Solemn Departure - Book 1: Instruments of Death!
Lianne has reawakened John after several centuries of imprisonment in the depths of Hell. Now with powerful allies on his side ranging from the dead, through the demons and up to the ancient Titans themselves... can John finally purge the universes of the living... or will Chloe and Damien be able to stop him in time? "The voices are back once again. The whispering hypnotic voices: "Kill... destroy... purge..." I find myself longing to destroy, lusting for the sight of flames rampaging through the wilderness." "I can hear the sounds of metal crunching and buckling. I hear metal shatter and pierce into human flesh. I hear blood spattering and dropping. I smell and feel fresh blood drenching me and the car." The allegiances have been set, the tables have been laid. Can the Draconians survive the wrath of John, Lianne and Iciest... or is this truly the final moments for life?
Popular Music, Technology, and the Changing Media Ecosystem
This book explores the relationships between popular music, technology, and the changing media ecosystem. More precisely, it looks at infrastructures and practices of music making and consuming primarily in the post-Napster era of digitization – with some chapters looking back on the technological precursors to digital culture – marked by the emergence of digital tools and platforms such as YouTube or Spotify. The first section provides a critical overview of theories addressing popular music and digital technology, while the second section offers an analysis of the relationship between musical cultures, taste, constructions of authenticity, and technology. The third section offers case studies on the materialities of music consumption from outside the western core of popular music production. The final section reflects on music scenes and the uses and discourses of social media.
From The Flames - Book 2: Instruments of Death
John's gateway between the universes may have been prevented... but there is more than one way to conjure one... and the secret may be as simple as death... and that death could pave Iciest's way into our universe... ""As my rage flourished, over time the town slowly began to wither away and dilapidate itself - far worse than anthropogenically possible. The roads twisted and cracked. Houses crumbled and collapsed into colossal heaps of rubble. Every plant and animal died and my demons grew in both size, and power enabling them to easily kill any of the cultists naive enough to leave their sanctuary, in an attempt to destroy me."" The war raging between the universes of the living and dead are slowly reaching a crushing crescendo, as the Titans, the Draconians, and the dead all stand against each other as the final moments for life begin to draw to a close...

Rethinking Music through Science and Technology Studies
This volume seeks to offer a new approach to the study of music through the lens of recent works in Science and Technology Studies (STS). Applied to the study of music, this approach enables us to reconcile the human, social, factual, and technological aspects of the musical world, and opens the prospect of new areas of inquiry in musicology and sound studies. Drawing together contributions from a wide range of scholars, the book’s four sections focus on key areas of music study that are impacted by STS: organology, sound studies, music history, and epistemology.
Sustainable Industrialization
This report, first published in 1996, argues that radical changes in industrial organization and its relationship to society tend to arise in rapidly industrializing countries, and that new principles of sustainable production are more likely to bear fruit in developing than in developed countries. The rising tide of investment by multinational firms – who bring managerial, organizational and technological expertise – is a major resource for achieving this. Developing countries could steer such investment towards environmental goals through coherent and comprehensive policies for sustainable development.
The Present and Future of Music Law
The music business is a multifaceted, transnational industry that operates within complex and rapidly changing political, economic, cultural and technological contexts. The mode and manner of how music is created, obtained, consumed and exploited is evolving rapidly. It is based on relationships that can be both complimentary and at times confrontational, and around roles that interact, overlap and sometimes merge, reflecting the competing and coinciding interests of creative artists and music industry professionals. It falls to music law and legal practice to provide the underpinning framework to enable these complex relationships to flourish, to provide a means to resolve disputes, and to facilitate commerce in a challenging and dynamic business environment. The Present and Future of Music Law presents thirteen case studies written by experts in their fields, examining a range of key topics at the points where music law and the post-digital music industry intersect, offering a timely exploration of the current landscape and insights into the future shape of the interface between music business and music law.
Liveness
Liveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture addresses what may be the single most important question facing all kinds of performance today. What is the status of live performance in a culture dominated by mass media and digital technologies? Since its first appearance, Philip Auslander’s groundbreaking book has helped to reconfigure a new area of study. Looking at specific instances of live performance such as theatre, music, sport, and courtroom testimony, Liveness offers penetrating insights into media culture, suggesting that media technology has encroached on live events to the point where many are hardly live at all. In this new edition, the author thoroughly updates his provocative...
Parody in the Age of Remix
The art of mashup music, its roots in parody, and its social and legal implications. Parody needn’t recognize copyright—but does an algorithm recognize parody? The ever-increasing popularity of remix culture and mashup music, where parody is invariably at play, presents a conundrum for internet platforms, with their extensive automatic, algorithmic policing of content. Taking a wide-ranging look at mashup music—the creative and technical considerations that go into making it; the experience of play, humor, enlightenment, and beauty it affords; and the social and legal issues it presents—Parody in the Age of Remix offers a pointed critique of how society balances the act of regulating...
