Download or read book The Encyclopedia of American Organettes written by Q. David Bowers and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Organettes were sometimes called 'the poor man's musical box' at their inception in the 1870s, for they were a relatively cheap instrument made in vast numbers that sold at prices that the general public could easily afford. Many types of instruments were produced, especially in the United States. One of their unique characteristics was that they often had very curious mechanisms. The music strips, discs, rolls, and other means of making the instrument work, were not often compatible with other manufacturer's machines. This Encyclopedia is a close look at the various manufacturing companies in the United States that produced these musical marvels, from the American Automatic Organette Company to the World Manufacturing Company. Each company has an individual chapter dedicated to its history, profusely illustrated with original black and white advertising and / or color lithographs of the instruments. Meticulous research has provided, where available, company owners, location of factories, instruments produced, periods of company activity. Since many of the companies produced a variety of instruments with different names, there is an Easy-Finding List that gives the names and trademarks of various American organettes (and related instruments) and the chapters in which primary information about them can be found. Certain retailers sold many different brands. For brands known to have been manufactured by others, the organettes are listed under the maker. As an example, the Massachusetts Organ Co. retailed many organettes made by others. For other makers and brands see the indispensable Index at the end of the book. This will be an exciting addition to your book collection of automatic musical instruments. And if this is your first volume, then you will have started your collection with a book penned by a well-known and respected author whose multiple books in the field have no equal." -- BookBaby.com.
Download or read book Inventing Entertainment written by Brian Dolan and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brian Dolan's social and cultural history of the music business in relation to the history of the player piano is a critical chapter in the story of contemporary life. The player piano made the American music industry-and American music itself-modern. For years, Tin Pan Alley composers and performers labored over scores for quick ditties destined for the vaudeville circuit or librettos destined for the Broadway stage. But, the introduction of the player piano in the early 1900s, transformed Tin Pan Alley's guild of composers, performers, and theater owners into a music industry. The player piano, with its perforated music rolls that told the pianos what key to strike, changed musical performance because it made a musical piece standard, repeatable, and easy rather than something laboriously learned. It also created a national audience because the music that was played in New Orleans or Kansas City could also be played in New York or Missoula, as new music (ragtime) and dance (fox-trot) styles crisscrossed the continent along with the player piano's music rolls. By the 1920s, only automobile sales exceeded the amount generated by player pianos and their music rolls. Consigned today to the realm of collectors and technological arcane, the player piano was a moving force in American music and American life.

Download or read book Dawn of the DAW written by Adam Patrick Bell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dawn ot the DAW tells the story of how the dividing line between the traditional roles of musicians and recording studio personnel (producers, recording engineers, mixing engineers, technicians, etc.) has eroded throughout the latter half of the twentieth century to the present. Whereas those equally adept in music and technology such as Raymond Scott and Les Paul were exceptions to their eras, the millennial music maker is ensconced in a world in which the symbiosis of music and technology is commonplace. As audio production skills such as recording, editing, and mixing are increasingly co-opted by musicians teaching themselves in their do-it-yourself (DIY) recording studios, conventions of how music production is taught and practiced are remixed to reflect this reality. Dawn of the DAW first examines DIY recording practices within the context of recording history from the late nineteenth century to the present. Second, Dawn of the DAW discusses the concept of "the studio as musical instrument" and the role of the producer, detailing how these constructs have evolved throughout the history of recorded music in tandem. Third, Dawn of the DAW details current practices of DIY recording--how recording technologies are incorporated into music making, and how they are learned by DIY studio users in the musically--chic borough of Brooklyn. Finally, Dawn of the DAW examines the broader trends heard throughout, summarizing the different models of learning and approaches to music making. Dawn of the DAW concludes by discussing the ramifications of these new directions for the field of music education.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Music and Disability Studies written by Blake Howe and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2016 with total page 953 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability is a broad, heterogeneous, and porous identity, and that diversity is reflected in the variety of bodily conditions under discussion here, including autism and intellectual disability, deafness, blindness, and mobility impairment often coupled with bodily deformity. Cultural Disability Studies has, from its inception, been oriented toward physical and sensory disabilities, and has generally been less effective in dealing with cognitive and intellectual impairments and with the sorts of emotions and behaviors that in our era are often medicalized as "mental illness." In that context, it is notable that so many of these essays are centrally concerned with madness, that broad and ever-shifting cultural category. There is also in impressive diversity of subject matter including YouTube videos, Ghanaian drumming, Cirque du Soleil, piano competitions, castrati, medieval smoking songs, and popular musicals. Amid this diversity of time, place, style, medium, and topic, the chapters share two core commitments.0First, they are united in their theoretical and methodological connection to Disability Studies, especially its central idea that disability is a social and cultural construction. Disability both shapes and is shaped by culture, including musical culture. Second, these essays individually and collectively make the case that disability is not something at the periphery of culture and music, but something central to our art and to our humanity.
Download or read book Sound Actions written by Alexander Refsum Jensenius and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A techno-cognitive look at how new technologies are shaping the future of musicking. “Musicking” encapsulates both the making of and perception of music, so it includes both active and passive forms of musical engagement. But at its core, it is a relationship between actions and sounds, between human bodies and musical instruments. Viewing musicking through this lens and drawing on music cognition and music technology, Sound Actions proposes a model for understanding differences between traditional acoustic “sound makers” and new electro-acoustic “music makers.” What is a musical instrument? How do new technologies change how we perform and perceive music? What happens when composers build instruments, performers write code, perceivers become producers, and instruments play themselves? The answers to these pivotal questions entail a meeting point between interactive music technology and embodied music cognition, what author Alexander Refsum Jensenius calls “embodied music technology.” Moving between objective description and subjective narrative of his own musical experiences, Jensenius explores why music makes people move, how the human body can be used in musical interaction, and how new technologies allow for active musical experiences. The development of new music technologies, he demonstrates, has fundamentally changed how music is performed and perceived.
