DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Heartbeat and a Guitar tells of the collaboration of two distinct yet connected musicians--iconoclast Johnny Cash and pioneering folk artist Peter La Farge-- Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian, the album that influenced the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. In this intimate portrayal of the two musicians, D'Ambrosio interviewed surviving members of Cash's band, his producers, and admirers Pete Seeger and Kris Kristofferson. He renders a dramatic picture of both an era of radical protest and the making of one of the most controversial and enduring works of political pop art of the 1960s. A Heartbeat and a Guitar is the inspiration for the new album "Look Again to the Wind: Johnny Cash's Bitter Tears revisited" featuring a collective of top Americana artists including Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, and Kris Kristofferson.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite centuries of suppression and oppression, American Indian music survives today as a profound cultural force. Heartbeat, Warble, and the Electric Powwow celebrates in depth the vibrant soundscape of Native North America, from the “heartbeat” of intertribal drums and “warble” of Native flutes to contemporary rock, hip-hop, and electronic music. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews with musicians, producers, ethnographers, and record-label owners, author and musician Craig Harris conjures an aural tapestry in which powwow drums and end-blown woodwinds resound alongside operatic and symphonic strains, jazz and reggae, country music, and blues. Harris begins with an exploration of the powwow, from sacred ceremonies to intertribal gatherings. He examines the traditions of the Native American flute and its revival with artists such as two-time Grammy winners R. Carlos Nakai and Mary Youngblood. Singers and songwriters, including Buffy Sainte-Marie, Keith Secola, and Joanne Shenandoah, provide insights into their music and their lives as American Indians. Harris also traces American Indian rock, reggae, punk, and pop over four decades, punctuating his survey with commentary from such artists as Tom Bee, founder of Native America’s first rock band, XIT. Grammy-winner Taj Mahal recalls influential guitarist Jesse Ed Davis; ex-bandmates reflect on Rock Hall of Fame inductee Redbone; Robbie Robertson, Pura Fe, and Rita Coolidge describe how their groundbreaking 1993 album, Music for the Native Americans, evolved; and DJs A Tribe Called Red discuss their melding of archival powwow recordings into fiery dance music. The many voices and sounds that weave throughout Harris’s engaging, accessible account portray a sonic landscape that defies stereotyping and continues to expand. Heartbeat, Warble, and the Electric Powwow is the story—told by those who live it—of resisting a half-millennium of cultural suppression to create new sounds while preserving old roots. Listen in!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the tranquil haven of Harmony Bay, where the lapping waves compose a soothing symphony against the glistening shores, a tale of rekindled passions and rediscovered purpose unfolds. Within this idyllic coastal town, the meeting of two souls, both adrift in the turbulent currents of their lives, sets the stage for an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and love. Amidst the gentle embrace of the ocean breeze, Richard Mitchell, a once-celebrated musician, now a disillusioned wanderer, finds solace along the rugged coastline. His heartache and thwarted dreams find an unexpected outlet as he crafts exquisite instruments from the remnants of forgotten treasures washed ashore. Little does he know that these unique creations will weave together the destinies of individuals far beyond the confines of his quiet sanctuary. Gianna Hartman, a renowned music producer haunted by the trappings of success, hears whispers of Richard's unconventional artistry. These echoes of melodies that defy convention stir a dormant passion within her, and she embarks on a journey to Harmony Bay to unearth the source. When their paths finally cross, it's as if the universe itself orchestrated their encounter, drawing them together in pursuit of a shared destiny. The harmony they create is not limited to the music that emanates from Richard's reclaimed instruments; it extends to the cadence of their hearts finding resonance in one another. As their collaborative efforts in music flourish, so too does an unspoken connection that transcends words. But the path they tread is not without discord. The tumultuous undercurrents of fame, the haunting shadows of past failures, and the relentless demands of the music industry threaten to drown out the delicate notes of their love story. In 'Harmony's Heartbeat,' the reimagined notes of salvaged instruments intertwine with the rhythm of love and perseverance. The resulting symphony is more than an arrangement of musical notes, it's a testament to the healing potency of melodies, a celebration of human connection through art, and a reminder that even the most discordant of circumstances can be transformed into harmonious tunes with the right companionship. Join Richard and Gianna as they navigate the tempestuous waters of fame, passion, and self-discovery. Feel the resonance of their journey as it reverberates through the pages of this heartwarming tale, reminding us all that amidst life's chaos, the music of the heart can guide us to our own harmonious ever after.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnruly Media argues that we are the crest of a new international style in which sonic and visual parameters become heightened and accelerated. This audiovisual turn calls for new forms of attention. Post-classical cinema, with its multi-plot narratives and flashy style, fragments under the influence of audiovisual numbers and music-video-like sync. Music video becomes more than a way of selling songs. YouTube's brief, low-res clips encompass many forms and foreground reiteration, graphic values and affective intensity. These three media are riven by one another: a trajectory from YouTube through music video to the new digital cinema reveals commonalities, especially in the realms of rhythm, texture and form. This is the first book to account for the current audiovisual landscape across medium and platform, and it demonstrates that attending equally to soundtrack and image reveals how these media work and how they both mirror and shape our experience.
