"Although it will be of primary interest to those who are engaged in composition themselves, [this] book is also recommended for readers who may wish to gain further insight into just what makes jazz composition so different from traditional approaches."—Malcolm Bessom, The Music Magazine
Ride Lonesome, the fifth film in the "Ranown cycle," is both the best and most representative of the whole series, which has been called "the most remarkable convergence of artistic achievement in the history of low-budget moviemaking." Director Bud Boetticher captures the alienation and loneliness of an America faced with the Cold War and the daily threat of nuclear annihilation. Shot in seventeen days for under a half-million dollars, Ride Lonesome is a masterpiece of cinematic minimalism. Veteran screenwriter Kirk Ellis brilliantly unpacks the themes, narrative, visual language, and editing in this seminal film. In Ride Lonesome Ellis not only shows how this one film embodies a turning point for the Western, but he also explores the unique vision and contributions of director Boetticher and his writing partner Burt Kennedy.Mostra libro
Whether trying to become voiceover artist, train a puppy, address a crowd, or become a more successful business leader, having a deeper voice can offer a number of advantages.

This audio program will offer 12 tips for developing a voice filled with warmth and expression, that has an even resonance and is easy on the ears, one that carries well so that people can understand and remember exactly what you’re saying, one that is flexible and natural, and has a wide-ranging deep pitch.Mostra libro
