The School of Night
The result of sleepless nights seeking clarity to questions with hardly any answers. An intimate collection of drawings by the artist and the writings of some of his best poet friends are the backbone of this limited edition book project. I was immediately overtaken by the strength of the artwork and the craze behind every single drawing, while realizing that many of the objects depicted in them were part of the actual décor of his home studio. It became apparent that these were a complex series of notations of an intense dialogue with the night, that could only be produced under extreme distress. Masks from his walls had come to life to becoming actors in these imaginary nightly plays. Dancers, friends, exiles, saints, devils, childhood memories, sex, love and death are the characters that take center stage every night at around 3am. It is this struggle, trapped behind the lines and strokes of every drawing, that makes the publication of this project an urgency. This book has been crafted by a group of talented friends captivated by the artist's insomnia. We promise to sleep better once completed or simply embrace sleepless nights as Arturo has with the School of Night.
Five Suns
A climate defined by wet and dry seasons, a mostly mountainous terrain, a biota prone to disturbances, a human geography characterized by a diversity of peoples all of whom rely on burning in one form or another: Mexico has ideal circumstances for fire, and those fires provide a unique perspective on its complex history. Narrating Mexico’s evolution of fire through five eras, historian Stephen J. Pyne describes the pre-human, pre-Hispanic, colonial, industrializing (1880–1980), and contemporary (1980–2015) fire biography of this diverse and dynamic country. Creatively deploying the Aztec New Fire Ceremony and the “five suns” that it birthed, Pyne addresses the question, “Why does...
Traditional Afro-Cuban Concepts in Contemporary Music
This course examines the infusion of traditional Afro-Latin and especially Afro-Cuban concepts into contemporary Western music. Upon completion of this book you will have mastered many new skills that will help you become a more accomplished percussionist and, more importantly, a more complete musician. By exploring the role of percussion in traditional Afro-Cuban music, you will understand the important contribution drums make towards a complete musical piece, and that a drum is not merely a rhythmic placeholder but truly a musical instrument worthy of recognition. While this book focuses primarily on hand percussion, its basic principals are also applied to the drum kit. There is no standard notation in this book; rather, the rhythms are illustrated with easily understood charts based on counting out subdivided beats. Two companion CDs offer audio examples of all major points.
Bembe Conversations
Welcome to the rhythm Bembe! This book/Audio set isa self-study methoddesigned to reveal the beautiful music that has been developed and maintained in Cuban culture. This is accomplished through reading, interpreting percussion charts, and interacting with a series of audio recordings and exercises which concentrate on the drum, percussion, and vocal parts of therhythm Bembe. While working through the progressive exercises and charts, you will begin to understand rhythms with a triplet swing, in otherwords, rhythms in multiples of three beats. In traditional Bembe, the supporting drums tend to remainrhythmically fixed, not deviating from a basic pattern. Also,traditional Bembe usually incorporates only a single mid-range support drum. In this lesson,some of the artistic license has been applied to these traditional aspects, adding a second mid-rangedrum to the ensemble, and expanding on the basic dialogues maintained between the supporting drums. Course objectives, a bibliography, and an extensive glossary are included. Includes access to online audio
