The From Scratch Rhythm Workbook
Since its formation in 1974, the internationally renowned performing group, From Scratch, has developed a distinctive style of music using sophisticated rhythmic language and unique sculptural instruments. Group founder Philip Dadson and longtime member Don McGlashan have translated this twenty years of experience in to the exercises and game forms presented in The From Scratch Rhythm Workbook. This hands-on resource uses a body-based approach to rhythm and sound, including clapping, stamping, and simple vocals. A wide range of rhythmic and compositional concepts are introduced in exercises that are both fun to do and musically satisfying in themselves. The introductions and discussion notes accompanying each exercise emphasize natural functions such as heartbeat, breathing, sleeping-waking, and walking, to illustrate that our bodies are organized rhythmic systems and that this natural rhythm is the best basis for developing rhythmic skills.

Weather as Medium
An exploration of artworks that use weather or atmosphere as the primary medium, creating new coalitions of collective engagement with the climate crisis. In a time of climate crisis, a growing number of artists use weather or atmosphere as an artistic medium, collaborating with scientists, local communities, and climate activists. Their work mediates scientific modes of knowing and experiential knowledge of weather, probing collective anxieties and raising urgent ecological questions, oscillating between the “big picture systems view” and a ground-based perspective. In this book, Janine Randerson explores a series of meteorological art projects from the 1960s to the present that draw on...
Queer Roots for the Diaspora
Employing rootedness as a way of understanding identity has increasingly been subjected to acerbic political and theoretical critiques. Politically, roots narratives have been criticized for attempting to police identity through a politics of purity—excluding anyone who doesn’t share the same narrative. Theoretically, a critique of essentialism has led to a suspicion against essence and origins regardless of their political implications. The central argument of Queer Roots for the Diaspora is that, in spite of these debates, ultimately the desire for roots contains the “roots” of its own deconstruction. The book considers alternative root narratives that acknowledge the impossibility...

A Tender Moment Between Strangers
In her debut collection of poems, Anna invites you to share a moment with her. There is the frustration of climbing Rangitoto as a child (short-legged, red with prickly heat), and her experience of wanting to hug her father after his heart operation (I'm too scared to hug him in case it bursts). Each poem is a moment, or a memory. Always with a strong sense of place and an eye for detail, Anna draws you in from the first word and by the end of it, you are no longer a stranger.
