Keeping Time
Keeping Time: Dialogues on music and archives in Honour of Linda Barwick explores current issues in ethnomusicology and the archiving and repatriation of ethnographic field recordings.The 19 chapters by 36 authors consider archiving practices as a site of interaction between researchers and cultural heritage communities; cross-disciplinary approaches to understanding song; and the role of musical transcription in non-Western music.This volume is international in scope with case studies with Indigenous and minority peoples from Papua New Guinea, China, India, the Torres Strait and mainland Aboriginal Australia; the latter being the focus of the majority of chapters.Topics include the revival of songs from early written sources, creation of new songs based in old genres, the concept of "sing" in other languages, spirits as the origin of song knowledge, and how to manage ethnographic records over time. Keeping Time approaches Indigenous practices from a range of disciplines, including linguistics, history and performing arts, as well as Indigenous Studies, cultural revitalisation (including reclamation of Indigenous languages), Indigenous knowledge and application to climate change.Offered in honour of Emeritus Professor Linda Barwick, the founder of the Indigenous Music, Language and Performing Arts series, Keeping Time offers a diverse range of opinions on ethnographic research practices and their value to society.There are 3 audio examples available to be listened to here: https: //open.sydneyuniversitypress.com.au/keeping_time.html

Bittersweet Sounds of Passage
An important presence through centuries of musical and social change, gamelan angklung is a small, four-tone bronze-keyed ensemble that remains ubiquitous at cremations in Bali. Ellen Koskoff offers a compelling portrait of these little-studied orchestras and their members: rice farmers, eatery owners, and other locals who do not see themselves as musicians or what they play as music. Koskoff examines the history, cultural significance, and musical structures of contemporary gamelan angklung cremation music through the lens of three intertwined stories: existing scholarship on this music, written mostly by Western composers and scholars; the views of those performing and experiencing the music who regard it as dharma--ritual obligation, a basic concept in Balinese Hinduism; and the music itself, with a musical analysis focusing on changes in rasa--feeling, flavor and musical flow. A journey inside a tradition, Bittersweet Sounds of Passage reveals the overlooked music of an important ritual in Balinese village life.
Steely Dan
Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, a couple of cynical New York jazz fans wormed their way into a record contract and astonished critics with their first album 'Can't Buy a Thrill' in 1973. Nine albums later, they were among the biggest selling acts in the world. Steely Dan were different from the rest of rock's super-sellers. They rarely gave interviews and, after some early bad experiences on the road, they refused to tour. They didn't have their photographs taken and few people knew what they looked like. Steely Dan weren't even a proper group; it was two musicians and a producer, yet every top notch player in the world lined up to appear on their albums.Brian Sweet, former editor and publisher of Metal Leg, the Steely Dan fanzine, draws back the veil of secrecy that has surrounded Becker and Fagen, presenting the true story of how they made their music and lived their lives
Loud and Clear
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The first book to tell the full story of the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound, an unprecedented and since unparalleled speaker system. Loud and Clear is the first book to tell the full story of the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound, an unprecedented and since unparalleled speaker system that was as tall as a school bus is long and more than a hundred feet wide. The band's quest for roaring yet crystal clear sound began after their formation in 1965, colliding with the '60s progressive social climate. Over the next few years, the Dead's growing crew of sound-obsessed techies and eccentric roadies took their speaker system to new technological heights. But in 1974, as the Dead's relentless, drug-fueled touring schedule met this increasingly burdensome yet sonically perfect machine, the Wall brought the band to its knees. The two years of Wall shows are legend among Deadheads, and this character-driven tale about human ambition, achievement, and the limits of both on a larger-than-life scale is one of the great untold stories in rock and roll history. Author Brian Anderson interviewed hundreds of people associated with the band and the construction of the Wall itself, including band members, roadies, tech wizards, fans and many more. This fascinating inside story of one of the most legendary rock bands of all time is a testament to the Wall reverberating long after it fell silent.

But there are also restless scamps hanging around a certain King's Road clothes shop, and David's own drug-fuelled genius daring him to make the album of his life. The Seventies are about to reignite with a bang.The sixth volume in Simon Goddard's epic adventure through Bowie's greatest decade, Bowie Odyssey 75 is an intricately plotted tour de force of rock'n'roll, crime, punishment, politics, punk - and a cautionary tale of tragicomic addiction.

Sound N' Fury
"[Alan Niven] worked with us and -- whether anybody says it or not -- became like the sixth, silent member." -- Izza Stradlin, Guns N' Roses Experience rock history through sharp, engaging stories featuring icons like Guns N' Roses, The Rolling Stones, and Aerosmith Most rock 'n' roll books are a bore. They all have the same narrative arc and are aimed at the dwindling following that now follows an artist that has long passed their AARP date. Sound N' Fury does not have a story arc. It is a collection of anecdotes, like a record comprised of various tracks -- each one has its point and purpose. Alan Niven, who guided Guns N' Roses from the gutter of Los Angeles to Wembley Stadium, shares stories from his remarkable life as a manager with an immediacy delivered by an extraordinary recall of dialogue. Readers will encounter not just Guns N' Roses (who have sold almost 10 million tickets to their shows) but The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Clarence Clemons, Whitesnake, Elton John, and others who came from humble origins and experienced fame known only to few. Small-town minds collided with worldwide adulation, expectations, and demands. The results are amusing, affirming, and, predictably, disastrous. Keep in mind that rock 'n' roll is God's occupation for the unemployable. Written with a crisp and fluid style, the magnificence and idiocy of the music world will dance off the pages and engross even those who are not rock fans.
Their Generation
The story of The Who's momentous first tours of America told through fabulous photos by the band's official photographer and tour manager Tom Wright.Foreword by Pete TownshendTom Wright first met Pete Townshend at Ealing Art School in the early 60s. He became The Who's official tour photographer and manager from 1967 in the US, also managing the Grande Ballroom in Detroit where The Who's rock opera Tommy premiered. He was much more than the band's photographer, he was a friend and photographed them right up to their farewell tour in 1991. Tom's vast record collection and musical influences had a big impact on the band in their early years.Their Generation covers The Who's first tours of North America, a hugely creative time with explosive performances both on and off stage, the time of their US hit 'I Can See for Miles' and much more.Through the fabulous photographs, many of which have never been seen before, we see the band backstage, onstage, on tour, at rehearsal, at ease, in studio, at home. The photos will be accompanied by extended captions providing background details of the time, the people and the places.As well as The Who, Tom Wright toured with the Rolling Stones, the Faces, The James Gang, J. D. Elvis Costello, The Eagles and many more, documenting their performances and life on the road."One thing is certain, had I not met Tom Wright, The Who would never have become successful." Pete Townshend
Beating Time
The Irish frame drum that we know as 'bodhr獺n' first entered modern-day Irish consciousness in 1959 with John B. Keane's use of a tambourine in his play Sive at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin. From 1960 onwards, it gained tremendous visibility in the traditional music revival through Se獺n ? Riada's Radio ?ireann ensemble Ceolt籀ir穩 Chualann, then by the Chieftains, and, later, by the Bothy Band, Planxty, Christy Moore and De Dannan. By the end of the century, tens of thousands of bodhr獺ns had been made and dispersed worldwide, and the instrument was a staple in traditional music promoted by Comhaltas Ceolt籀ir穩 ?ireann. Today the drum holds a remarkable symbolic presence not only in Irish music, but also in tourism and in sport, to the extent that it rivals the harp as a national emblem. To date there has been no coherent picture of how the bodhr獺n could appear so suddenly in the twentieth century. Its name is certainly old - a word once used for a device which was created millennia ago as an agricultural tool, a container and tray. But as a percussion form with the sophistication that we know it today its traceable history is short, beginning sporadically only in the earlier 1800s, and mostly happening since c.1960, shaped by ingenious stylists, most of whom are indeed still performing among us. Beating Time explores this history for the first time. It radically acknowledges not only the influence of the music trade and British military bands, but that of the touring ensembles that were the roots of today's popular music - the American 'blackface' minstrels. The study also examines the use of tambourines on the 'Wren', and the morphing of this into accompaniment and solo playing in today's 'listening' traditional music. Perhaps most remarkable is the unspoken re-branding of the tambourine as 'bodhr獺n', and its kindling, liberation and validation of the percussion impulse in traditional music. Rather than mythicising the bodhr獺n as the oldest Irish music instrument, this book points to the idea that it should perhaps be celebrated for being the newest. Its rapid emergence and transformation is as remarkable and astonishing an ascent in universal popularity and international acceptance as has been the worldwide rise of the guitar in all music.
The Voice of the Century
In 1935, the Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad made her United States debut in a live radio broadcast that went across the country and made her an overnight success. Flagstad went on to enjoy an astounding career at the Metropolitan Opera, becoming one of the most well-known singers of the twentieth century.The Voice of the Century tells Flagstad's story-one of triumph and tragedy. The shy and stubborn Norwegian singer rescued the New York Metropolitan from bankruptcy in the 1930s, revitalizing interest in Richard Wagner's operas in the United States. She was also a sensation in Europe, performing at Covent Garden in London, at festivals in Zurich, and at La Scala in Milan. In music history, she is considered one of the foremost Wagner interpreters ever. Yet during and after the Second World War, a campaign to discredit her was launched by leading officials in the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, and she was unjustly accused of harboring Nazi sympathies, of singing to Hitler, and of profiting greatly from the war. This smear campaign resulted in major demonstrations at her performances in the United States. Her fortune was seized, and she had to live under police protection. Finally translated into English, this biography looks into the darkest corners of Norwegian intelligence history, scandals that jeopardized both the police and the prosecution's credibility.

The Voice of the Century
In 1935, the Norwegian soprano Kirsten Flagstad made her United States debut in a live radio broadcast that went across the country and made her an overnight success. Flagstad went on to enjoy an astounding career at the Metropolitan Opera, becoming one of the most well-known singers of the twentieth century.The Voice of the Century tells Flagstad's story-one of triumph and tragedy. The shy and stubborn Norwegian singer rescued the New York Metropolitan from bankruptcy in the 1930s, revitalizing interest in Richard Wagner's operas in the United States. She was also a sensation in Europe, performing at Covent Garden in London, at festivals in Zurich, and at La Scala in Milan. In music history, she is considered one of the foremost Wagner interpreters ever. Yet during and after the Second World War, a campaign to discredit her was launched by leading officials in the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, and she was unjustly accused of harboring Nazi sympathies, of singing to Hitler, and of profiting greatly from the war. This smear campaign resulted in major demonstrations at her performances in the United States. Her fortune was seized, and she had to live under police protection. Finally translated into English, this biography looks into the darkest corners of Norwegian intelligence history, scandals that jeopardized both the police and the prosecution's credibility. As creepy and riveting as any thriller, The Voice of the Century is a thoroughly documented account of how a foreign ministry organized a years-long persecution of a world-renowned female artist.
