An excerpt from the book: 'I can still remember the thrill I experienced when my first folded book structure emerged from my fingers – how eager I was to explore its possibilities and to share it with whoever was interested. The Flag Book, as I now call it, is a simple accordion and has interlocking pages oriented in opposite directions. Little did I know that this simple structure would have legs and be the catalyst for the next forty–plus years of thinking about and making books. The common perception of the book today is fairly straightforward: a series of pages organized around a spine and protected on either side by two covers. This format allows for easy access, storage and retrieval of information. Yet what happens when the book is stripped away of centuries of preconceptions and is allowed to reveal something else: playfulness, utility, invention? Expanding the notion of the book is what the structures in the following chapters of The Art of the Fold attempt to do. Exploring its tactile, sculptural form, primarily through folding methods, the book as a structural object is celebrated while content is considered in a new and unconventional way. My range in this medium has always been broad. In part this is due to my introduction to the world of bookbinding and some chance encounters. In the 1970s in New York City, the art and craft of hand bookbinding and papermaking were experiencing an unprecedented revival. I was fortunate to arrive in the city at just this moment. With an art–school background and an impulse to make things, I was naturally drawn to pursue this new opportunity. The Center for Book Arts, the famous forerunner of so many centers yet to come, was located in a small storefront just down the street from where I lived on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Under the direction of founder Richard Minsky, it had a radical mission: to push concept, materials, printing and making of artist books in a new direction. When Richard dared me to teach at the Center one evening a week, I was hooked. My career as a book conservator and a book artist has now spanned over 45 years. As head conservator at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, I've had the opportunity to handle some of the rarest volumes and manuscripts in the world. I have also dealt with decrepit books, torn maps and countless curiosities discovered in stacks and archives. All were endless sources for ideas and provided a springboard for a departure from tradition. Leading book–arts workshops around the world and a 25 year tenure teaching in the graduate program for Book Arts and Printmaking at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia have shown me, in retrospect, that the more I taught, t

Download or read book The Irish Accordion Tutor Vol 1 written by Damien Connolly and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DVD SOLD SEPARATELY! (The DVD contains close-ups of the author as he plays slowly through each tune in the manual).This highly praised Irish Accordion Tutor, Vol 1, by All Ireland accordion Champion Damien Connolly:* Caters for reading both staff and BoxTab(tm) (a unique variation of the ABC notationsystem) notation styles. Each tune is written out both ways on facing pages. Not only will this make learning easy, but it can help musicians to understand both systems of music notation, by comparing one against the other.* Provides its readers with detailed fingering for each tune-even the grace notes! When learned and practiced, the suggested fingering patterns and techniques should give the player greater control of the accordion, and ultimately greater freedom of expression while playing.* Helps you learn in stages. Grace notes are indicated by smaller finger numbers. If a studentwishes to "put off" learning the grace notes, he or she can concentrate on the main notes, and come back to the grace notes at a later stage.* Gives clear illustrations of how to play musical ornaments such as grace notes, tripletsand rolls along with alternate ways of playing these same ornaments. For example,Damien introduces four types of triplet, four types of rolls in both the manual and video.* Uses color to teach how to play basses. Each bass and chord pair is indicated by a specificcolor symbol overlayed on the BoxTab of selected tunes. Many accordion students have a dread of basses. However, using this clear-cut system, the student will easily grasp how they are used.Perhaps the most innovative feature of The Irish Accordion Tutor is that it indicates the bellows direction by color coding. At a glance, the student can tell whether a certain note is produced by pushing or pulling. This will greatly speed up the learning process for most students.The Irish Accordion Tutor caters for all levels of accordion students. While no single fingeringsystem can claim definitive status over another, this book provides one excellent techniquefrom which the student may develop his or her own style.
