Harmonic Colours For Bass

Harmonic Colours for Bass is designed add style and dimension to your grooves by providing a combination of technical training and musical examples. Music examples are written in standard notation and tablature and are demonstrated on the included play-along recording.

Dean Peer reveals his revolutionary techniques for expanding the range of the bass guitar through the use of "false" and "dual node" harmonics.

An indispensable book on scales and modes for the bass guitarist. The lessons contain diatonic, modal, pentatonic, whole tone, and diminished scales as well as modes of both the harmonic and melodic minor scales, Eastern, Middle Eastern, and other exotic scales of Jimmy's own invention.

This book contains detailed documentary and analytics studies of the music of Chopin, representing the most recent research of leading scholars in the field. The first three essays are concerned with the composer's intentions as revealed in autograph sources. The next group of four essays deal analytically with different aspects of Chopin's musical language, ranging from large-scale tonal planning and the interpretation of harmonic dissonance to praise rhythm and texture. The final three essays are case studies of individual works: the Preludes op. 28, the "Barcarolle", and the Fantasy op. 49.

Looking beyond the boundaries of various disciplines, the author demonstrates that symmetry is a fascinating phenomenon which provides endless stimulation and challenges. He explains that it is possible to readapt art to the sciences, and vice versa, by means of an evolutionary concept of symmetry. Many pictorial examples are included to enable the reader to fully understand the issues discussed. Based on the artistic evidence that the author has collected, he proposes that the new ars evolutoria can function as an example for the sciences. The book is divided into three distinct parts, each one focusing on a special issue. In Part I, the phenomenon of symmetry, including its discovery and meaning is reviewed. The author looks closely at how Vitruvius, Polyclitus, Democritus, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Alberti, Leonardo da Vinci and Durer viewed symmetry. This is followed by an explanation on how the concept of symmetry developed. The author further discusses symmetry as it appears in art and science, as well as in the modern age. Later, he expounds the view of symmetry as an evolutionary concept which can lead to a new unity of science. In Part II, he covers the points of contact between the form-developing process in nature and art. He deals with biological questions, in particular evolution. The collection of new and precise data on perception and knowledge with regard to the postulated reality of symmetry leads to further development of the evolutionary theory of symmetry in Part III. The author traces the enormous treasure of observations made in nature and culture back to a few underlying structural principles. He demonstrates symmetry as a far-reaching, leading, structuring, causal element of evolution, as the idea lying behind nature and culture. Numerous controllable reproducible double-mirror experiments on a new stereoscopic vision verify a symmetrization theory of perception.

Only then will we become aware of our potentialities: the concert of relations that joins the inorganic and the organic, our sensibilities, our thoughts, and our deeds; that which reciprocally unites nature and culture in the human psyche.” From the Foreword by Professor Rupert Riedl “This book is readable even for those, who have not made detailed studies in the phenomena of symmetry, asymmetry … It must be kept in reach to the desk of any researcher of the evolution and any specialist — regardless of his/her discipline — of symmetry phenomena.” Symmetry: Culture and Science

"The author here hypothesizes that the seven notes of the musical scale and the seven colors of the rainbow are directly analogous. He provides a supporting analysis of the ear, eye, and physics of vibration."--Antiquarian bookseller's description.

This thoroughly revised third edition of Allan F. Moore's ground-breaking book, now co-authored with Remy Martin, incorporates new material on rock music theory, style change and the hermeneutic method developed in Moore’s Song Means (2012). An even larger array of musicians is discussed, bringing the book right into the 21st century. Rock's 'primary text' – its sounds – is the focus of attention here. The authors argue for the development of a musicology particular to rock within the context of the background to the genres, the beat and rhythm and blues styles of the early 1960s, 'progressive' rock, punk rock, metal and subsequent styles. They also explore the fundamental issue of rock as a medium for self-expression, and the relationship of this to changing musical styles. Rock: The Primary Text remains innovative in its exploration of an aesthetics of rock.
