Book excerpt: This manual has been designed and written with the purpose of introducing key concepts and areas of debate around the "creative economy", a valuable development opportunity that Latin America, the Caribbean and the world at large cannot afford to miss. The creative economy, which we call the "Orange Economy" in this book (you'll see why), encompasses the immense wealth of talent, intellectual property, interconnectedness, and, of course, cultural heritage of the Latin American and Caribbean region (and indeed, every region). At the end of this manual, you will have the knowledge base necessary to understand and explain what the Orange Economy is and why it is so important. You will also acquire the analytical tools needed to take better advantage of opportunities across the arts, heritage, media, and creative services.

Download or read book The Science of String Instruments written by Thomas D. Rossing and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas D. Rossing String instruments are found in almost all musical cultures. Bowed string instruments form the backbone of symphony orchestras, and they are used widely as solo inst- ments and in chamber music as well. Guitars are used universally in pop music as well as in classical music. The piano is probably the most versatile of all musical inst- ments, used widely not only in ensemble with other musical instruments but also as a solo instrument and to accompany solo instruments and the human voice. In this book, various authors will discuss the science of plucked, bowed, and hammered string instruments as well as their electronic counterparts. We have tried to tell the fascinating story of scienti?c research with a minimum of mathematics to maximize the usefulness of the book to performers and instrument builders as well as to students and researchers in musical acoustics. Sometimes, however, it is dif?cult to “translate” ideas from the exact mathematical language of science into words alone, so we include some basic mathematical equations to express these ideas. It is impossible to discuss all families of string instruments. Some instruments have been researched much more than others. Hopefully, the discussions in this book will help to encourage further scienti?c research by both musicians and scientists alike. 1.1 A Brief History of the Science of String Instruments Quite a number of good histories of acoustics have been written (Lindsay 1966, 1973; Hunt 1992; Beyer 1999), and these histories include musical acoustics.

Download or read book The Physics of Musical Instruments written by Neville H. Fletcher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the history of musical instruments is nearly as old as civilisation itself, the science of acoustics is quite recent. By understanding the physical basis of how instruments are used to make music, one hopes ultimately to be able to give physical criteria to distinguish a fine instrument from a mediocre one. At that point science may be able to come to the aid of art in improving the design and performance of musical instruments. As yet, many of the subtleties in musical sounds of which instrument makers and musicians are aware remain beyond the reach of modern acoustic measurements. This book describes the results of such acoustical investigations - fascinating intellectual and practical exercises. Addressed to readers with a reasonable grasp of physics who are not put off by a little mathematics, this book discusses most of the traditional instruments currently in use in Western music. A guide for all who have an interest in music and how it is produced, as well as serving as a comprehensive reference for those undertaking research in the field.

Tom's unique approach to The Art Of Lutherie will empower and inspire you to create more than just a guitar, but a truly unique work of art. The information that is generously shared within this insightful and timeless work is both practical and applicable. It contains the same hard-won wisdom that only comes from years of experience and experimentation that Tom uses in creating his inspiring instruments. Over the years, he has producedinstruments considered to be some of the bestsounding guitars ever made. Learning the steps of how to build a guitar is important, but understanding whymaster luthiers take those steps and make those decisions can empower you to make your own educated choices. This will allow you to create unique guitars, and the world needs your art, your guitars - your important contribution. The Art Of Lutherie, a truly unique and inspiring guide, can prepare you to reach new heights when designing and creating unique guitars. It is not often I heap such lavish praise on people; however, Tom is in this case more than deserving: I know of no other luthier whose work I respect more. Tom knows his craft inside and out; he pours his soul into every guitar he makes; heuses cutting-edge science to guide his work, and it shows...as head of Artist Relations and Product Development at Mel Bay, it gives me great pleasure topublish Tom's work, which will no doubt take the art of lutherie to a new level. I hope you'll spend some time soaking in this book - it will certainly augmentyour musicality - Collin Bay. Includes access to online video

His Guitar shop "NoahJames Guitars/Leader Music Inc. is just minutes outside of Philadelphia Pennsylvania and was founded in 2003. Jim, however, has been in the Guitar biz for over 30 years now and has gained quite a reputation for himself! One of the area's most dexterous in terms of Guitar knowledge and "know how." Graduating as a music major at Bucks County Community college, he started out in 1984 and got his start working his way up through the ranks at Hoshino USA, the makers of Ibanez Guitars located in Bensalem, PA. While at Ibanez Jim became the USA main guitar designer and custom builder. He was also the overseas purchaser. Part of his job included studying the market and designing new models in terms of current trends and analyzing new market areas. He worked with the artists endorsed and designed models to fit their specific needs. Jim has an impressive resume of artists he had done work for. He has built and designed custom guitars for Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, George Benson, Paul Gilbert, Larry Mitchell, John Petrucci, Andy Timmons, Gerald Veasley, Gary Willis, Jon Finn, and many other Ibanez endorsers past and present. He marketed new products to the buyers at Guitar Center, Musicians Friend, Sam Ash, Music 123, and Brook Mays.

SA series, EDC Bass, EDB Bass, Talman series, USRG series, RG Series, USATK Series, Seven string jazz guitar, Seven string acoustic guitar, current Artist series, Blazer series. He made 3D Cad drawings and spent much time traveling overseas to Asia where he also learned to speak basic Korean and Japanese. If you think that wasn't enough to keep him busy during the Ibanez years, Jim rolled up his sleeves and sunk his teeth into writing a fabulous book for Ibanez entitled "Ibanez the Untold Story" which was published in 2004. There was so much work, research, and thought that went into that thick hard bound impressive book! A total must have for any Ibanez owner. Throughout 1994-2003 Jim also was responsible for the layout, models and detail of the Ibanez guitar catalogs. Taking this knowledge with him has aided in the magnificent catalogs he now produces for his own guitar manufacturing company! In 2002 Jim then published "Guitars: Design, Production and Repair," which has been very successful! Jim has also written and work published in Korean Guitar magazine called "Rockit." He had a section in tremolos' In Dan Erlewins "How to Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great." For the Philadelphia Chapter of the Arts, he was called upon to speak at numerous seminars. He is also a consultant for various musical instrument websites. Jim is a family man in his spare time. He spends time with his two sons Noah and Evan who are close in age. He and his wife Jen also enjoy doing home improvements and just got done laying a new hardwood floor throughout their home in Bucks County, PA. It doesn't seem that Jim can stay away from working with wood at work or during his down time! Get Guitars: Design, Production, and Repair - TODAY!
