Before Sound
In Before Sound, composer Tiziano Manca investigates the premises for and consequences of a major change in his compositional practice: this change emphasizes the temporality of sound and, more recently, the relationship between sounding body and musician. It calls into question the traditional conception of composition and its relation to sound material. Accordingly, Manca examines the theoretical and aesthetic reasons for this shift by interweaving aesthetic reflection on his work with historical research on the notion of musical material and the theory of sound production.
Word of Mouth
Word of Mouth offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the evolving personifications of the ancient concept of fama in ancient and medieval literature and in European figurative art between the end of the fourteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth centuries.
The Dark Precursor
Deleuze’s and Guattari’s philosophy in the field of artistic research Gilles Deleuze’s intriguing concept of the dark precursor refers to intensive processes of energetic flows passing between fields of different potentials. Fleetingly used in Difference and Repetition, it remained underexplored in Deleuze’s subsequent work. In this collection of essays numerous contributors offer perspectives on Deleuze’s concept of the dark precursor as it affects artistic research, providing a wide-ranging panorama on the intersection between music, art, philosophy, and scholarship. The forty-eight chapters in this publication present a kaleidoscopic view of different fields of knowledge and art...
Headaches Among the Overtones
Samuel Beckett produced some of the most powerful writing – some of the funniest but most devastating – of the twentieth century. He described his plays, prose and poetry as ‘an unnecessary stain on the silence’, but the extraordinary combination of concision and richness in his writing stems from his peculiar sensitivity to the sounds and rhythms of words. Moreover, music forms a part of Beckett’s comic aesthetics of failure: it plays a role in his exploration of the possibilities and failures of the imagination, and the ever-failing attempt to forge a sense of self. No wonder, then, that so many composers have taken inspiration from Beckett, setting his words to music or translating into music the dramatic themes or contexts of his work. Headaches Among the Overtones considers both music in Beckett and Beckett’s significance in contemporary music. In doing so, it explores the relationship between words, music and meaning, examining how comparable philosophical concerns and artistic effects appear in literature and music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Italia / Francia
Il volume Italia / Francia propone un’indagine su alcune reciproche influenze tra la cultura musicale di Italia e di Francia nel Novecento. I saggi qui pubblicati sono scaturiti da un convegno tenutosi a Palermo nel 2008 in ideale prosecuzione con due precedenti incontri di studio a Strasburgo e a Cremona. Ancora oggi quei lavori, con qualche piccolo aggiornamento, mantengono attualità e interesse. Gli scritti contenuti in Italia / Francia – di Jean-Jacques Nattiez, Carlo Serra, Gianfranco Vinay, Raffaele Pozzi, Angelo Orcalli, Luigi Manfrin, Gaetano Mercadante, Pietro Misuraca, Gabriele Garilli, Amalia Collisani, Pierre Michel, Alessandro Arbo, Ingrid Pustijanac, Giovanni Damiani – disegnano una rete variegata di flussi, convergenze, echi, alleanze da Dallapiccola e Messiaen ai compositori più recenti.

Belief and Religion in Barbarian Europe C. 350-700
This ground-breaking study offers a new paradigm for understanding the beliefs and religions of the Goths, Burgundians, Sueves, Franks and Lombards as they converted from paganism to Christianity between c.350 and c.700 CE. Combining history and theology with approaches drawn from the cognitive science of religion, Belief and Religion in Barbarian Europe uses both written and archaeological evidence to challenge many older ideas. Beginning with a re-examination of our knowledge about the deities and rituals of their original religions, it goes on to question the assumption that the Germanic peoples were merely passive recipients of Christian doctrine, arguing that so-called ‘Arianism' was ...
An Epistemology of Noise
What do we understand 'noise' to be? The term 'noise' no longer suggests only aesthetic judgement, as in acoustic or visual noise, and is now relevant to domains as varied as communication theory, physics and biology. This trans-disciplinary usage leads to confusion and complication, and reveals that the question of noise is a properly philosophical problem. Presenting an analysis of the rising interest in the notion of noise, this book investigates if there can be a coherent understanding of what it is, that can be effectively shared among the natural and human sciences, technology and the arts. Drawing the philosophical consequences of noise for the theory of knowledge, Malaspina undertake...
Felice Maniero e la mala del Brenta
Jacopo Pezzan e Giacomo Brunoro raccontano l'epopea criminale della "Mala del Brenta", l'organizzazione malavitosa guidata da Felice Maniero. La storia del boss con la faccia d'angelo ed il cuore di diavolo che ha imperversato a Nordest torna in una terza edizione rinnovata e aggiornata al 2020. Erano "i ragazzi di Versace spruzzati di Van Cleef". Erano ragazzi di campagna che non volevano un lavoro e una vita normale. Volevano tutto e lo volevano subito. Al badile hanno preferito la pistola, al furgone la Ferrari. Erano ragazzi di campagna e Felice Maniero era la loro guida. Faccia d'Angelo li ha spinti oltre ogni limite e forse ancora più in là. Ha spalancato loro la porta su mondi e ricchezze che non avrebbero neppure potuto immaginare. Li ha fatti salire su fino al Paradiso e poi, un bel giorno, li ha abbandonati per farli precipitare direttamente all'Inferno. Con un biglietto di sola andata....
