Mood Machine
An unsparing investigation into Spotify's origins and influence on music, weaving unprecedented reporting with incisive cultural criticism, illuminating how streaming is reshaping music for listeners and artists alike.
Drawing on over a hundred interviews with industry insiders, former Spotify employees, and musicians, Mood Machine takes us to the inner workings of today's highly consolidated record business, showing what has changed as music has become increasingly playlisted, personalized, and autoplayed.
Building on her years of wide-ranging reporting on streaming, music journalist Liz Pelly details the consequences of the Spotify model by examining both sides of what the company calls its two-sided marketplace: the listeners who pay with their dollars and data, and the musicians who provide the material powering it all. The music business is notoriously opaque, but here Pelly lifts the veil on major stories like streaming services filling popular playlists with low-cost stock music and the rise of new payola-like practices.
For all of the inequities exacerbated by streaming, Pelly also finds hope in chronicling the artist-led fight for better models, pointing toward what must be done collectively to revalue music and create sustainable systems.
A timely exploration of a company that has become synonymous with music, Mood Machine will change the way you think about and listen to music.
3 Shades of Blue
1959 saw Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the other members of Miles's sextet come together to record the seminal jazz album of all time Kind of Blue.
3 Shades of Blue is a magnificent, blended biography on the meandering paths which led Miles, Coltrane and Evans to the mountaintop of 1959 and the aftermath. It's a book about music, business, race, addiction and the cities that gave jazz its home; from New York and LA to Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. Kaplan meditates on creativity and the great forebears of this golden age who would take the music down strange new paths.
Above all, this is a book about three very different men - their struggles, their choices, their tragedies, their greatness. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplan's hands, an American Odyssey, with no direction home.

Revolutionary Desires
Sex on screen is unnecessary, gratuitous, and serves no purpose. This is the sentiment on the rise as cinema becomes less and less sexy. Xuanlin Tham counters that sex scenes can open our minds and bodies to the possibility of new futures, and seduce us towards an expanded political imagination. Through The Matrix Reloaded, Lingua Franca and beyond, Revolutionary Desires explores how the form’s intimacies, transgressions, and dedication to pleasure can be uniquely poised to rupture dominant narratives of capitalism and the violences that flow from it. Why is the sex scene, demonised as it is, therefore more politically important and subversive than ever? And how can it power a desire for something more?
The Prop
What are film props? What do they do? This book answers these questions by a close attention to those material objects that are used to construct cinematic worlds. The term "prop" is short for property. This truncated term's etymology belies the expansiveness of the concept and indicates the micro and macro scales at which the prop operates. Props are the material—often literal—furniture of cinema's diegetic reality. Props are also narrative agents: think of the animacy of objects in Jean Epstein's account of photogénie, the crystal egg in Risky Business, or the domestic bric-a-brac of Sirk's melodramas. The prop is central to production design and the construction of mise-en-scene. And yet, the prop has rarely—almost never—been taken as an object of analysis and theorization in its own right. This book begins by tracing the prop's curious but unacknowledged role in film theory, before proceeding to a series of theoretical speculations and close readings that bring the prop into focus. Analyses of scenes of "prop mastery" demonstrate the labor that props perform and enable, as well as the interpretive work they make possible. Across a variety of genres, modes, and historical contexts—studio filmmaking, art cinema, adult and avant-garde films—The Prop introduces readers to the notion of "prop value," a quality that puts the prop in proximity to the capitalist commodity, but also provides an ironic distance from the commodity's subjection to exchange value. Gorfinkel and Rhodes argue that the prop is nothing less than a condensation of how labor, subjection, value, and instrumentality underwrite the very conditions of cinema.
Aesthetic Noise
Aesthetic Noise: The Philosophy of Intentional Listening considers the complex nature of noise within the framework of philosophical filtering, examining how, if noise is engaged with aesthetically, it can produce profound experiences and understandings.Applying the philosophies of Edmund Burke, Martin Heidegger, Jacque Derrida, and Julia Kristeva to works by Luigi Russolo, John Cage, Steve Reich, Alison Knowles, Annea Lockwood, Alyce Santoro, and Sunn O))), this book explores noise as an art material, and ultimately how it can become a tool for activism and expanded creative possibilities. It demonstrates that, by engaging multiple philosophies in concert, the value of aesthetic noise is amplified, thus allowing the listener to better appreciate noise and its possibilities.Providing greater insights into noise as an aesthetic material, Aesthetic Noise will be of interest to researchers and students of sound studies, philosophy, and sound art, as well as sound designers, artists, musicians, and composers.
P. Augustin Schenkirž OSB (1736–1797): Benediktinský mnich a skladatel
Monografie o životě a díle P. A. Schenkirže, českého skladatele druhé poloviny 18. století, obsahuje řadu unikátních a dosud neznámých faktů zjištěných nejenom pečlivým studiem nově objevených pramenů z českých kostelních kůrů zpracovávaných v rámci programu DKRVO, oblast 2. hudební věda (Litomyšl, Teplice), ale také z rakouských klášterů. Studiem Souborného hudebního katalogu NK ČR a katalogu RISM se podařilo určit dataci děl a identifikovat i řadu autografů. Zcela novým zjištěním je skutečnost, že Schenkirž byl též nevšedně talentovaným hudebním dramatikem, o čemž svědčí úspěšné uvedení jeho nově identifikované hudby k pastorální gratulační divadelní hře pražským Národním divadlem. Tematický katalog Schenkiržových děl je zpracován jako příloha monografie v elektronické podobě. Publikace vychází česky se souběžným anglickým překladem v ediční řadě Hudebního oddělení NK ČR Varia de musica.

Jaroslav Ježek v úpravě pro kytaru s trsátkem
Tato kniha je určena jak amatérským hráčům, kteří na kytaru často hrají trsátkem, tak je vhodná i do škol, kde se učí elektrická kytara. Pro jazzovou a populární hudbu je typické, že se velmi často hrává na kytaru trsátkem (anglicky flatpicking). Aranže vycházejí z akordo-melodického stylu hry na kytaru (anglicky Chord melody style). Bohužel českých písní upravených pro tuto hru mnoho není. Chtěli jsme vyjít těmto hráčům vstříc, a proto přinášíme písně Jaroslava Ježka v této netradiční podobě.
When the Carry On Stopped
When the Carry On Stopped looks at how the Carry On film series made its painful transition from one film company, Anglo-Amalgamated, to another, the Rank Organisation. In examining this little-known but fascinating story, the growth of Anglo-Amalgamated is highlighted through the success of its owners, partners Stuart Levy and Nat Cohen. Levy’s sudden death in 1966 encouraged Cohen to ditch the Carry Ons in favour of more prestigious feature films.Without a film distributor, the series’ producer Peter Rogers, was forced to search for another, eventually finding the series a new home at Rank. However, Rank was unwilling to endorse the work of a rival and so dropped the ‘Carry On’ title. The Carry On series looked doomed.When the Carry On Stopped also sheds new light on the careers of the Carry On stars at this critical time. We learn of Barbara Windsor’s involvement in the stage disaster Twang!!, of Jim Dale’s stage success, Sid James’ first heart attack and Charles Hawtrey losing his mother. The book calls out the fat shaming of Joan Sims as one of the many injustices shown to her by the producer.This is essential reading for Carry On fans and those interested in the machinations of the British entertainment industry in the 1960’s.
Hráme na heligónke - Piesne od Jaromíra Nohavicu
V tejto výnimočnej a dlho očakávanej publikácií sú spracované piesne od jedného z najpopulárnejších českých spevákov, vynikajúceho muzikanta, skladateľa a textára Jaromíra Nohavicu. Heligónka sa popri gitare stala jeho druhým neodlučiteľným nástrojom. Zložil pre ňu množstvo charakteristických a originálnych piesní, ktoré vdýchli tomuto nástroju neopakovateľné čaro. Ich spôsob interpretácie v jeho podaní je vskutku jedinečný, dokonale vystihujúci obsah a podstatu danej piesne.
To ma podnietilo, aby som pripravil túto publikáciu, kde som spracoval spolu 25 piesní v úprave pre dvojradovú heligónku v tabuľkovom zápise. Nájdete tu piesne, ktoré Jaromír Nohavica hráva na koncertoch výlučne na heligónke, no zopár piesní je tu aj takých, ktoré sú pôvodne určené pre gitaru, ale dajú sa veľmi pekne zahrať aj na heligónke.
Úpravy piesní vychádzajú z originálneho podania Jaromíra Nohavicu, kde heligónka často slúži ako sprievodný nástroj ku spevu, no niekde je doplnená aj melodická linka danej piesne. Obtiažnosť jednotlivých piesní je väčšinou stredne ťažká.

Aliens
On its release in 1986, Aliens was an immediate commercial and critical success and consolidated writer-director James Cameron’s status as a major new Hollywood player. Reprising some of the features of Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979) and expanding them in a number of crucial ways, Aliens managed to reinforce the audience’s attraction to the still fairly new Alien franchise and insert into it the seeds of narrative and visual changes that would be further explored in subsequent instalments of the series. Aliens is an endlessly fascinating mixture of different genres: sci-fi, revenge movies, action, war films—and more specifically Vietnam War movies—all contribute in creating a visual experience that is dynamic and emotionally enthralling. The great care devoted to set and prop design gives the film its distinctive industrial and dirty atmosphere, while the narrative and psychological evolution of the Ripley character creates a modern and engaging heroine that would have a strong impact on genre cinema. This volume in the Constellations series examines in-depth James Cameron’s film within the context of genre studies, with a particular eye to Aliens’ nature as an example of hybrid science fiction. It provides readers with a detailed visual analysis of the film and an overview of its major themes, from its metaphorical reading of the Vietnam War to the representation of motherhood and family.

USBM: Revoluce identity v americkém black metalu
Black metal byl vždy tou nejméně stravitelnou formou extrémní hudby, ale současně také epicentrem pro jedny z nejplodnějších experimentů v hudbě vůbec. Souběžně s planoucí evropskou scénou devadesátých let zplodila americká pustina své vlastní znechucené bídáky a bezvěrce, kteří se jali hojně využívat blast beaty, kytarové běsnění, nelidské skřeky a satanistické inklinace. Po celých třicet let Američané stejnou měrou lpěli na fundamentálních blackmetalových principech a zavrhovali je v neustálé honbě za takovým zvukem, který by dal hlas těm nejosobnějším a nejdravějším démonům v nás.
"USBM: Revoluce identity v americkém black metalu" je buřičská výprava až do samotných střev této hudby, skrze svědectví muzikantů, kteří zachytili naše nejděsivější přízraky a zrcadlili
je zpět na nás.
Účinkují: VON, ABSU, PROFANATICA, BLACK FUNERAL, INQUISITION, KRIEG, WEAKLING, LUDICRA, LEVIATHAN, XASTHUR, NACHTMYSTIUM, AGALLOCH WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, PANOPTICON, DEAFHEAVEN a další
Choosing Death
KOMPLETNÍ OHAVNÁ ANATOMIE DEATH METALU A GRINDCORU – NYNÍ ZNOVUZROZENÁ V NOVÝCH KAPITOLÁCH, SYTÝCH BARVÁCH A VE VŠÍ KRAJNÍ ODPORNOSTI.
V roce 1986 bylo zcela nepředstavitelné, že by death metal a grindcore mohly mít kdy dopad na populární kulturu. Záhy však tento barbarský amalgám hardcore punku a heavy metalu začal vytrvale vytyčovat samu hranici hudebního extrému. Ze zárodků roztříštěné komunity undergroundových nadšenců, vzájemně směňujících nahrávky, povstaly kapely snad v každém koutě světa, načež se death metal a grindcore šířily rychleji než příslovečný mor od nemrtvých požíračů masa.
V roce 1994 tak mělo každé z nejprominentnějších vydavatelství obou žánrů na svém kontě hodně přes milion prodaných deathmetalových a grindových desek. Právě vzestup, pád a zmrtvýchvstání obou těchto tváří hudebního extrému mapuje kniha Choosing Death: Nepravděpodobná historie death metalu & grindcoru, a to očima a ušima (ve kterých tedy notně zvonilo) muzikantů, producentů a vydavatelů, kteří hnali obě hnutí kupředu.
„Death metal a grindcore jsem vnímal jako návrat k extrémnější verzi punku,“ konstatoval svého času John Peel. „Tahle muzika je krokem na území vyvrhelů, daleko za hranice jakékoliv agresivní hudby, kterou kdy předtím někdo slyšel.“
