Description

Visual Music Masters - SoftcoverWhat are the connections between sounds and abstract images? What were the first audiovisual instruments? How did music influence Kandinskys work? What are the most significant audiovisual installations? What relationship is there between VJs and live cinema? And finally, what is synesthesia? Visual Music Masters thoroughly explores past and present research to answer these and many other questions about the relationship between music and abstract art

  • What are the connections between sounds and abstract images? What were the first audiovisual instruments? How did music influence Kandinsky’s work? What are the most significant audiovisual installations? What relationship is there between VJs and live cinema? And finally, what is synesthesia? 
  • Visual Music Masters thoroughly explores past and present research to answer these and many other questions about the relationship between music and abstract art
  • Covering figures that range from Toulouse-Lautrec to Nam June Paik, from Händel to Xenakis, and from Fischinger to Ikeda, this book illustrates the stages by which the artistic community has embraced the latest technologies and a multi-sensory universe, creating in the process an independent form of expression: visual music

Adriano Abbado has been working with electronic music since 1975 and with digital art since 1981, and earned a MS from MIT’s Media Laboratory in 1988. He taught Computer Graphics at Milan’s Istituto Europeo di Design, Electronic Music at Turin’s Conservatory, and Audiovisual Art at UC Santa Barbara. His interests span from traditional Asian music to astrophotography to online trading. His works have been shown in Barcelona, Chicago, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Milan, New York, Paris, Rome, Seoul, Shanghai, Venice and Washington DC.

Read This In One Sitting…..
Format: Hardcover
Not pregnant yet, but this book was the perfect balance of information and real-life story. It was so relatable and reassuring—I suddenly didn’t feel crazy for all the hours of baby research I’ve been doing. I never felt pressured, just encouraged and entertained while learning so much. Such a refreshing read, you won’t regret getting this one!

Great Buy for First-Time-Mama's
Format: Hardcover
This is my first pregnancy, and I'm very happy I purchased this book. Meghan Trainor will make you laugh and she gets very real with you—it was almost as if I was hanging out with an old friend when I sat down to read. It's a mix of a memoir, a diary, and advice from experts including her personal trainer and her OB/GYN—including exercises by trimester and recipes. She also recommends some products without being sales-y. If you're a first-time-mom (or even if you're not), this is a great buy that's not like other pregnancy books (those can sometimes be information overload in my opinion). This would also be a great gift for a newly pregnant friend. You don't have to be a Meghan Trainor fan to enjoy this book. Book Highlights/Helpful Thoughts - One of my favorite phrases was "influencers are great, but they make pregnancy and labor an aesthetic, and girl, pregnancy is not an aesthetic, it's rough!" - Meghan wanted to give birth vaginally, but due to complications, she had to have a schedule C-Section and she talks about that experience extensively is a way that was helpful. I'm personally doing everything I can to have a natural vaginal birth, but life sometimes has other plans. It was helpful reading her take instead of reading the Reddit horror stories. I now know what to expect in a non-traumatizing way if I were to need a C-section. - Meghan was pregnant during the height of the Covid Pandemic in 2020—so her experiences are based on that. I say this, because she talks a lot about how her husband could not join in at any of her ultrasound appointments and her labor team was limited due to the restrictions. Thankfully appointments are no longer like that.
