will provide an uncompromising testimony to the first significant, international movement of women artists creating work on an equal footing with the men, the fruits of which were some of the most striking and unique of this era.

Una fascinante e insólita exploración sobre el mundo de la música y el papel que desempeña en nuestras vidas.Michel Faber, uno de los novelistas más talentosos y singulares de los últimos tiempos, se adentra en el ensayo para escribir el libro que siempre quiso escribir: una obra brillante y exhaustiva sobre como y por que escuchamos musica, y por que escuchamos la musica que escuchamos y no otra. A traves de asuntos como las reacciones electroquimicas que provoca en nuestro cerebro, la dicotomia entre buen y mal gusto, la nocion de cool o los aspectos biologicos y socioculturales que nos determinan, el autor desvela algunos aspectos sorprendentes sobre nuestra relacion con la musica, y nos descubre hasta que punto el acto de escuchar cambia nuestra relacion con el mundo.El resultado es un extraordinario viaje por el sonido en sus multiples facetas. Una apasionada, desmitificadora y accesible reflexion sobre todo aquello relacionado con el acto y el arte musical y el papel que ambos desempeñan en nuestras vidas.
