    This book is for beginners, hobbyists and semi-professionals wanting to enhance and improve their knowledge of recording sound. Focusing on using microphones to capture a few instruments, both the theory and the practical considerations are explained in a concise and digestible manner.
    Many artists can craft standout productions by working solely 'in the box' with their DAW of choice, or with hardware such as synths and processing tools that do not require a microphone. However, musicians and artists may want to start working towards capturing a variety of sounds, instruments and environments, as this can enhance the listening soundstage and feel of a production. This book succinctly presents aspects of the recording process. It explores different ways to get started on your journey as a recording engineer or artist, be it hiring a studio, setting up a recording space or recording on location. 'This book is an essential read for any budding producer, engineer or artist who is serious about a life in music.' – Brendan Lynch

    May We Forever Stand - A History...

    The twin acts of singing and fighting for freedom have been inseparable in African American history. May We Forever Stand tells an essential part of that story. With lyrics penned by James Weldon Johnson and music composed by his brother Rosamond, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was embraced almost immediately as an anthem that captured the story and the aspirations of black Americans. Since the song’s creation, it has been adopted by the NAACP and performed by countless artists in times of both crisis and celebration, cementing its place in African American life up through the present day. 
     
    In this rich, poignant, and readable work, Imani Perry tells the story of the Black National Anthem as it traveled from South to North, from civil rights to black power, and from countless family reunions to Carnegie Hall and the Oval Office. Drawing on a wide array of sources, Perry uses “Lift Every Voice and Sing” as a window on the powerful ways African Americans have used music and culture to organize, mourn, challenge, and celebrate for more than a century.

    Ghana Empire - The Land of Gold...

    The Ghana Empire, also known as Wagadou, emerged as one of the earliest and most influential states in West Africa. Situated in the Sahel region, between the Senegal and Niger rivers, it thrived in an environment that was both challenging and advantageous for settlement and expansion. The Soninke people, who founded the empire, played a crucial role in establishing a political and economic system that allowed Ghana to dominate the region for centuries. 
    The origins of the Ghana Empire can be traced to the migrations and settlements of the Soninke, a Mande-speaking group, who gradually organized themselves into small communities. These communities initially relied on agriculture, herding, and local trade but soon recognized the value of the trans-Saharan trade routes that passed through their territory. The strategic location of Ghana, near valuable gold deposits and trade routes, allowed it to grow into a powerful state. The Soninke clans, under the leadership of a ruling dynasty, established centralized control, which set the foundation for the empire’s expansion. 
    The political structure of early Ghana was based on a hierarchical system, with the king, known as the Ghana, at the top. The title "Ghana" was both a royal designation and a symbol of authority. The king served as the supreme leader, making key decisions related to governance, trade, and military strategy. His power was reinforced by a council of elders and advisors, often drawn from the nobility and influential families. This system enabled stability and continuity, which contributed to the long-term success of the empire.
