Guide to the Contemporary Harp
Harps and harp music have enjoyed a renaissance over the past century and today can be heard in a broad array of musical contexts. Guide to the Contemporary Harp is a comprehensive resource that examines the vibrant present-day landscape of the harp. The authors explore the instrument from all angles, beginning with organology; moving through composition, notation, and playing techniques; and concluding with the contemporary repertoire for the harp. The rapid diversification in these areas of harp performance is the result of both technological innovations in harp making, which have produced the electric harp and MIDI harp, and innovative composers and players. These new instruments and techniques have broadened the concept of what is possible and what constitutes harp music for today. Guide to the Contemporary Harp is an essential guide for any harpist looking to push the instrument and its music to new heights.
Aberrant Nuptials
Unique focus on the relation between artistic research and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze Aberrant Nuptials explores the diversity and richness of the interactions between artistic research and Deleuze studies. “Aberrant nuptials” is the expression Gilles Deleuze uses to refer to productive encounters between systems characterised by fundamental difference. More than imitation, representation, or reproduction, these encounters foster creative flows of energy, generating new material configurations and intensive experiences. Within different understandings of artistic research, the contributors to this book—architects, composers, film-makers, painters, performers, philosophers, sculptors, and writers—map current practices at the intersection between music, art, and philosophy, contributing to an expansion of horizons and methodologies. Written by established Deleuze scholars who have been working on interferences between art and philosophy, and by musicians and artists who have been reflecting Deleuzian and Post-Deleuzian discourses in their artworks, this volume reflects the current relevance of artistic research and Deleuze studies for the arts.
Sur le cœur
Paris, 2027. Depuis que les femmes parlent et qu’on les écoute, de nouvelles pathologies apparaissent qui alertent l’O.M.S et la communauté scientifique. Pour y faire face, l’hôpital de la Pitié-Salpetrière vient d’ouvrir une unité de soin dirigée par Rose Spillerman, neuropsychiatre iconoclaste, flanquée de son indéfectible assistant Mario, chef de la chorale de l’hôpital. Aujourd’hui, accompagnée de sa soeur Marguerite, Iris est placée en observation car elle a brutalement cessé de parler. Tous les moyens seront bons pour élucider le cas Iris — la chambre d’hôpital devient alors le lieu de toutes les fictions, toutes les fantasmagories.

Nature et Musique
Son essence mystérieuse semble faire de la musique le langage même de la nature. Rêvant de pouvoir agir sur elle à la façon d’Orphée, les compositeurs ne cessent de l’écouter pour intérioriser ses voix : ils s’emploient tour à tour à l’imiter, à reproduire ses mouvements, à peindre ses effets sur la sensibilité, à enregistrer et métamorphoser ses sons, ou à puiser en elle de puissants modèles formels.Des Quatre Saisons (Vivaldi) à La Mer (Debussy), de la Symphonie pastorale (Beethoven) au Catalogue d’oiseaux (Messiaen) et à l’écologie sonore, Emmanuel Reibel met ici en lumière la façon dont les représentations musicales de la nature se sont articulées à l...

The Marseille Mosaic
Formerly the gateway to the French empire, the city of Marseille exemplifies a postcolonial Europe reshaped by immigrants, refugees, and repatriates. The Marseille Mosaic addresses the city’s past and present, exploring the relationship between Marseille and the rest of France, Europe, and the Mediterranean. Proposing new models for the study of place by integrating approaches from the humanities and social sciences, this volume offers an idiosyncratic “mosaic,” which vividly details the challenges facing other French and European cities and the ways residents are developing alternative perspectives and charting new urban futures.
