Book Description
Writing, for Michael Snow, is as much a form of “art-making” as the broad range of visual art activities for which he is renowned, including the “Walking Woman” series and the film Wavelength. Conversely, many of the texts included in this anthology are as significant visually as they are at the level of content — they are meant to be looked at as well as read. Situated somewhere between a repository of contemporary thought by one of our leading Canadian artists and a history book as it brings to light some important moments in the cultural life of Canada since the 1950s, these texts tell their own story, marking the passage of time, ideas and attitudes. The works included here, ranging from essays and interviews and record album cover notes to filmscripts and speeches (which, in Snow’s hands, often fall into the category of performance art), are not only “built for browsing,” they offer insights into both the professional and the private Snow. Together, they expand the context of Snow’s work and show the evolution of a great Canadian artist, beginning with his early attempts at defining art, to his emergence and recognition on the international art scene. This book is one of four books that are part of the Michael Snow Project. Initiated by the Art Gallery of Ontario and The Power Plant Gallery, the project also includes four exhibitions of his visual art and music.

Book Description
Movie soundtrack music is big business. In both film studios and at major record labels, entire divisions focus exclusively on marketing movie music. Film composers like John Williams have become internationally famous figures, and concerts of their music are regular occurrences. But while interest in movie music has greatly increased, both academically and among the public, focus on individual aspects of the music have been overlooked. Yet what movie-goer can forget the opening scene to Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver? Behind the taxicab emerging from a cloud of vapour and the eyes of Robert De Niro, a haunting, yearning alto saxophone melody is heard, and it’s just one example of the power of the saxophone, a presence throughout the history of movie music, from the 1930s to the present day, highlighting scenes of drama, romance, and comedy, and making a vital contribution to the music which can be urgent, immediate, sweet, seductive, intimate, and erotic. Reed Rapture is the first study to describe the background, the history, and the numerous important appearances of the saxophone on movie soundtracks, drawing on both jazz and classical influences, and, as such, makes a vital contribution to film music studies.

Book Description
Ecologies of Creative Music Practice: Mattering Music explores music as a dynamic practice embedded in contemporary ecological contexts, one that both responds to, and creates change within, the ecologies in which it is created and consumed. This highly interdisciplinary analysis includes theoretical and practical considerations – from blockchain technology and digital platform commerce to artificial intelligence and the future of work, to sustainability and political ecology – as well as contemporary philosophical paradigms, guiding its investigation through three main lenses: How can music work as a conceptual tool to interrogate and respond to our changing global environment? How have transformations in our digital environment affected how we produce, distribute and consume music? How does music relate to matters of political ecology and environmental change? Within this framework, music is positioned as a starting point from which to examine a range of contexts and environments, offering new perspectives on contemporary technological and ecological discourse. Ecologies of Creative Music Practice: Mattering Music is a valuable text for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and practitioners concerned with producing, performing, sharing and listening to music.
