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 LynchVer libro
From prehistoric Mexico to modern Istanbul, Mary Beard looks beyond the familiar canon of Western imagery to explore the history of art, religion, and humanity. Conceived as an accompaniment to “How Do We Look” and “The Eye of Faith,” the famed Civilisations shows on PBS, renowned classicist Mary Beard has created this elegant volume on how we have looked at art. Focusing in Part I on the Olmec heads of early Mesoamerica, the colossal statues of the pharaoh Amenhotep III, and the nudes of classical Greece, Beard explores the power, hierarchy, and gender politics of the art of the ancient world, and explains how it came to define the so-called civilized world. In Part II, Beard chronicles some of the most breathtaking religious imagery ever made—whether at Angkor Wat, Ravenna, Venice, or in the art of Jewish and Islamic calligraphers—to show how all religions, ancient and modern, have faced irreconcilable problems in trying to picture the divine. With this classic volume, Beard redefines the Western- and male-centric legacies of Ernst Gombrich and Kenneth Clark. "Readers will be grateful to have wise, witty Beard as guide and companion … Beard is charming and insightful piece by piece."—San Francisco ChronicleVer libro

Anyone who looks at Rembrandt van Rijn sees more than Baroque painting: light rising out of darkness, faces charged with inner life, pictures that still feel like a conversation. What is it about him that makes works in the Rembrandt House Museum and in the world's great collections hold viewers spellbound - from school lessons to university seminars, in Amsterdam and far beyond? This non-fiction book invites you on a fact-rich cultural journey through the Dutch Golden Age. In clear, vivid prose it turns biography and key works into a 'school of seeing'. You learn how Rembrandt steers light and composition, how he builds psychological presence, and how to recognise self-portrait, history painting, portraiture and etching as distinct ways of thinking with images. Even if 'Die Nachtwache' is familiar, its artistic logic becomes newly intelligible. Born in Leiden on 15 July 1606, Rembrandt grew up in a respectable middle-class household that valued education and ambition. After Latin school he trained with Jacob Isaacsz. van Swanenburgh and then with the Amsterdam history painter Pieter Lastman. Back in Leiden he shared a studio with Jan Lievens and soon taught his first pupil, Gerrit Dou. Moving to Amsterdam in 1632, he achieved rapid fame, commissions and prosperity. His marriage to Saskia van Uylenburgh coincided with masterpieces such as 'Die Anatomie des Dr. Nicolaes Tulp', 'Belshazzars Gastmahl' and the world-famous 'Die Nachtwache'. Later, Saskia's death, his partnership with Hendrickje Stoffels and mounting debts led to bankruptcy in the 1650s. Out of crisis came works of fierce intensity: 'Christus heilend die Kranken' (the 'Hundertguldenblatt'), 'Die drei Kreuze', 'Ecce Homo' and 'Aristoteles mit der Büste des Homer'. Here, shadows do not conceal; they reveal. In his final years he painted with a new warmth and dignity - 'Die Staalmeesters' and 'Die Judenbraut' - while modern research continues to revise attributions as new works surface and others return to his pupils. Written by Bert Alexander Petzold, the book is ideal for GCSE and A-level revision as well as university study. It uses Rembrandt's life and greatest works as a practical guide to looking, so you can not only recognise his paintings but truly understand them. Secure your copy and let Rembrandt 's pictures become a lasting guide to how images work.Ver libro
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Hyperplan is a bold architectural audiobook about designing cities as living organisms rather than fixed masterplans. Through the charged landscape of Mitzpe Ramon and the edge of the desert crater, Moshe Katz develops a new way of thinking about urban life: one that responds to vastness, climate, memory, movement, uncertainty, and human imagination. The desert becomes a teacher. The crater becomes a spatial force. The city becomes something alive, adaptive, and capable of holding both daily life and infinity. This audiobook is for architects, planners, designers, students, and visionaries who want to move beyond static urban planning into a more responsive and poetic model of city-making. Hyperplan asks what happens when a town, a landscape, and a horizon are read together, and when architecture begins to design not only buildings but also relationships among people, place, and the larger world.Ver libro
