Creak
This book explores what pulse phonation is, what it can do, and how it develops into a cultural practice. It is a multidisciplinary inquiry that merges theoretical frameworks with embodied practice to discuss the processes of producing and perceiving pulse phonation, its use and significance in contemporary discourse, its functions in the animal world, and its place in a broader reflection on voice and sound production. It presents a thorough investigation of pulse phonation to jointly take into consideration its sociocultural, bioacoustic, and creative dimensions. In the book, leading scholars and practitioners such as Nassima Abdelli-Beruh, Diana Sidtis, Katherine Meizel, and John Nix present a wide array of approaches, from sociolinguistics and voice anatomy to acoustic ecology and performance studies. These approaches include case studies of creaky voices across cultures and media; physiology and acoustics of the pulse register; creak singing including possibilities, perspectives, pedagogies; pulse phonation, embodiment, and gender; the "phenomenon of extreme vocal fry"; vocology, somatics, and the disease condition; the use of pulse phonation from live arts to film studies; composition, improvisation, and creation with creak; and the pulse register in animal vocalization. This groundbreaking publication concludes with a multifaceted series of testimonies from users and listeners of creaky voices.

The Military Band
La Musique Militaire (1917) is one of the first comprehensive histories of military music in Europe, written by Marie Bobillier under the pseudonym Michel Brenet. At a time when scholarly music writing was dominated by men, Bobillier-an accomplished historian and musicologist-brought intellectual rigour and a unique perspective to this neglected topic.The book traces the development of military bands from ancient times through the 19th century, with a particular focus on France. It explores how military music evolved in tandem with changes in warfare, politics, and instrument-making. From the fifes and drums of the Renaissance to the wind orchestras of the Napoleonic era and beyond, Bobillier examines the aesthetic, ceremonial, and practical functions of music in the armed forces. She discusses composers, bandmasters, instrument makers (notably Adolphe Sax), and the military institutions that shaped this repertoire.What sets this book apart is its blend of technical knowledge, cultural insight, and archival research. Bobillier presents military music not merely as an accompaniment to battle, but as a living art form that reflects national identity, civic pride, and artistic ambition. The work also preserves a vivid memory of France's military bands before their modern standardisation, making it a crucial source for historians, conductors, and instrument scholars alike.This English translation brings Bobillier's ground-breaking study to a wider audience for the first time. With annotations to clarify historical references and context, the edition restores her voice to the history of military music-a field she helped to define but in which she was long overlooked.

The Power of Pastiche
In eighteenth-century England, "variety" became a prized aesthetic in musical culture. Not only was variety--of counterpoint, harmony, melody, and orchestration--expected for good composition, but it also manifested in cultural mediums such as songbook anthologies, which compiled miscellaneous songs and styles in single volumes; pasticcio operas, which were cobbled together from excerpts from other operas; and public concerts, which offered a hodgepodge assortment of different types and styles of performance. I call this trend of producing music through the collection, assemblage, and juxtaposition of various smaller pieces as musical miscellany; like a jigsaw puzzle (also invented in the eighteenth century), the urge to construct a whole out of smaller, different parts reflected a growing desire to appeal to a quickly diversifying England. This book explores the phenomenon of musical miscellany in early eighteenth-century England both in performance culture and as an aesthetic. Chapters offer analyses of concert programming, early music criticism, the compilation of pasticcio operas and songbook miscellanies, and even the ways in which composers and performers shaped their freelancing careers. Musical miscellany, in its many forms, juxtaposed foreign and homegrown musical practices and styles in order to stimulate discourse surrounding English musical culture during a time of cosmopolitan transformation as the eighteenth century unfolded.
The Beatles and Black Music
The Beatles and Black Music discusses the influence that Black music and culture has had over the Beatles throughout their collective and solo careers. Tracing the history of Black musical and cultural influence on popular music from the Transatlantic Slave Trade in 1795 to the nascent Mersey Beat scene in the early 1960s, this book is the first to explore the Beatles from this important cultural lens. The Beatles and Black Music discusses the influence that Black music and culture has had over the Beatles throughout their collective and solo careers. Richard Mills adopts a musicological and historiographic account to demonstrate the extent to which Liverpool's colonial history influenced the Beatles' music. Beginning with the grand narrative of British colonial history pre-Beatles, it covers the influence of Black music and culture on the Beatles' teenage years in the 1950s, their association with Lord Woodbine, their love of American Rhythm and Blues in the mid-1960s, and extends to a discussion of post-colonial British identity and the lasting effect Black music has had on the Beatles' legacy and continues to have on the solo careers of Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney.
Mystical Crooner
Leonard Cohen continues to exert a fascination for his fans even eight years after his death. The charismatic Jew from Montreal's French Quarter entered the music industry in the late sixties from a literary background, creating a sensation with his song "Suzanne," which had first been recorded by an early booster of his, Judy Collins. Bob Dylan and others had already paved the way for the phenomenon of the singer-songwriter to prosper. Cohen's first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen, produced a new kind of sound for a generation shaking off the shibboleths of the past and ready to embrace the sentiments of the Thinking Man. The "darling of the bedsit" spent the next few decades alternating albums with concerts as his hypnotic airs penetrated the hearts and minds of audiences all around the world. In his private life the so-called Ladies Man juggled asceticism with indulgence. Aubrey Malone met him in 1988. At that time he was emerging from a period of relative obscurity to launch a renaissance with his album I'm Your Man. In 1990, burned out from touring, he entered the Zen retreat of Mount Baldy in San Francisco, spending four years there before reverting to "the day job." A few years later he discovered he'd been defrauded of the lions share of his fortune by his trusted friend and manager, Kelley Lynch. Bankruptcy forced him to go back touring in what proved to be a blessing in disguise. Audiences old and new flocked to his concerts. "Mystical Crooner" analyses the cerebral troubadour as he struggles with romance, perfectionism and a career that went from adulation to indifference before his celebrated Indian summer.

I Thought I Heard You Speak
Factory Records has become the stuff of legend. The histories of the label have been told from many perspectives, from visual catalogues and memoirs to exhibitions. Yet no in-depth history has ever been told from the perspectives of the women who were integral to Factory's cultural significance. The untold history of Factory Records is one of women's work at nearly every turn: recording music, playing live gigs, running the label behind the scenes, managing and promoting bands, designing record sleeves, making films and music videos, pioneering sound technology, DJing, and running one of the most chaotic clubs on the planet, The Ha癟ienda. Told entirely in their voices and featuring contributions from Gillian Gilbert, Gina Birch, Cath Carroll, Penny Henry and over fifty more interviewees, I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SPEAK is an oral history that reveals the true cultural reach of the label and its staying power in the twenty-first century.
