Описание: Becoming Jimi Hendrix traces"Jimmy`s" early musical roots, from a harrowing, hand-to-mouth upbringing in a poverty-stricken, broken Seattle home to his early discovery of the blues to his stint as a reluctant recruit of the 101st Airborne who was magnetically drawn to the rhythm and blues scene in Nashville. As a sideman, Hendrix played with the likes of Little Richard, Ike and Tina Turner, the Isley Brothers, and Sam & Dave- but none knew what to make of his spotlight-stealing rock guitar experimentation, the likes of which had never been heard before. From 1962 to 1966, on the rough and tumble club circuit, Hendrix learned to please a crowd, deal with racism, and navigate shady music industry characters, all while evolving his own astonishing style. Finally, in New York`s Greenwich Village, two key women helped him survive, and his discovery in a tiny basement club in 1966 led to Hendrix instantly being heralded as a major act in Europe before he returned to America, appeared at the Monterey Pop Festival, and entered the pantheon of rock`s greatest musicians. Becoming Jimi Hendrix is based on over one hundred interviews with those who knew Hendrix best during his lean years, more than half of whom have never spoken about him on the record. Utilizing court transcripts, FBI files, private letters, unpublished photos, and U.S. Army documents, this is the story of a young musician who overcame enormous odds, a past that drove him to outbursts of violence, and terrible professional and personal decisions that complicated his life before his untimely demise.

Описание: Musical Rhythm in the Age of Digital Reproduction presents new insights into the study of musical rhythm through investigations of the micro-rhythmic design of groove-based music. The main purpose of the book is to investigate how technological mediation - in the age of digital music production tools - has influenced the design of rhythm at the micro level. Through close readings of technology-driven popular music genres, such as contemporary R&B, hip-hop, trip-hop, electro-pop, electronica, house and techno, as well as played folk music styles, the book sheds light on how investigations of the musical-temporal relationships of groove-based musics might be fruitfully pursued, in particular with regard to their micro-rhythmic features. This book is based on contributions to the project Rhythm in the Age of Digital Reproduction (RADR), a five-year research project running from 2004 to 2009 that was funded by the Norwegian Research Council.

Описание:
A musical force across four decades, a voice for the ages, and a great songwriter, Chrissie Hynde is one of America’s foremost rockers. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005, she and her band The Pretenders have released ten albums since 1980. The Pretenders’ debut LP has been acclaimed as one of the best albums of all time by VH1 and Rolling Stone. In a business filled with “pretenders” and posers, Hynde remains unassailably authentic. Although she blazed the trail for countless female musicians, Hynde has never embraced the role of rock-feminist and once remarked, “It’s never been my intention to change the world or set an example for others to follow.” Instead, she pursued her own vision of rock—a band of “motorcycles with guitars.”
Chrissie Hynde: A Musical Biography traces this legend’s journey from teenage encounters with rock royalty to the publication of her controversial memoir Reckless in 2015. Adam Sobsey digs deep into Hynde’s catalog, extolling her underrated songwriting gifts and the greatness of The Pretenders’ early classics and revealing how her more recent but lesser-known records are not only underappreciated but actually key to understanding her earlier work, as well as her evolving persona. Sobsey hears Hynde’s music as a way into her life outside the studio, including her feminism, signature style, vegetarianism, and Hinduism. She is “a self-possessed, self-exiled idol with no real forbears and no true musical descendants: a complete original.”
Описание: Steeds meer mensen ondervinden dat projectmanagement in een transitie terecht is gekomen. Van oudsher bekende en op zichzelf goede methoden en technieken zijn tegen hun grenzen aangelopen. Nieuwe inzichten en aanpakken winnen terrein. Geen wonder dat ook de inhoud en het nut van bestaande instituties op het gebied van projectmanagement, zoals vak- en certificeringsorganisaties meer en meer ter discussie worden gesteld. Ervaren projectmanagers beschouwen de uitgedijde methoden en technieken en de strakke certificeringen steeds meer als een keurslijf in plaats van als nuttige hulpmiddelen.Niet alleen projectmanagers hebben er last van. Ook lijnmanagers van grote organisaties kampen met het probleem. Velen zien om zich heen dat projecten niet naar wens verlopen, terwijl medewerkers toch volgens de voorgeschreven opgelegde procedures lijken te handelen. Het is alsof managers en medewerkers hun gezonde verstand thuislaten en procedures laten regeren over hun professionele handelen zonder oog te hebben voor de gevolgen ervan. Daarnaast zien we dat in de praktijk nieuwe aanpakken gretig worden omarmd als de heilige graal, zonder rekening te houden met de enorme omslag die dat betekent, niet alleen voor de directbetrokkenen maar zelfs voor de hele organisatie. Het risico is niet denkbeeldig dat de introductie van de nieuwe aanpak het werken in projecten verder bemoeilijkt en dat we zo het kind met het badwater weggooien.Transitie van projectmanagement betekent ook transitie voor de projectmanager. Daarom vonden we het hoog tijd een boek te schrijven voor deze projectmanager in transitie dat een nieuwe richting voor het vak aangeeft. In dit boek verkennen of beschrijven we een aantal belangrijke aspecten van die transitie. Zes auteurs hebben ieder een of meer hoofdstukken voor hun rekening genomen.Het eerste hoofdstuk analyseert de oorsprong van de begrippen `project` en `projectmanagement` en maakt duidelijk dat de huidige visies op het vak een doodlopende weg in dreigen te slaan. Het vervolghoofdstuk brengt een aantal stromingen in de projectmanagementwereld tot anno 2017 in beeld en slaat een brug tussen de projecten en organisaties.Hoofdstuk 3 stelt dat projectmanagementmethoden en projectmanagers ten onrechte zo veel mogelijk emoties en irrationaliteit negeren. We kunnen maar beter onder ogen zien dat ze een onlosmakelijk aspect zijn van ieder project en leren daarmee om te gaan.Een apart hoofdstuk wordt gewijd aan wicked vraagstukken, een type opgave dat kenmerken van volstrekte onvoorspelbaarheid vertoont en toch aan de orde van dag is. De bestaande projectmanagementmethoden bieden hierbij weinig houvast. Maar welke aanpak werkt dan wel?In het hoofdstuk over competenties en competentieontwikkeling staat de competentie-ontwikkeling van de projectmanager, zijn waarden en drijfveren centraal. Wat zijn competenties, competentie-frameworks en welke zijn belangrijk voor mij als projectmanager? Hoe kan de projectmanager de steeds belangrijker wordende gedragscompetenties ontwikkelen? In hoeverre kan de veel gebruikte ICB 4 van IPMA daarbij helpen?In het laatste hoofdstuk wordt een aantal scenario`s beschreven voor de mogelijke ontwikkeling van de professie, gebaseerd op een aantal trends. De trends zijn door de auteurs van dit boek geselecteerd mede op basis van soms verrassende gezichtspunten van ervaren collega`s uit het veld.Door het boek heen staan inspirerende verhalen die zijn opgetekend uit de mond van projectmanagers die op zeer verschillende terreinen succesvolle projecten hebben uitgevoerd. Zowel een feest van herkenning als een bron van nieuwe inzichten.

Описание: For a long time, rappers and other artists in the world of Hip Hop have led dual lives: loved and adored by public audiences globally, but largely passed over, if not ignored, by those who might seek to academically understand how and how such music works in the first place. Although rappers’ skills are appreciated by millions of fans worldwide, the methods that are used to understand those same talents have not kept pace with the staggering genius of these artists themselves. A thorough explanation of the music genre of rap that updates traditional musical principles in a natural and fitting way is exactly what’s needed to correct these differences between public and scholarly opinion. In here introducing such reinventions of well-established tools, like a rethinking of music notation’s true purpose, the author poses challenging questions to the public understanding of rap music with an analytical foundation that’s firmly built on a corpus of 135 songs from a group of over 50 artists like Eminem, Kanye West, and Jean Grae. Building off of Martin Connor’s decade of experience in both the journalism and scholarly arena, the answers that Connor arrives at are likely to be the motivating factors behind any ongoing discourse that tries to explain and describe rap, if not the shaper of such conversations.

Описание: Small Musical Worlds in the Mediterranean is a pioneering book-length study of the complex topics of identity, ethnicity and global processes in children’s musical lives in the Republic of Cyprus - a Mediterranean country during its post-colonial era. What is it about this country’s musical enculturation that made musical identity such a potent element in Greek Cypriot children’s worlds? How is history, tradition, modernity, ethnic fluidity, syncretism and diversification in the Mediterranean negotiated in the construction of musical ’self’ and ’other’ in children’s daily lives? This book, through a journey of ’fieldwork at home’, discusses how children select, reject, reproduce and transform meanings and create new ones at the micro-level of their lives through which individuals and groups define themselves and others. Towards this exploration, musical identity in childhood is discussed in terms of cultural production and reproduction, human expression, inter-relating and learning. Ethnographic vignettes of children’s musical practices and direct words add depth and humour to the flow of the book. This study is a synthesis of ethnomusicology, musical anthropology, education and folklore in which the author effectively weaves together theories of musical enculturation and identity, sociocultural learning and human agency. The book will be invaluable to scholars interested in musical enculturation, musical identities, children’s contextual musical practices, ethnicity, globalization studies, music education and Mediterranean studies.
