Book Description
"Life. Remixed." is a groundbreaking interactive novel that transports readers to the heart of the underground rave scene in the 1990s. This immersive experience follows Aaron, a young DJ with big dreams and bigger challenges, as he navigates the electrifying world of electronic music. What sets this book apart is its revolutionary interactive format. Throughout the story, readers can use their mobile devices to unlock hidden content, bringing the narrative to life in ways never before possible. Discover playlists that pulse with the energy of '90s rave culture, each carefully curated to match the mood and moment of Aaron's journey. Uncover clues that deepen the mystery surrounding the infamous "Sounds of Hell," a supernatural force that threatens to upend everything Aaron knows about music and reality itself. As Aaron rises through the ranks of the DJ scene, readers will meet a cast of vivid characters who shape his path. There's Eddie, Aaron's longtime friend whose struggles with addiction mirror the darker side of rave culture. Rachel, Aaron's love interest, challenges him to look beyond the glitz and fame. And Havok, a rival DJ whose ambition and ruthlessness push Aaron to his limits. The story delves deep into the transformative power of music, exploring how it can unite and divide, heal and harm. Through Aaron's eyes, readers will experience the euphoria of a perfectly mixed set, the camaraderie of the underground scene, and the dangers that lurk in the shadows of fame. But "Life. Remixed." is more than just a tale of musical ambition. As Aaron becomes entangled with the mysterious "Sounds of Hell," the narrative takes on supernatural dimensions. This enigmatic audio recording blurs the lines between reality and the otherworldly, raising questions about the true nature of music and its impact on the human spirit. The interactive elements aren't just gimmicks – they're integral to the storytelling experience. Each playlist, each hidden clue, each piece of bonus content adds layers of depth to the narrative, allowing readers to engage with the story on multiple levels. You're not just reading about the '90s rave scene; you're hearing it, feeling it, living it. As the story builds to its climactic rave event, all elements converge – Aaron's relationships, his rivalries, his inner demons, and the supernatural forces at play. This pulse-pounding finale brings together music, technology, and storytelling in a way that will leave readers breathless. "Life. Remixed." is ultimately a story of redemption, charting Aaron's fall from grace and his struggle to find his way back to himself. It's about the power of music to destroy and to heal, to lose yourself and to find yourself again. Prepare for a reading experience like no other. With every page turn, you might unlock a new secret. With every chapter, you'll have a new soundtrack. "Life. Remixed." invites you to do more than just read – it asks you to listen, to explore, and to immerse yourself fully in Aaron's world.

Book Description
"As I stood at the faucet, I was caught by my own reflection in the mirror. At least I thought it was mine. I didn't recognize my own face. My cheeks were gaunt and pale; my eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles under each one. Looking down, I realized that my belt went in two extra notches and my previously form-fitting shirt was draping over my wilting frame. "'Way to go, Aaron, ' I thought to myself. 'This time it's Eddie. Next time it'll be you.'" Based on the true story of "America's Tallest DJ," AARON TRAYLOR, this book takes the reader inside the world of a legendary disc jockey. At 18, he reached the top of the charts as one of the most listened to DJs in a large American city. From corporate radio to dingy nightclubs and sweaty underground raves, a decade in the limelight brought little of the joy and glamour he expected, and much that he would later regret...failed relationships, the death of a friend, and empty dreams... This is the story of a seeker of enlightenment through music alone... Then one desperate day, a vision and a voice led him to his true calling.

Remix
Author: Lawrence Lessig
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9781594201721
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The reigning authority on intellectual property in the Internet age, Lawrence Lessig spotlights the newest and possibly the most harmful culture war - a war waged against those who create and consume art. America's copyright laws have ceased to perform their original, beneficial role: protecting artists' creations while allowing them to build on previous creative works. In fact, our system now criminalizes those very actions. Remix is an urgent, eloquent plea to end a war that harms every intrepid, creative user of new technologies. It also offers an inspiring vision of the postwar world where enormous opportunities await those who view art as a resource to be shared openly rather than a commodity to be hoarded.

Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Afrosonic Life explores the role sonic innovations in the African diaspora play in articulating methodologies for living the afterlife of slavery. Developing and extending debates on Afrosonic cultures, the book attends to the ways in which the acts of technological subversion, experimentation and production complement and interrupt the intellectual project of modernity. Music making processes such as dub, turntablism, hip-hop dj techniques and the remix, innovate methods of expressing subjecthoods beyond the dominant language of Western “Man” and the market. These sonic innovations utilize sound as a methodology to institute a rehumanizing subjectivity in which sound dislodges the hierarchical ordering of racial schemas. Afrosonic Life is invested in excavating and elaborating the nuanced and novel ways of music making and sound creation found in the African diaspora.

So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix

Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
ISBN: 1250761220
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Four young Black sisters come of age during the American Civil War in So Many Beginnings, a warm and powerful YA remix of the classic novel Little Women, by national bestselling author Bethany C. Morrow. North Carolina, 1863. As the American Civil War rages on, the Freedpeople's Colony of Roanoke Island is blossoming, a haven for the recently emancipated. Black people have begun building a community of their own, a refuge from the shadow of the "old life." It is where the March family has finally been able to safely put down roots with four young daughters: Meg, a teacher who longs to find love and start a family of her own. Jo, a writer whose words are too powerful to be contained. Beth, a talented seamstress searching for a higher purpose. Amy, a dancer eager to explore life outside her family's home. As the four March sisters come into their own as independent young women, they will face first love, health struggles, heartbreak, and new horizons. But they will face it all together. Praise for So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix "Morrow’s ability to take the lingering stain of slavery on American history and use it as a catalyst for unbreakable love and resilience is flawless. That she has remixed a canonical text to do so only further illuminates the need to critically question who holds the pen in telling our nation’s story." —Booklist, starred review "Bethany C. Morrow's prose is a sharpened blade in a practiced hand, cutting to the core of our nation's history. ... A devastatingly precise reimagining and a joyful celebration of sisterhood. A narrative about four young women who unreservedly deserve the world, and a balm for wounds to Black lives and liberty." —Tracy Deonn, New York Times-bestselling author of Legendborn "A tender and beautiful retelling that will make you fall in love with the foursome all over again." —Tiffany D. Jackson, New York Times-bestselling author of White Smoke and Grown

Book Description
Have we really heard the message of Colossians? Is this New Testament book just another religious text whose pretext is an ideological grab for dominating power? Reading Colossians in context, ancient and contemporary, can perhaps give us new ears to hear. In this innovative and refreshing book Brian J. Walsh and Sylvia C. Keesmaat explain our own sociocultural context to then help us get into the world of the New Testament and get a sense of the power of the gospel as it addressed those who lived in Colossae two thousand years ago. Their reading presents us with a radical challenge from the apostle Paul for today. Drawing together biblical scholarship with a passion for authentic lives that embody the gospel, this groundbreaking interpretation of Colossians provides us with tools to subvert the empire of our own context in a way that acknowledges the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
