Book Synopsis Yma Sumac [exotica vocalist] by : Stone Blue Editors
Download or read book Yma Sumac [exotica vocalist] written by Stone Blue Editors and published by SBE Media. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yma Sumac: Exotica World Music Vocalist The next Musician Snapshots book in the 'Music You Should Hear Series' is a profile of singer Yma Sumac. With a four-octave range, Peruvian vocalist Yma (pronounced EE-ma) Sumac shocked and captivated 1950s America and became a household name around the world. Her first few albums included loose interpretations of South American melodies with Afro-Cuban rhythms and Western-style instrumentation, making her albums avant garde yet accessible, and cementing her status as the queen of the new musical genre of “exotica.” Not only did her extremely wide octave range make audiences stop in their tracks (for reference, most people have a singing range of around 2-3 octaves), but her fearless vocal experimentation was a stark contrast to the sweet crooners like Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby who were the top sellers in 1950, the year her first album was released. She was soon featured on Broadway, cast in movies alongside stars such as Charlton Heston, and performing sold-out shows from Las Vegas to New York.

Book Synopsis William Basinski [drone & ambient musician] by : Stone Blue Editors
Download or read book William Basinski [drone & ambient musician] written by Stone Blue Editors and published by SBE Media. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next title in the “Music You Should Hear Series” is a profile of drone/ambient musician William Basinski. His work as a musician, composer, remixer, and producer is a marriage of opposites: classical/populist; ephemeral/timeless; Eastern/Western (both in terms of the United States, and the wider world); inspired/crafted, ambient/overwhelming. Basinski's music - largely focused on aged recordings made with archaic technology - is an extended meditation on longing and decay, bursting forth into an infinite state of eternal grace.
Download or read book Yma Sumac written by Nicholas E. Limansky and published by YBK Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half the range of the piano keyboard! At last a serious critical examination of the utterly unique vocalist celebrated for her "four-octave voice," Yma Sumac! A confounding, sometimes heartbreaking, mixture of absurd show-biz hype, stunning virtuosity, and sometimes ravishing artistry, Yma Sumac was a firmly established recording artist of the folk music of her native Peru when she came to America to be "discovered." And discovered she was-by the publicity department of Capitol Records and the "Exotica" pop music maestro Les Baxter. From there her story becomes ever more tangled and weird-and deeply interesting. Yma herself is an amazingly contradictory mix. Nicholas Limansky (a formally trained professional singer) is able to demonstrate that she was startlingly sophisticated technically even though almost entirely self-taught. What is perhaps even more astonishing than the celebrated 4-octave range of her voice-and its effortless clarity and sweetness-was the nearly incredible longevity-fully 4 decades!-of her ability to command it. With the enthusiastic collaboration of her quixotic, charming, slightly rascally husband, she went along with the corruption of her artistic identity by the gleefully amoral record-company publicists, creators of her public persona-Inca Princess (sometimes Priestess!)-from a primitive mountain tribe (or, sometimes, descended from a line of kings that was said to go back several hundred years before there were any Incas)! Imperious as any diva with her intimates and musical collaborators, she maintained an unassailable dignity and unaffected graciousness as a performer and in relation to her fans. All documented in this large, lavishly illustrated volume-an extensively researched biography (her birth date established once and for all!), many personal anecdotes of her intimates, technical discussions of her voice and her music, generous excerpts from reviews and priceless examples of publicity material. About the author: Nicholas E. Limansky studied voice at Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore and has a performance degree from the University of West Virginia. He has sung with The Bach Aria Group, Musica Sacra, New York Choral Artists (of the New York Philharmonic), and the Opera Orchestra of New York. He reviews new vocal releases of historical singers for Opera News, The Record Collector, Classical Singer and Opera Quarterly. His vocal specialty is the acuto-sfogato (extended-vocal-range) soprano. His work on Yma Sumac has covered nearly three decades.
Book Synopsis Carl Craig [Detroit techno] by : Stone Blue Editors
Download or read book Carl Craig [Detroit techno] written by Stone Blue Editors and published by SBE Media. This book was released on 2015-09-12 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl Craig [Detroit techno] Musician Snapshots: The Music You Should Hear Series Here’s a “musician snapshot” look at producer/musician/DJ/labelhead Carl Craig and his important recordings. One of the most successful of Detroit’s second wave of producers, Carl Craig’s career spans ‘60s psychedelia; futuristic funk of the ‘70s; and every style of electronic dance music imaginable - Techno, electro, acid, hip-hop, breakbeats, drum ‘n bass, and academic synthesis. His music is an antidote to the idea that electronic musicians are all addicted to the next shiny thing, with no sense of history or appreciation of the past. Craig’s music smashes all manner of imaginary racial, gender and cultural barriers, along the way, as we are all one, under Techno.
