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.

Its 1977, and punk rock has just hit Liverpool. The legendary Erics club is home to the citys rebels, posers and misfits. Its a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist. The story traces Pennys relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century. Throughout these years, she never stops being a misfit, and the question remains: how do you navigate normal life when punk is dead and you dont know youre autistic? Atypical Girl begins as a coming-of-age story and ends as a midlife reinvention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives. * With an all-star cast including Paul McCartney, Duran Duran, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Echo & The Bunnymen, Wayne Hussey, The Mission, Sisters of Mercy, The Cramps, Jonathan Richman, Bill Drummond, KLF Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl, Buzzcocks, Jimmy Sommerville, The Communards and Alan Bleasdal.

"Echoes of Tartini: New Essays in Theory and Practice" brings together performers, music theorists and music historians to provide fresh perspectives on Giuseppe Tartini, one of the most important musicians and teachers of the late Baroque period. The book maps Tartinis influence across geographical regionsresonating outwards from Italy to France, Russia, Central Europe and beyondand across time, notably documenting his lasting impact on violin pedagogy and acoustical theory. A somewhat liminal figure, Tartinis music and thought exemplify both Baroque sensibilities and nascent Enlightenment ideals; he lived and worked in one declining empire and in the borderlands of another; and his pedagogical innovations, while rooted in the aesthetics of his time, continue to resonate through the ages. "Echoes of Tartini" reflects on Giuseppe Tartinis work, the complex world he inhabited and his rich legacy.

This volume brings together contributions from musicology, philosophy, cognitive science, and performance studies to explore how emotional content in Early Music can be understood and interpreted. Topics include philosophical and aesthetic theories of the passions, reflections on the Affektenlehre and its historiography, vocabularies of emotion in musical and non-musical sources, approaches from the history of emotions, and performative perspectives on historically informed interpretation. The essays reflect the diversity of ways in which emotional content in Early Music can be studied today, offering performers and scholars fresh perspectives on the ways Early Musics expressive dimension can be approached and interpreted.

O simbolismo começou com as primeiras palavras proferidas pelo primeiro homem, quando ele nomeou todos os seres vivos; ou antes disso, no céu, quando Deus nomeou o mundo para que ele existisse. E vemos, nestes primordios, precisamente o que o simbolismo na literatura realmente e: uma forma de expresso, na melhor das hipoteses aproximada, essencialmente arbitraria, ate obter a força de uma convenço, para uma realidade invisivel apreendida pela consciencia. Aqui, ento, nesta revolta contra a exterioridade, contra a retorica, contra uma tradiço materialista; neste esforço para desvincular a essencia ultima, a alma, de tudo o que existe e pode ser percebido pela consciencia; nesta espera obediente por cada simbolo por meio do qual a alma das coisas pode ser tornada visivel, a literatura, oprimida por tantos fardos, pode finalmente alcançar a liberdade e a sua linguagem autentica. Ao alcançar essa liberdade, ela aceita um fardo mais pesado; pois, ao falar-nos de forma to intima, to solene, como ate ento apenas a religio nos falava, ela propria se torna uma especie de religio, com todos os deveres e responsabilidades do ritual sagrado. Tambem me deu prazer ler os ensaios de O Simbolismo e seus ismos. Ja conhecia alguma coisa, mas ler o conjunto de textos sobre assunto to problematico foi muito bom. So tenho a lhe agradecer por me enviar tantos textos criticos, alguns deles bem dificeis de se encontrar por ai. Grande abraço, Alvaro Cardoso Gomes

Una atrapante narración sobre uno de los mayores patrimonios culturales de los argentinosEl tango es la invención más notable que la cultura rio|platense le brindó a la Argentina y al mundo entero. Hecha de musica, baile y poesia, su historia conforma un relato poblado de figuras emblematicas y sujetos anonimos; de acontecimientos artisticos y movimientos sociales. "Las artes del tango", como las llamo el poeta Horacio Ferrer, encierran las claves historicas de un pais hecho de criollos y europeos, de pampa y ciudad, de tradicion y modernidad. De Carlos Gardel a Mercedes Simone y de Anibal Troilo a Astor Piazzolla, el tango avanzo al ritmo del pais que lo engendro, en un permanente estado de disputa en torno a su identidad. A la vez sensual y sentimental, su arco temporal se extiende desde finales del siglo XIX hasta los albores del siglo XXI. Y mas alla tambien.Cuestionando la idea de que todo tango pasado fue mejor, en su nuevo libro Sergio Pujol deconstruye mitos y prejuicios, desafiando el relato nostalgico sobre la cultura popular rioplatense. En cada una de sus edades, el tango expreso de un modo particular la idiosincrasia porteña. Su desarrollo no fue lineal ni univoco. La riqueza de su historia reciente, signada por artistas tan diversos como Bajofondo, Orquesta El Arranque, Lidia Borda, Orquesta Tipica Fernandez Fierro y Diego Schissi, prueba su vigencia y continuidad. Las edades del tango constituye asi una atrapante narracion sobre uno de los mayores patrimonios culturales de los argentinos.

El Barroquista cierra su trilogía cultural Otra historia con la esperadaOTRA HISTORIA DE LA MÚSICA.¿Qué es la música?¿Por qué calma a los bebés?¿Cómo puede un solo acorde sacudir nuestras emociones, o un ritmo hacernos bailar de manera espontanea?¿Por que, a pesar de su omnipresencia, la musica es considerada muchas veces un "arte menor"?La musica esta en todas partes: en las conversaciones cotidianas, en el ruido de la ciudad, en el bullicio de las calles y en los momentos de descanso. Es el lenguaje que nos conecta sin necesidad de palabras, nos emociona, nos moviliza y nos transforma. Desde los cantos de los esclavos africanos hasta la revolucion del K-pop, pasando por la transgresion de Rosalia y la pureza matematica de Bach, la musica ha sido el motor de historias, celebraciones y tragedias.Como en sus anteriores obras, Miguel Angel Cajigal (El Barroquista) desmonta en este libro los prejuicios establecidos para desvelar los importantes roles sociales y culturales que la musica ha jugado a lo largo de los siglos, mostrando su capacidad para trascender fronteras y cambiar la manera en que experimentamos el mundo.Este tercer volumen de la trilogia cultural Otra historia invita a reflexionar sobre la musica como un lenguaje universal que conecta lo humano en su mas amplio sentido: emociones, identidad y cultura. A traves de una narracion fresca y accesible, Cajigal nos ofrece una nueva perspectiva sobre como la musica ha sido mas que un simple acompañante y se ha convertido en un protagonista esencial en el relato de nuestra historia.
