'Sharp! Flicknife Records and Other Adventures' is an unflinching
and honest portrait of Marc Frenchy Gloder's journey from Grenoble
ghetto to independent record label success at the heart of London's
music scene. Published on 1st September 2016 by New Haven, Marco
Frenchy Gloder's memoirs is co-written with Greg Healey and is the
result of over two years of extensive interviews. A fascinating and
in depth insight into the world of counter culture and alternative
music, from the mid 1960s to the early 1990s, it touches on Soul
boys, freaks, punks, goth and beyond.A tale of tragedy, excess,
adventure and close calls it describes Europe's exploding post war
youth movements at first hand.Frenchy gives a unique insight into
the festivals, communes and student strikes of the late 1960s, life
in the squats of early Punk, and the rise of independent music in
the 80s.Be it the street gangs of his youth, who settled their
differences with knife fights, or his doomed attempt to smuggle
heroin from Iran that ended in imprisonment in an Iranian jail,
Frenchy's story has the kind of drama that comes from living life
on the edge.As he found his place in the music business with the
launch of Flicknife, Frenchy worked with some of the most important
names in alternative music. Hawkwind, Alien Sex Fiend , Charlie
Harper, Glen Matlock, The Saints, The Barracudas and many more
found a home on his label, and he hung out with a host of others,
including Lemmy, Jimmy Page and the Velvet Underground's Nico. A
truly extraordinary memoir of truly extraordinary times.

2018 In the past two decades digital technologies have
fundamentally changed the way we think about, make and use popular
music. From the production of multimillion selling pop records to
the ubiquitous remix that has become a marker of Web 2.0, the
emergence of new music production technologies have had a
transformative effect upon 21st Century digital culture. Sonic
Technologies examines these issues with a specific focus upon the
impact of digitization upon creativity; that is, what musicians,
cultural producers and prosumers do. For many, music production has
moved out of the professional recording studio and into the home.
Using a broad range of examples ranging from experimental
electronic music to more mainstream genres, the book examines how
contemporary creative practice is shaped by the visual and sonic
look and feel of recording technologies such as Digital Audio
Workstations.

An intimate, moving, dramatic story about the musicians in a great
orchestra who make music come alive in performance and recording.
The musicians here are members of the fabled Boston Symphony
Orchestra, led by conductor Seiji Ozawa, during a season
highlighted by Mahler's Second Symphony, The Resurrection.
Mixing and mastering, the two final steps in the complex process of
sound engineering, require both artistic finesse and technical
facility. Even the slightest difference in the way a sound is
processed can lead to a shift in the overall aesthetic of a piece,
and so sound engineers must work towards an understanding of sound
engineering that is particularly oriented towards the artistic and
aesthetic. In order to create effective mixes, a sound engineer
must maintain a distinct set of artistic goals while drawing on an
in-depth understanding of the software involved in the process.
Creating final masters requires specialized aural skills and a
similarly advanced understanding of the software in order to
fine-tune the product with respect to these goals. Mixing and
Mastering in the Box addresses the practical and technological
necessities of these two final steps without neglecting the
creative process that is integral to the creation of high-quality
recordings. Savage focuses primarily on creating mixes and masters
in the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), or "in the box," currently
a popular platform in the field of sound engineering due to the
creative advantages and advanced technological capabilities it
offers to its users. However, much of the information presented in
Mixing and Mastering in the Box is also applicable to analog mixing
gear or a hybrid system of digital and analog tools. This book,
which features over one hundred illustrations and a comprehensive
companion website, is ideal for beginning or intermediate students
in sound engineering with a focus on DAW, recording artists who do
their own mixing and mastering, or musicians who wish to be better
informed when collaborating on mixes and masters.
A No Depression Most Memorable Music Book of 2022 The forceful
music that rolled out of Muscle Shoals in the 1960s and 1970s
shaped hits by everyone from Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin to
the Rolling Stones and Paul Simon. Christopher M. Reali's in-depth
look at the fabled musical hotbed examines the events and factors
that gave the Muscle Shoals sound such a potent cultural power.
Many artists trekked to FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound in
search of the sound of authentic southern Black music—and at
times expressed shock at the mostly white studio musicians waiting
to play it for them. Others hoped to draw on the hitmaking
production process that defined the scene. Reali also chronicles
the overlooked history of Muscle Shoals's impact on country music
and describes the region's recent transformation into a tourism
destination. Multifaceted and informed, Music and Mystique in
Muscle Shoals reveals the people, place, and events behind one of
the most legendary recording scenes in American history.
Designed to accompany the textbook of the same name, Workbook for

The Fundamentals of Sound Science teaches the principles of the
physics of sound, as well as basic principles of physics, by
linking them to music and musical instruments. The book begins by
asking students to question the meaning of sound itself. What is
sound? How far and how fast does it travel? By asking students to
think about sound in this way, the material is able to connect our
daily experience of sound to principles of physics such as
distance, velocity, scalars, and vectors. Through the next six
chapters students learn about harmonic motion, waves, the sources
and physical properties of sound, and measurements of loudness. The
second half of the book uses music as the vehicle for a deeper
exploration of sound. Students study some basic musicianship,
including articulation, intervals, and harmonic series. These
concepts become the springboard for an examination of the Fourier
Analysis of Simplest Sound Spectra, which encompasses steady tones,
periodic waves of arbitrary form, square, triangular, and sawtooth
waves, and modulated tones. Different families of instruments are
discussed in depth: percussion, strings, flutes and recorders,
woodwinds, and finally the human voice. The book concludes with a
chapter on room acoustics, which covers the precedence effect and
reverberations. Each chapter is filled with detailed explanations,
and numerous examples are used to enhance student understanding.
Study questions are included to encourage critical thinking, and
prepare students for tests. Chapter summaries aid retention by
reviewing terms and relations. By finding the common ground between
physics and music, The Fundamentals of Sound Science strengthens
understanding of both, revealing that many principles of the
physical world are a part of our common, taken for granted, daily
experience. All we have to do is listen. The Fundamentals of Sound
Science can be used for introductory courses in physics, including
those at the high school level. The accessibility of the material
makes the book appropriate for non-majors at the university level,
and students can achieve mastery of the content without a
background in mathematics, making the book ideal for general
education courses.
"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans
10:17 Practically every church in the free world utilizes a sound
system of some size or form, but an alarmingly small amount of
churches actually have trained personnel who can acceptably operate
the system and allow the congregation to simply focus on Jesus. The
Sound Guide is designed to cut to the chase and get right into the
foundational elements that every sound person must know. With an
easy-to-understand approach, this book de-mystifies and brings
clarity to the essentials of the Audio Ministry. Whether you are
new to running sound, or have been at it for years, The Sound Guide
is a must-read...your pastor, worship team, and congregation will
be very happy you did
Russ Hughes (www.Pro-Tools-Expert.com): "We took a look at it and
were impressed by the care and attention to detail." Mike Thornton,
Sound on Sound Pro Tools columnist and deputy editor of Pro Tools
Expert: "I did appreciate the book, even as a long standing Pro
Tools user I found a number of useful features, not least of which
the comparison between all the different types of Pro Tools." The
famous sound engineer Bob Katz presented the original version with
an enthusiastic: "Simone is the best person I could think of to
take you there." This clear and concise guide takes the reader by
the hand through the first steps in the use of Pro Tools, the audio
system born twenty years ago and adopted by some of the best
professionals worldwide. The title (stopwatch in hand) is accurate
for those who can't wait to get stuck into their new software.
However, this guidebook is crammed full of so many theoretical and
practical tips, tricks, and points to explore at leisure that you
are sure to enjoy many hours (and cups of coffee) poring over these
pages. This is an essential reference tool for anyone taking Pro
Tools for a quick test drive and will be cherished by everyone who
is on the road to becoming a better sound engineer.
I wrote this book in order to build a bridge between Indian and
Western music. Indian music isn't always written down in a way that
all can understand it, and my goal is to enable the wishes of all
musicians who want to play Indian music on their instruments. As
always with Indian music, though, the notes on the page are just a
guide, and all stylistic improvisation is welcome and advised. I
have chosen some of the most melodious, recent Bollywood songs
hoping that different age groups can relate to the songs. Tracks
for each song, customized to the arrangement that I felt sounded
best when I played it on alto saxophone, are available for purchase
separately on a CD. The notes in this book are provided in three
different keys (Bb, C and Eb) so that a variety of instrumentalists
can play these songs. Bb instruments commonly include clarinet,
tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, trumpet, Bb cornet and
euphonium. Instruments in C include flute, oboe, piccolo, piano,
trombone and all string instruments. The most common Eb instruments
are alto saxophone and baritone saxophone.
