MiDi WiN MAC | 9.98 MB

INSTANT COMPOSITION.
Basic, traditional jazz and swing drum MIDI variations.

Even if they’re the focal point of the beat, they constantly shift, move and feed off the spur of the moment, a creative urge or an unbridled notion. Jazz is the art of musical storytelling where the instruments all speak their own language, but with one coherent voice. Welcome to the chapter about drums.

English | 2018 | ISBN: 3825369560 | 425 Pages | PDF | 3.03 MB

The author takes Greil Marcus's capacious category of "weirdness" in new directions to examine a tension in certain expressions of American music and music communities since the 1980s. It locates this tension in the space between the artists striving for authenticity in the values they want to communicate on the one hand, and the demands of the marketplace on the other. The results are "weird" in both the economic and artistic sense.
