Songs of the Arabian Red Sea
Song and music have always played an important part in the cultural identity of the mariners and coastal peoples of the Red Sea. While previous studies on the maritime culture of this region have focused on the sailing vessel, the dhow, and seafaring communities, this is the first book to examine its rich musical repertoire. Using fieldwork conducted along the Hijaz and Upper Tihama coasts, The Songs of the Arabian Red Sea documents examples of different musical forms and styles as well as the stories of older mariners who describe the contexts in which songs were sung, from sea shanties during the working day to soulful ballads about home and loved ones at night. Presenting the songs and their lyrics in the context of the geography, culture, oral history and musicology of the region, the book reveals the complex and connected network that influenced their development and the vital place of song and music for diverse communities of the region.
Sound Practices in the Global South
This book develops a comprehensive understanding of the unique sound worlds of key regions in the Global South, through an auto-ethnographic method of self-reflective conversations with prominent sound practitioners from South Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

The book builds a ground-up approach to nurturing knowledge about...
The Music
In the last hundred years – between the invention of the microphone and the computer – music has undergone a profound revolution. No longer confined to specifically designed instruments, we can now make music out of anything. Why use a guitar when you can use a lawnmower? Why use a lawnmower when you can use an explosion in Libya? The Music evokes a shifting sonic landscape in precise detail – Chinese concrete slowly hardening, overlaid by a splintering cassette tape in the stereo of a car mid-crash. The noise of 73,984 insects hitting number plates followed by that of a drill striking oil deep beneath the earth’s surface. Or just the silence of two unfamiliar people as they look up at the night sky. As well as being a description of an imagined album this novel is a manifesto for sound, challenging how we hear the world itself, while listening to stories about humanity and our place in that world.
Der Klang der Gegenwart
Freiheit in der Musik: musikalische Revolutionen und neue Klangwelten Die Neue Musik ist nicht in einem Augenblick entstanden: Spätestens ab 1950 haben Komponisten sich mehrfach eine neue Tonkunst vorgestellt, in Manifesten, in ihren Lebenswegen und ihren Kompositionen realisiert und damit eine ganz eigene, extrem farbige Bewegung angestoßen. Also eine westliche Erfindung nur für Spezialisten? Weit gefehlt! Björn Gottstein beleuchtet das Phänomen von seinen Anfängen bis heute in all seinen Facetten. Die Geschichte der Neuen Musik wird dabei sondiert (immer wieder kommen einzelne Komponisten zu Wort, wird ihr spezifisches Werk vorgestellt), kuratiert (das Buch versucht nichts weniger al...
