Книги про музику

Неперевершений погляд на світ висококласного аудіодизайну для пристрасних колекціонерів, одержимих аудіофілів і фанатів дизайну

У той час, коли продажі вінілових платівок досягли 25-річного максимуму, а аналогові технології забезпечують надзвичайний аудіопереживання, який наш все більш цифровий світ почав прибирати, Hi-Fi є необхідним для читання. У цій унікальній книзі розповідається про те, як, коли та чому світ закохався у зовнішній вигляд, відчуття та звук найсучаснішого аудіообладнання.

Hi-Fi простежує цю захоплюючу еволюцію з 1950-х років до сьогодні (і завтра), переносячи читачів аж до нинішнього ренесансу всього аналогового та появи передових дизайнів для затятих аудіофілів.

Про автора:

Незважаючи на те, що вони походять із надзвичайно різних сфер культурного впливу, усі вони мають одну спільну рису – любов і вдячність до музики та високоякісного відтворення звуку.

Шварц — колишній адвокат, який пішов у відставку, щоб зайнятися своєю пристрастю до музики та аудіообладнання. Він є автором Hi-Fi: The History of High-End Audio Design та Revolution: The History of Turntable Design і пристрасно пропагував аудіо як чітке вираження переконливого промислового дизайну та культурного впливу та значення. Його книги висвітлюють покоління аудіообладнання, водночас вселяючи в читача відчуття, що аудіо є важливим провідником для музичного мистецтва.

Його робота привела його до створення домашніх музичних систем для таких, як бос звукозаписної компанії та Джонні Кеш, Metallica, U2 та продюсер Red Hot Chili Peppers Рік Рубін; разом із генеральним директором дому моди Supreme Джеймсом Джеббіа; колекціонер мистецтва та засновник текстильної компанії Maharam Майкл Махарам, а також багато інших відомих людей у ​​світі комерційного та творчого мистецтва.

The definitive guide to album cover design in the 21st century

We are in the middle of one of the greatest periods in music packaging. Collectible packaging is back at the cultural vanguard: physical records are coveted by millennials, and hip clothing outlets devote massive amounts of space to record players and racks of LPs.

Album Art profiles thirty-three designers at the forefront of this movement, among them Braulio Amado, Chris Bigg, Brian Roettinger and Jonathan Barnbrook. They reveal and analyse the creative process behind each design, offering exclusive insights into how they are able to elevate the simple record cover into something more, something special, something unique, something memorable. Exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in the field, including Stefan Sagmeister and Paula Scher, accompany the profiles. The designers aren’t the only stars of the show – the book reproduces and discusses sleeve designs for such artists as David Bowie, Tame Impala, Kesha, Kim Deal, David Sylvian, The Flaming Lips, Queens of the Stone Age, and more.

Packed with innovative artworks by one-of-a-kind designers, this is the definitive guide to album cover design in the 21st century.

The definitive story of Amy Winehouse’s life and career told through key photographs, memorabilia and recollections by those who knew her best. Curated by Amy’s stylist and close friend Naomi Parry.

Amy Winehouse left an indelible mark on both the music industry and pop culture with her soulful voice and bold 60s-inspired aesthetic. Featuring stories and anecdotes from a wide range of characters connected to Amy, specially commissioned photography of memorabilia, styled and dressed themed sets incorporating Amy’s clothing, possessions and lyrics, and previously unseen archival images, this volume presents an intimate portrait that celebrates Amy's creative legacy.

Interspersed throughout are personal reflections on Amy’s life and work, provided by her friends, colleagues and fans. These include Ronnie Spector, Vivienne Westwood, Bryan Adams, Little Simz, Carl Barât, close friend Catriona Gourlay, Douglas Charles-Ridler (owner of the Hawley Arms), tattooist Henry Hate, goddaughter Dionne Broomfield and DJ Bioux. Each one has a personal story to share and together their anecdotes and reflections build into a complex picture of a much-admired but troubled star. Vice Culture Editor Emma Garland puts these insights into context with an introduction that highlights the principal events and achievements in Amy’s life and work, and the key characters that played a part in it.

Organized broadly chronologically, the book features newly shot lyric sheets, sketches and ephemera together with contextual photographs and video stills, including album, single and promotional artworks and outtakes. Punctuating the story are photographs of dressed room sets each created, designed and styled especially for the book by Naomi Parry to evoke a period or aspect of Amy’s life or personality, incorporating Amy’s clothing, possessions, lyrics and other memorabilia.

With 300 illustrations in colour

Amy Winehouse: Beyond Black will be published on 14 September 2021.

Sound Art. An unprecedented collection of artists’ record covers from the 1950s to today

Art history acquires a new rhythm in this unique anthology of artists’ record covers from the 1950s to today. More than 500 covers trace the interaction of music and visual art through modernism, Pop Art, conceptual practice, and beyond. Featured covers include Salvador Dalí’s skewered butterfly for Jackie Gleason and Damien Hirst’s symbolic skull for the Hours.

Since the dawn of modernism, visual and music production have had a particularly intimate relationship. From Luigi Russolo’s 1913 Futurist manifesto L’Arte dei Rumori (The Art of Noise) to Marcel Duchamp’s 1925 double-sided discs Rotoreliefs, the 20th century saw ever more fertile exchange between sounds and shapes, marks and melodies, and different fields of composition and performance.

In Francesco Spampinato’s unique anthology of artists’ record covers, we discover the rhythm of this particular cultural history. The book presents 500 covers and records by visual artists from the 1950s through to today, exploring how modernism, Pop Art, Conceptual Art, postmodernism, and various forms of contemporary art practice have all informed this collateral field of visual production and supported the mass distribution of music with defining imagery that swiftly and suggestively evokes an aural encounter.

Along the way, we find Jean-Michel Basquiat’s urban hieroglyphs for his own Tartown record label, Banksy’s stenciled graffiti for Blur, Damien Hirst’s symbolic skull for the Hours, and a skewered Salvador Dalí butterfly on Jackie Gleason’s Lonesome Echo. There are insightful analyses and fact sheets alongside the covers listing the artist, performer, album name, label, year of release, and information on the original artwork. Interviews with Tauba Auerbach, Shepard Fairey, Kim Gordon, Christian Marclay, Albert Oehlen, and Raymond Pettibon add personal accounts on the collaborative relationship between artists and musicians.

The author:

Francesco Spampinato is a writer and historian of contemporary art and visual culture currently doing his PhD at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris. He lectures on art, design, and media and was also Adjunct Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory, and Performance Art at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, U.S., from 2011 to 2015. In 2015 he authored Come Together: The Rise of Cooperative Art and Design (Princeton Architectural Press) and Can You Hear Me? Music Labels by Visual Artists (Onomatopee).

The editor:

Julius Wiedemann studied graphic design and marketing and was an art editor for newspapers and design magazines in Tokyo before joining TASCHEN in 2001. His titles include the Illustration Now! and Record Covers series, as well as the infographics collection and books about advertising and visual culture.

Like a well-made playlist, the album covers in this volume combine to create a portrait of cool and culture desired by art, music, and record lovers alike.

Art Sleeves is a time capsule of visual art and music culture as shown through the most important record covers designed by visual artists and graphic designers in the past forty years. This tightly curated collection of covers chosen includes works with significant cultural impact as well as collaborations that themselves created cultural fascination.

The eclectic roster of visual artist-musician collaborations presented spans art and musical genres as well as generations, including Ryan McGinley for Sigur Rós, Kara Walker for Arto Lindsay, Peter Saville for Joy Division, Barbara Kruger for Growing Up Skipper, Jeff Koons for Lady Gaga, Tauba Auerbach for Glasser, and Stanley Donwood for Radiohead, to name a few. From postmodernist paintings and minimalism to collage and photography, as well as New Wave, emo, pop, and punk, the albums chosen present a bright and rich visual and cultural history.

This inspiring volume celebrates this long creative tradition of visual artist-musician collaborations and, just like a perfect album, it will be treasured by art, music, and record lovers alike.

Біллі Айліш - феномен моди. Її гот-скейт-аніме гардероб голосно й чітко резонує з її поколінням і всіма, хто не хоче бути визначеним. Біллі, яку обслуговують найбільші будинки моди світу, вміє підкреслювати інклюзивність, образ тіла, екологічні проблеми тощо, і водночас завжди виглядати чудово. В останньому доповненні до цього популярного серіалу модна письменниця Террі Ньюман звернула увагу на молоду мегазірку з оверсайз одягом і ще більшою позицією.
Коли Біллі Айліш увірвалася на музичну сцену у віці всього 14 років, її одяг сказав усім, ким вона є, ще до того, як вони завантажили трек. Вона була дикою і задумливою. Її одяг був великим і відповідав її погляду. Її гардероб складався з брендів, які розмовляють мовою покоління Z і всіх, хто не хоче, щоб його визначали інші. Дорослішання нічого не змінило, хоча тепер вона керує будинками моди по всьому світу. Таким чином, Біллі часто змішує та поєднує Chanel, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons і Prada зі знахідками від Slumpy Kev, Skoot, The Incorporated і Freak City, і результат виходить за рамки метамодернізму. Цей погляд цілком може вкусити руку, яка його годує, але Айліш це не хвилює. Вона носить те, що їй подобається, коли їй подобається. І ми тут для цього.

- Приголомшливі зображення глобального явища Біллі Айліш
- Відкриття модних ідей від автора бестселерів «Гаррі Стайлз і одяг, який він носить» і «Ріанна та одяг, який вона носить»
- Елегантна презентація в твердій обкладинці, включаючи обкладинку зі справжньої тканини
- Ідеальний подарунок для шанувальників і модниць

Террі Ньюман працювала у індустрії моди понад 20 років, як редактор i-D, Attitude і Self Service і як автор дописів для газет, зокрема Guardian, Independent, Times і Sunday Times. Вона також написала та презентувала програми про моду у Великій Британії для Channel 4 (She's Gotta Have It і Slave). Автор книжок Гаррі Стайлз і одяг, який він носить (ACC), Легендарні автори та одяг, який вони носили та Легендарні художники та одяг, який вони носили (Harper Design), вона брала участь у книгах, зокрема i-D Fashion Now, Fashion Now 2 і Soul i-D. Зараз вона читає лекції в Університеті творчих мистецтв в Епсомі, Англія, і живе в Лондоні з чоловіком і двома дітьми.

The official illustrated history of Blue Note, the most influential and important brand in jazz

Blue Note is not only known as the purveyor of extraordinary jazz but is also famous as an arbiter of cool. The superb photography of co-founder Francis Wolff and the cover designs of Reid Miles were integral to the label’s success and this highly illustrated publication – featuring the very best photographs, covers and ephemera from the archives, including never-before-published material – commemorates Blue Note’s momentous contribution to jazz, to art and design, and to the music business.

Tracing the evolution of jazz from the boogie-woogie and swing of the 1930s, through bebop, funk and fusion, to the eclectic mix Blue Note releases today, the book also narrates a complex social history from the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany to the developments in music and technology in the late 20th century. Celebrating over eight decades of extraordinary music, this book demonstrates how Blue Note has stayed true to its founders’ commitment to ‘Uncompromising Expression’.

About the Author:

Richard Havers was a British music author, journalist, consultant and broadcaster. He was the author of over fifty books, including Rolling Stones 50 and Verve: The Sound of America, both published by Thames & Hudson.

'If there is anything new to be discovered about Bob Dylan, you can probably find it in The Bob Dylan Centre... Now the Bob Dylan Centre is publishing its first book, essentially the archive in miniature: Bob Dylan: Mixing up the Medicine. It is a 608-page tome examining over 1000 images and objects culled from the collection by archivists and curators Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel.' - The Telegraph

Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma. The documents, as essential as they are intriguing-draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera- comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan's early hero, Woody Guthrie.

Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate's many musical fans as well as a broader cultural audience.

Edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE focuses a close look at the full scope of Dylan's working life, particularly from the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative processes-his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio recording, and into the present day.

The centerpiece of BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings, photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.

With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished writers, artists and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus, Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this volume, shed new light on not only Dylan's creative process, but also their own.

BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the magnum opus every Bob Dylan fan has been waiting for since the 60s and will be a landmark publication for the ages.
 

In honor of Bob Marley's seventy-fifth birthday, this glorious oversize book collects more than 150 photographs that celebrate the life and influence of the forefather of reggae and one of the greatest musical and sociopolitical icons of twentieth-century pop culture.

Drawing exclusively on photos in the Marley family archives, the book mixes the iconic and the intimate, bringing together striking images of Marley as a performer onstage with unseen glimpses into his creative process in and out of the studio and his family life in Jamaica. Making the most of its oversize pages, the book is designed as a monument to his influence.

Focusing on the last decade of his life--the period of his greatest worldwide fame -- and with excerpts from unpublished interviews and prophetic quotes alongside the images, this is a definitive portrait of one of the great artists of the twentieth century made by those who knew him best.

Let’s Get It On. Behind the scenes of the 1970s music explosion with Bruce W. Talamon

Talamon saw it all during the golden age of soul, R&B, and funk. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, this young African American photographer from Los Angeles found himself backstage with an all-access pass to the heart of the music scene. He caught his first big break landing a position as a staff photographer at SOUL Newspaper in LA in the early 1970s, just as soul, R&B, and funk were becoming part of the mainstream. He captured the rehearsals and sound checks, recording sessions and costume fittings, the quiet reflective moments and life on the road, and, of course, the wild photo shoots and memorable performances. These photographs define an era famed for its glamour, fabulous fashions, and utter devotion to the groove.

Including close to 300 photographs from 1972 to 1982, the extensive Talamon archives are presented in full detail for the first time. Whether you’re a diehard soul fan or a thrilled newcomer to the aesthetic magic of the 1970s, the collection exudes the infectious spirit of an exuberant age. Featuring icons such as Earth, Wind & Fire; Marvin Gaye; Diana Ross; Parliament-Funkadelic; Al Green; Gil Scott-Heron; James Brown; Barry White; Rick James; Aretha Franklin; the Jackson Five; Donna Summer; and Chaka Khan and many others; there are also several stops at the legendary Soul Train studios. Talamon documented a visual period in black music that lasted way past the midnight hour and will never come again.

This release is an affordable, compact version of our Art Edition, limited to 500 copies and featuring a portfolio of four prints signed by Bruce W. Talamon.

У 1967 році 17-річний фотограф-початківець на ім’я Ед Караефф опинився в першому ряду поп-фестивалю в Монтереї, Каліфорнія. Караеф ніколи раніше не бачив Хендрікса і не був знайомий з його музикою. Але у Караефа була його незмінна камера, і коли Хендрікс запалив гітару, він зробив фото. Ця картина – Хендрікс спалює свою гітару в Монтереї – стала одним із найвідоміших зображень рок-н-ролу. Фотографія, яка визначила Хендрікса як художника, з’явилася на обкладинці журналу Rolling Stone не раз, а двічі, і поклала початок фотокар’єрі Караєффа.

Приурочений до святкування 50-річчя поп-фестивалю в Монтереї, Burning Desire розкриває ніколи раніше не публіковані зображення з чудового архіву, присвяченого Хендріксу, який зібрав Караеф. Від сцени до залаштунків, Джимі Хендрікс був таким же електричним перед камерою, як і коли він грав на гітарі.

У Burning Desire Караефф демонструє понад 100 зображень, у тому числі рідкісні знімки та аркуші контрактів, і розповідає про свій досвід спілкування з цим неймовірним музикантом. Зміст: Міжнародний фестиваль поп-музики в Монтереї: 18 червня 1967 Hollywood Bowl: 18 серпня 1967 Anaheim Convention Center: 9 лютого 1968 Ackerman Union Ballroom: 13 лютого 1968 Hollywood Bowl: 14 вересня 1968 Whiskey-A-Go-Go: жовтень 1968 Newport ’69: 20-22 червня, 1969 рік

- Рідкісні та небачені фотографії Джимі Хендрікса, включаючи 100 чорно-білих і кольорових зображень, включаючи найкраще рок-н-рольне зображення всіх часів: Хендрікс спалює свою гітару на сцені на Міжнародному фестивалі поп-музики в Монтереї.
- Ексклюзивні кадри за лаштунками
- Увічнює найвідоміші виступи Хендрікса на сцені, включаючи Monterey, Whisky A-Go-Go і Newport, де шанувальники, «можливо, побачили найкращий виступ у своєму житті».
- Містить багато передрукованих статей із музичних журналів 1960-х років, які висвітлюють зростання одного з найвидатніших рокерів, яких коли-небудь знав світ.
