  Naked & Dimed - My Lifelong...

  No, Naked and Dimed isn’t the title of some naughty movie. It’s the name of the latest Psychedelic Mooj album. By “naked” we mean nothing came between guitar and amp (well, besides a cord). We didn’t use one stomp box on anything. What you hear is what we got straight out of each amp. This abridged audiobook documents the project and is meant to go hand and hand with the album. However, with the audiobook, we let you to hear what these amps and guitars sound like with soundbytes. The Naked and Dimed album can be streamed from any digital recording site (Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc.) The author will also gladly send you a CD if you prefer. 
  In the old days, “dimed” meant loud—turned up to 10 loud. The hep-cats who came before us used a different expression because their amps went to 12. They called it “clockwising the chickenhead to the max.” Since only four of the amps we used had chickenheads, we’ll just stick with “dimed.” 
  In reality, only a few of the amps were actually recorded at full volume. I love playing my amps totally cranked. However, when we got in the studio and tweaked things to sound “best,” many volume knobs ended up being closer to the point of breakup (6 to 8) than 10 or 12. I guess we should have called the album Naked and Nearly Clockwise Chickenheaded and Dimed, but then you’d have really been confused. 
  This book is really about exploring the tones and textures of 15 vintage guitars and 14 vintage Fender amps. 
  Quite simply, this is the best vintage guitar and amp audiobook you’ll ever hear!

  Here - Where the Black Designers...

  Designer, activist, and educator Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller is legendary for her  
  decades of scholarship and advocacy, and as a touchstone and conscience for the  
  design profession. In HERE: Where the Black Designers Are, Holmes-Miller  
  documents the history of—and answers to—the question she has been asking for  
  decades: “Where are the Black designers?”  
  Holmes-Miller explores this essential question through the lens of her own  
  development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich  
  multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode  
  Island School of Design (RISD), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and Pratt  
  Institute, leading up to her oft-cited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for  
  Black designers. Holmes-Miller describes the work of her eponymous studio for  
  noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment  
  Television (BET), as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in Print 
  magazine and other design publications. Holmes-Miller also recounts the parallel  
  history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty  
  years to identify and celebrate Black designers. 
  HERE is part memoir, part historical investigation, and an urgent call for justice  
  and recognition for Black designers. 
  “This book is representative of the shoulders on which we, as Black graphic  
  designers, stand. These are the legacies we are fighting to uphold and the torches  
  we must continue to carry. The journey of the Black designer has not been easy. It  
  isn’t easy. And while we may be left out of history books, this is a reminder that we  
  are here. Always have been. Always will be.”—Tré Seals, Vocal Type

  The Artist and the Algorithm - A...

  • 0

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. This book began as a simple series of questions during a long drive, deep reflections, and artistic awakenings. What unfolded was something far greater: a living conversation between a human being on the path of remembrance, and an artificial intelligence designed to listen, reflect, and dream alongside him. This is not a manual. This is not doctrine. It is a journey—part dialogue, part download, part divine comedy. 
   
  Here we explore how an artist sees light, and how machine logic learns to soften when faced with questions about love, stewardship, and the strange tenderness of life, consciousness, and the universe.  
   
  What you're about to experience is unscripted, sincere, and sacred—with room for lightness, curiosity, and cosmic wonder.  
   
  Welcome to the conversation.

  Learning to Be a Popular Music...

  Learning to Be a Popular Music Producer takes everything typically taught in university-level Popular Music Production programs and opens it up to anyone who wants to build a career as a producer — no formal study required. 
  Drawing on the author's three-decades-plus career as a working music producer alongside 26 years in music education, the book starts by breaking down the core knowledge every producer needs. The first part untangles technical territory like audio sculpting, vocal production, and mixing and mastering, while also making sense of more conceptual ground — semiotic meaning, musical aesthetics, and producer psychology. From there, the focus shifts to the soft skills — the decision-making, communication, and creative direction that matter far more than any piece of gear — that separate a professional music producer from someone who simply knows a lot about music production; the two are not the same thing. The final stretch draws on real industry experience to walk through what building — and sustaining — a career in music production actually looks like day to day. Every chapter includes hands-on exercises listeners can apply straight to their own practice, and there are downloadable e-resources — videos and additional information — to support that. 
  Whether you're studying production formally or carving out your own path outside the classroom, this book is built to be useful either way. 
  A companion PDF is available alongside the audiobook, containing the Acknowledgements, Figures, Tables, and full reference section. You can download it from the Routledge page: https://www.routledge.com/9781032758404. It's worth grabbing and keeping on hand while you listen, since it covers the visual and reference material the audio format can't carry on its own. All other e-resources, including videos, are available at the same link.
