What this richly researched and entertaining book shows is that far from dehumanizing and deskilling music, the drum machine depended on human imagination: the vision and dedication needed to create the technology in the first place, the ingenuity of amateur and professional musicians alike, as they struggled with these newfangled boxes and extracted magic from them.

They project the personas and visions of musical artists; they stand at the cutting edge of developments in popular culture; and they fuse and revise multiple frames of reference, from dance to high fashion to cult movies and television shows to Internet memes. Above all, music videos are laboratories for experimenting with new forms of audiovisual expression. \u003ci\u003eThe Rhythm Image \u003c\/i\u003eexplores all these dimensions. The book analyzes, in depth, recent music videos for artists ranging from pop superstar The Weeknd to independent women artists like FKA twigs and Dawn Richard. The music videos discussed in this book all treat the traditional themes of popular music: sex and romance, money and fame, and the lived experiences of race and gender. But they twist these themes in strange and unexpected ways, in order to reflect our entanglement with a digital world of social media, data gathering, and 24\/7 demands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA quarter-century back, MTV’s \u003ci\u003eAmp\u003c\/i\u003e showcased electronica videos, eerie creatures of beats-driven posthumanism. The show ended, but the videos multiplied, digital tinkering to visualize hip-hop, R\u0026amp;B, and new divas alongside EDM for stop-start viewing on YouTube. Steven Shaviro philosopher of speculative fiction, at last names this core category: the rhythm image. Gazing and auditing, applying theory as needed, he makes that tweak in the assemblage on your screen a frontier. The filmic nugget pulsates, in his cuts from micro to macro analysis, becoming a fundamental cultural reshaping—the visual groove as 21st century homeland. * Eric Weisbard, author of Songbooks: The Literature of American Popular Music *\u003cbr\u003eWhen is a book on music video not “just” a book on music video? When it deftly weaves descriptions of digital art-making with the ideas of Henri Bergson, Immanuel Kant, Marshall McLuhan, and Vivian Sobchack to expand on Gilles Deluge’s film-philosophy and articulate a new regime of the image: the rhythm image. Through luxuriant close readings and invigorating exposition, Shaviro shows how contemporary music videos immerse viewers in the new temporal and affective relationship that organize digital media culture. A delight to read and to contemplate! * Caetlin Benson-Allott, Professor of English and Film \u0026amp; Media Studies, Georgetown University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eIn recent years, the once denigrated and impure object of the music video has received more serious attention and nowhere more so than in Steven Shaviro’s ground-breaking work, \u003ci\u003eThe Rhythm Image. \u003c\/i\u003eCombining close engagement with the audiovisual expressive properties of specific digital music videos with broader sociological and philosophical concerns, this book argues for the emergence of a new diagram of audiovisual expression based neither in movement nor pure temporality but in rhythm. While, on the one hand this book engages with Deleuze’s cinema books and through them a range of philosophical references from Kant to Whitehead, read in conjunction with contemporary accounts of post-cinema and digital media, at its core is an intense engagement with the contemporary music videos for artists including Massive Attack, FKA Twigs, Tierra Whack and Tkay Maidza that it engages with in loving detail. Ultimately it suggests that these music videos allow for the grasping of contemporary social transformations affecting race, gender, sexuality and mediated desires intensively via moments of audiovisual bliss. * Michael N.

He shares his passion and knowledge from over twenty years of industry experience, including an introduction to templates and a step-by-step guide to their set-up and a discussion of drum replacement technology.  Channel and setting information for each of the drum, instrument and vocal sections of his template is discussed along with the master channel and his methodology of mixing and mastering.  Finally, he gives professional advice and best practice.  This book features the full template used on sixteen No 1 records!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a gift of gratitude to anyone that wants to take a step into out-of-this-world sounding songs. -- Rodney Atkins, multi-million selling recording artist\u003cbr\u003eThis book is accessible and engaging, with plenty of pithy one-liners that make serious and thought-provoking points. Essential reading for anyone interested in improving their mixing skills, and streamlining their working methods. -- Paul Tingen * Sound on Sound *\u003cbr\u003eSome absolute gems of advice to pick up here. The brilliant and clear way everything is presented and the actual (hallelujah!) settings for your template laid out for you, make this essential for any mix engineer, or anyone striving to be one. * Computer Music Review *\u003cbr\u003eThe book is also an excellent reference for identifying frequencies a pro mixer will often cut or boost on certain instruments; I always nodded my head at Billy’s choices. Throughout the book there are a lot of thoughts and practices that will help a mix engineer keep their focus, searching for “feel” as opposed to “perfection.” There really is a lot of information packed into these 126 pages. -- Larry Crane reviewer Tape Op * Tape Op *","brand":"The Crowood Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868317364567,"sku":"9781785007491","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781785007491.jpg?v=1722287449"},{"product_id":"revolution-the-history-of-turntable-design-9781838665616","title":"Revolution: The History of Turntable Design","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs featured in \u003cem\u003eWallpaper*, The Wall Street Journal, Monocle\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eNew York Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e’s, \u003cem\u003eThe Strategist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe design, history, and cultural impact of turntables and vinyl technology: the twin powerhouses of the 'vinyl revival' phenomenon \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterest in turntables and records is enjoying a renaissance as analog natives and new converts find their enduring style and extraordinary sound inimitable. \u003cem\u003eRevolution\u003c\/em\u003e, a follow-up to Phaidon's beloved \u003cem\u003eHi-Fi: The History of High-End Audio Design\u003c\/em\u003e, explores the design and cultural impact of the turntable, the component at the center of the 'vinyl revival'.

He long dreamed of a career in music -- first as Elvis, then as the next George Harrison -- but it almost turned out very differently. Dutifully following the path his parents had laid out for him, he obtained an MBA from an Ivy League university and took a plum job in an industry he came to despise. Then, in 1970, a chance letter sent to CBS Records boss Clive Davis led to a new opportunity . . . and a place in rock and roll history.  As an A\u0026amp;R man at Epic Records, Werman helped introduce the world to REO Speedwagon, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick; he also discovered KISS, Rush, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but his record label passed on all of them. Then, as an independent producer, he oversaw landmark albums by Motley Crue (Shout At The Devil), Twisted Sister (Stay Hungry), Lita Ford (Dangerous Curves), Jeff Beck (Live With Jan Hammer), Poison (Open Up And Say ... Ahh!), and many more. All in all, his record-making resume includes twenty-three gold- or platinum-selling albums and cumulative sales of more than fifty-two million copies.  After bearing witness to several sea changes in the music industry, Werman retired from producing in 2001 and reinvented himself as an award-winning innkeeper in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. And that might have been that, until an off-the-cuff rebuttal to a disparaging critique of his role in making the Motley Crue album Girls, Girls, Girls on a music website led to a fortnightly column and now this book -- an honest and engaging insider account on how some of the best-loved albums of the 1970s and 80s came to be. A must for anyone interested in the glory days of rock and metal, Turn It Up! offers valuable insights into the recording process, the recording studio, the role of the producer, and the production values that are essential to the creation of a hit record.","brand":"Outline Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868965744983,"sku":"9781911036340","price":15.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781911036340.jpg?v=1722290589"},{"product_id":"how-music-changed-youtube-9798765100707","title":"How Music Changed YouTube","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuillaume Heuguet\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Contemporary Art and Art History at ESACM (Clermont-Ferrand), France, and the Editor-in-Chief of\u003ci\u003e Audimat\u003c\/i\u003e, a French journal of music criticism.
