| Title: Anthropocosmic Theatre |
| By (author): Nicolas Nunez, Deborah Middleton, Franc Chamberlain |
| ISBN10-13: 1862181608 : 9781862181601 |
| This new edition of Núñezs Anthropocosmic Theatre contains the text of the original english translation plus additional contributions from Núñez and others. In part one, Núñez traces his researches in nahuatlan, tibetan and western theatre, to arrive at his design for a theatre of the human in the cosmos. Part Two explores how this work has developed, during the last three decades, into an approach to performance training and production that uniquely combines ritual and ontemplative influences. New and previously untranslated writing from Núñez presents his idiosyncratic view of an awakened and expansive role for theatre today. |

| By (author): Richard Steinitz |
| ISBN10-13: 1862180997 : 9781862180994 |
| Explosions in November tells the story of one of Europes leading cultural institutions, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (hcmf), through the eyes of its founder and former artistic director, Professor Richard Steinitz. From its modest beginnings in 1978, when winter fog nearly sabotaged the inaugural programme, to todays internationally renowned event, hcmf has been a pioneering champion of the best in contemporary music.Now Richard Steinitz brings his insider view on the people behind the festival and how they made each year a success. He recalls his encounters with some true giants of music, including Boulez, Berio, Cage, Ligeti, Stockhausen and Xenakis. Discover how the author survived mushroom-hunting with John Cage, how the festival engineered a historic reconciliation between Cage and Pierre Boulez and how a ceiling fitting nearly brought Stockhausens career to a premature end. It is a compelling, inspiring and often entertaining story. Explosions in November reveals the full picture of a festival that continues to surprise, delight and provoke its audiences to this day. |

| Title: From Mummers to Madness |
| Sub-title: A Social History of Popular Music in England, c.1770s to c.1970s |
| By (author): David Taylor |
| ISBN10-13: 1862181926 : 9781862181922 |
| This book considers developments in the production and consumption of popular music in England over a period of some two hundred years, which saw dramatic changes in the socio-economic, demographic and cultural life of the country. Popular music, it is argued, was not simply a response to the wider developments that were taking place but contributed to the ongoing process of adaptation and change. |

| Title: Gear Acquisition Syndrome |
| Sub-title: Consumption of Instruments and Technology in Popular Music |
| By (author): Jan-Peter Herbst, Jonas Menze |
| ISBN10-13: 1862181845 : 9781862181847 |
| Gear Acquisition Syndrome, also known as GAS, is commonly understood as the musicians unrelenting urge to buy and own instruments and equipment as an anticipated catalyst of creative energy and bringer of happiness. For many musicians, it involves the unavoidable compulsion to spend money one does not have on gear perhaps not even needed. The urge is directed by the belief that acquiring another instrument will make one a better player. This book pioneers research into the complex phenomenon named GAS from a variety of disciplines, including popular music studies and music technology, cultural and leisure studies, consumption research, sociology, psychology and psychiatry. The newly created theoretical framework and empirical studies of online communities and offline music stores allow the study to consider musical, social and personal motives, which influence the way musicians think about and deal with equipment. As is shown, GAS encompasses a variety of practices and psychological processes. In an often life-long endeavour, upgrading the rig is accompanied by musical learning processes in popular music. |
| Table of Contents: |
| Introduction; Gear Acquisition Syndrome; Role and Context of Technology for Music-Making; Collecting Consumption; Interviews and Survey of Musicians; Online Message Boards; Conclusion: Towards a Theory of GAS. |
