Musik

HAR DU ØVET DIG? er et kærligt frispark til den traditionelle musikskoleundervisning med særlig fokus på håndtering af relation, kommunikation, motivation og præstation. Bogen udfordrer den traditionelle musikundervisning og er nyskabende i sin måde at betragte solo- og holdundervisning på. Den henvender sig til alle instrumentfaggrupper, kor- og orkesterledere, musikskoleledere, ældre elever og forældre, men også folkeskolens musikundervisere kan finde god inspiration til mange af musikundervisningens helt særlige udfordringer (...)

Endelig kommer denne omfattende biografi om David Bowies liv og ikke mindst hans store kunstneriske produktion. Bogen tegner et portræt af musikeren, der træder ud af massekulturens skygge og bliver et stilikon i efterkrigstidens musik- og kunstmiljø. Vi hører om Bowies forhold til buddhismen og det okkulte, hans komplicerede familieliv og hans mange kærlighedsforhold. Marc Spitz fortæller spændende og med et enormt udsyn om Bowies baggrund i mod- og hippiescenen i 1960’ernes swinging London, om 1970’ernes sex, drug & glitter, der gav liv til Bowies alter-ego Ziggy Stardust. Og endelig hører vi om Bowies kanonisering til international superstjerne i 1980’erne og hans efterfølgende uomtvistelige status som den alternative kulturs grå eminence og hans kolossale indflydelse på de seneste generationers musik og kunst.Marc Spitz er rockjournalist ved bl.a. Spin, New York Times og Blender og har skrevet flere bøger, heriblandt om Green Day og den amerikanske punk. I 2012 udkommer hans store biografi om Mick Jagger, 'Jagger'.

Der er nok at tage af. Den klassiske musiks lagre er uudtømmelige - vi kan bare tage for os af retterne. Der er klassisk for alle.Her i bogen skriver vi om nogle af dem. Tyve af de rigtigt gode af Bach, Bernstein, Orff, Mozart . De fortæller alle sammen en god historie - om kærlighed, om fortvivlelse, optur og nedtur, glæde og sorg. Det handler altså om musikken selv.Den måde, vi omgås musikken på - i sprog, teori, teknik etc - behandles i kapitlerne ind imellem. Vi taler om musikken, og vi taler om musikken i et sprog, som er ligetil. Der er ingen underlige fagudtryk eller svære begreber. Det er slet ikke nødvendigt, for musikkens sprog er for alle - klassisk for alle.Selve musikken - den levende musik - er der også. For på bogens hjemmeside www.klassiskforalle.dk ligger den klar. Musikken i de bedste indspilninger, og oven i købet nyttige versioner af de tyve musikstykker med kommentarer, mens musikken spiller. Som om vi sad sammen og snakkede om det. Vi deler vores ­erfaringer, så der bliver klassisk for alle.Klassisk for alle er for dem, der har lyst til at komme ind i den klassiske ­musiks verden og gerne vil vide mere.Klassisk for alle er bogen, der uden nørderi og indforståede fagudtryk ­fortæller om musikken og dens skabere, om instrumenterne, om udtale af navne, om noder, tonearter, om dirigenten og mange andre emner fra den klassiske ­musiks verden.Klassisk for alle har masser af billeder, som fortæller deres egen historie om musikken, musikerne og musikkens publikum.Klassisk for alle er en bog og en hjemmeside, men først og fremmest musik.Gå frem og tilbage mellem musikken og det, der omgiver den, viden, kommentarer, synspunkter. Og vælg selv hvornår du vil nyde den rene musik i lyset af din nye viden.

Da DAD startede, var vi ikke andet end nogle store drenge, der tilfældigvis havde fundet opskriften på succes. Vi lænede os forover og satte farten op. Samtidig jagtede jeg et liv uden for reglerne. Rockverdenen dyrkede vildskaben gennem stoffer, druk og tilfældig sex, men jeg kom hurtigt til at længes efter noget andet. Når jeg kigger tilbage, er det ufatteligt, at vi ikke gik i flere fælder. Punk, ko-rock, hair-metal og radiohits kan bare ikke blandes i en og samme musikkarriere. Ligesom kunst og rockmytologi ikke kan mixes med et ordentligt familieliv. Eller hvad? DAD-forsanger Jesper Binzer fortæller hudløst ærligt om 30 år i rock’n’roll.

EN NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLERMalibu, 1983. Det er aftenen for de berømte Rivasøskendes myteomspundne fest, der hvert år markerer, at sommeren går på hæld. I timerne mellem skumring og solopgang bliver de fire søstre og brødre tvunget til at se hemmeligheder i øjnene, de har holdt skjult for sig selv og hinanden samt – ikke mindst – stå ansigt til ansigt med deres fraværende far, den legendariske crooner Mick Riva. Og da morgenen gryr, står Malibu i flammer.Malibu i flammer er en roman om at være født som sine forældres barn, men vokse til at blive sin egen person. Om et surferliv i pastel-80‘ernes Malibu og omverdenens sult efter indersiden af et liv levet i rampelyset. Og om at sætte ild til det hele for at undslippe en kurs udstukket af andre.

Set against the backdrop of the Beatles splintering over both business and creative issues, The McCartney Legacy: Volume 1: 1969-73 covers a period in which Paul McCartney recreated himself, both as a man and as a musician. This is an in-depth and revealing exploration of his creative life beyond the Beatles?featuring hundreds of interviews with fellow musicians, tour managers, recording engineers, producers, filmmakers, and more.The story of the Beatles has been told many times, covering all periods and perspectives. Paul McCartney's work in the 50 years since the Fab Four's breakup has been extraordinarily successful and enduringly popular?his 26 post-Beatles albums have sold upwards of 86.5 million copies; McCartney's 2019 Freshen Up tour was the highest grossing tour ever, in the entire world; and his last solo album McCartney III debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and number two on Billboard 200. Beside his extraordinary, creative solo output, he has collaborated with the most influential artists of his generation and the next: from Elvis Costello to Stevie Wonder, from Michael Jackson to Dave Grohl, even with Johnny Cash and Kanye West. McCartney, too, has explored new poetry styles with Allen Ginsburg and teamed up with Peter Martins and the NYC Ballet to create Ocean's Kingdom. The list goes on from there. And he has done all this post-Beatles and while maintaining a mostly normal family life. Paul McCartney has lived ten lifetimes in the span of one and become increasingly more relevant, yet curiously, his creative output since the Beatles has never had the full exploration such a life and body of work demands.The McCartney Legacy gives McCartney's post-Beatles life and work the kind of in-depth treatment that Mark Lewisohn has given the Beatles, and Philip Norman has given John Lennon. It is the first truly comprehensive biography, and the most finely detailed exploration of McCartney's creative life beyond the Beatles, ever undertaken.

Upon its release, Don't Break the Oath charted fifth on the official British heavy metal album list and was supported by a two month long sold-out American tour in early 1985. The band's controversial stage appearance attracted the attention of the Parental Resource Music Center committee, ironically reassuring the band its position on the charts. But though the album was hugely popular in the anglophone metal scene, it was conceived in peripheral Denmark. This book discusses the relationship between center and periphery.

A collection of wildly inventive portraits of musician Tom Waits, the result of a 30-year collaboration with photographer and illustrator Matt MahurinThis visually arresting book is a testament to the unique collaboration, going back three decades, between the photographer and illustrator Matt Mahurin and the musician Tom Waits.Having shot magazine portraits, album covers, and music videos of Waits, Mahurin was inspired to resurrect 100 dormant film negatives as a jumping off point to explore his own surreal, poetic, and occasion­ally dark vision. The images vary from traditional por­traits to ones that capture Waits in concert—but the majority are richly imagined scenes in which Waits is more muse than musician. In addition to the diverse images, the book includes a foreword by Waits, an essay by Mahurin on their longtime collaboration, and 20 original paintings, drawings, photographs, and digital images inspired by Waits’s song titles.

Da Niels Skousen brød 22 års albumstavshed med mesterlige Dobbeltsyn i 2002, indledte han samtidig et poetisk comeback uden sidestykke i dansk rock. ­Siden er det blevet til en stribe stærke studiealbum, to liveplader samt selvbiografien Herfra hvor jeg står om barndommen og de yngre år. I Min skyline sættes for første gang fokus på Skousens arbejde i dette årtusinde – og gennem såvel arkivmateriale som nye samtaler med hovedpersonen og hans nærmeste samarbejdspartnere åbnes op for det poetiske univers, Skousen søsatte allerede i 1971 med klassikeren Herfra hvor vi står. Fremfor at henfalde til nostalgien har Skousen insisteret på at forblive i øjenhøjde med sin samtid – mens personlige og eksistentielle temaer har vævet sig ind og ud af sangene. I Min Skyline træder Skousen frem som eftertænksom troubadour midt i tidens strøm – og som en af modersmålets helt store, poetiske stemmer. Med billeder af Morten Rygaard og Gorm Valentin
