Time and rhythm are king! Number one! We are constantly aware of this fact when we are playing or listening to improvised music. All notes seem to sound good when they are played with good time. Even melodies that use wrong notes sound good when played with good time. What often packages a good time feel are the rhythms a particular artist chooses to use. This book hopefully lends some insight into practicing and playing creative rhythms in a melodic way. (Jerry Bergonzi) The audio download provides 10 standard chord progressions, each played in two different tempos by Bruce Barth on piano, Dave Santoro on bass, and Adam Nussbaum on drums. In addition Jerry demonstrates various approaches and exercises on tenor saxophone.

Steven Wilson ist mit „Hand.Cannot.Erase“ und „Raven Refused To Sing“ der ganz große Wurf geglückt und ihm sind zwei Meilensteine des zeitgenössischen Progressive Rock gelungen. Nach dem sensationellen Erfolg des letzten Studioalbums „Hand.Cannot.Erase“ und der LP „Transience“ kehrt Steven Wilson zurück um seinen Fans ein ganz besonderes Schmankerl zu präsentieren. Der Grammy-nominierte Multiinstrumentalist, Produzent und Gründer von Porcupine Tree kehrt 2016 endlich mit dem langerwarteten neuen Album „4 1/2“ zurück. „4 1/2“ ist der Nachfolger seines großen Erfolgs „Hand.Cannot.Erase“, mit dem Steven Wilson die Media Control-Albumcharts auf Platz # 3 enterte und sich endgültig als Solo-Artist etablierte. Auch auf seinem neuen Solo-Album hat Wilson wieder die exzellente Band um sich geschart, die auch das „Hand“-Album so eindrucksvoll instrumentiert hat: Marco Minnemann (Schlagzeug), Adam Holzman (Keyboards), Nick Beggs (Bass), Guthrie Govan (Gitarre) und Theo Travis (Flöte/Sax).

Co-published with Museo Madre and Astrup Fearnley Museet, this book is the first comprehensive monograph of the Italian artist Isabella Ducrot. Ducrot uses both textiles and paper as a medium, which she has collected from her travels throughout Asia. The material, its flaws and qualities, become part of the image. Flower still lifes, landscapes, loving couples and garments are all part of Ducrot’s vocabulary of themes—simple; yet all-encompassing. The book brings together more than 250 works from throughout Ducrot’s career, spanning four decades, and features new scholarly essays by Adam D. Weinberg, Eva Fabbris & Marta Federici, T’ai Smith, Angela Tecce, Ginevra de Blasio and Jhumpa Lahiri. In addition, the book includes a selection of Isabella Ducrot’s own writing, as well as an illustrated chronology of the life and work of the artist. Isabella Ducrot was born in 1931 in Naples. Her oeuvre is deeply rooted in her interest in fabrics, central to both her pictorial works and writings. Employing diverse media—including pencil, pastel, ink and watercolour—her works compress an array of cultural references, ranging philosophy, folklore and textile weaving.

'This is the book we need right now' CAROLINE CRIADO PEREZ 'Lucid, funny and fascinating' ADAM BUXTON The tech disruptor. The tortured poet. The rebellious scientist. The monstrous artist. You can tell what a society values by who it labels as a genius. You can also tell who it excludes, who it enables, and what it is prepared to tolerate. Taking us from the Renaissance Florence of Leonardo da Vinci to the Floridian rocket launches of Elon Musk's SpaceX, Helen Lewis unravels a word that we all use - without really questioning what it means - and asks if the modern idea of genius is distorting our view of the world. 'Brilliant, timely and compulsively readable' OLIVER BURKEMAN 'A provocative, witty book' TLS

Dass der Himmel blau ist, ist gelogen In seinem künstlerischen Schaffen beschäftigt sich Matthias Kessler (geb. 1968 in Kempten; lebt und arbeitet in New York) mit Naturphänomenen. Für sein jüngstes Projekt Light Phenomena wählte er den Himmel als Sujet: In den Arbeiten verfremdet Kessler Ikonen der Malerei von J.M.W. Turner, Caspar David Friedrich und anderen. Ausgangspunkt dazu waren fotografische Reproduktionen beziehungsweise digitale Prints der Meisterwerke, die mittels Airbrush-Technik zu neuen abstrakten Kompositionen wurden. Kessler schafft eine Erfahrung von Farbe, die gleichzeitig schön und schockierend, ist und bezieht sich darin auf Naturphänomene, die in Kunst und Literatur mit Spannung und Angst festgehalten wurden, wie den Vulkanausbruch des Tambora 1815 in Indonesien, der im Folgejahr weltweite Auswirkungen auf das Klima und die Sichtbarkeit der Sonne hatte. The Year Without a Summer fasst Kesslers kunsthistorische Auseinandersetzung zusammen und referiert die Bildgenese zur Naturkatastrophe. Das Buch zeigt, wie das reine Blau, das dem Himmel traditionell zugeschrieben ist, zur Fiktion wird. Mit Texten von Mathias Kessler, Chiara Juriatti und Adam Hudec. It Is a Lie That the Sky Is Blue Matthias Kessler’s (b. Kempten, 1968; lives and works in New York) artist practice is dedicated to the manifold faces of nature. For his most recent project, Light Phenomena , he turned his attention to the sky: the resulting works defamiliarize icons of painting by J.M.W. Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, and others. Kessler appropriated photographic reproductions or digital prints of the masterworks, using his airbrush to transform them into novel abstract compositions. Kessler creates an experience of color that is beautiful and shocking at once, engaging with natural phenomena that artists and writers recorded with a mixture of excitement and fear such as the eruption of the volcano Tambora in Indonesia in 1816, which affected the global climate and changed the appearance of the sun throughout the following year. The Year Without a Summer gathers Kessler’s explorations of art history and lays out the genesis of the natural disaster’s reflections in visual culture. The book illustrates how the pure blue color traditionally associated with the sky becomes a fiction. With writings by Mathias Kessler, Chiara Juriatti, and Adam Hudec.

From the gritty streets of 1960s Soho to the lofty galleries of present-day West London, two interlocking mysteries decades apart unfold in this latest instalment in the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Castle Knoll Murder Mystery series Some secrets are deadlier than others 1968: Frances Adams is loving her new London life, and she’s stepped into a world of glamour thanks to her new friend, Vera Huntington--a magnetic socialite as mysterious as she is provocative. Vera dances around London like she owns it, taking Frances with her. Present day: When Annie Adams heads to London to visit her famous artist mother, Laura, the last thing she expects to find is a dead body.
