More than simply the book of the award-winning DVD set, Art & Science of Sound Recording, the Book takes legendary engineer, producer, and artist Alan Parsons' approaches to sound recording to the next level. In book form, Parsons has the space to include more technical background information, more detailed diagrams, plus a complete set of course notes on each of the 24 topics, from The Brief History of Recording to the now-classic Dealing with Disasters. Written with the DVD's coproducer, musician, and author Julian Colbeck, ASSR, the Book offers readers a classic big picture view of modern recording technology in conjunction with an almost encyclopedic list of specific techniques, processes, and equipment. For all its heft and authority authored by a man trained at London's famed Abbey Road studios in the 1970s ASSR, the Book is also written in plain English and is packed with priceless anecdotes from Alan Parsons' own career working with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and countless others. Not just informative, but also highly entertaining and inspirational, ASSR, the Book is the perfect platform on which to build expertise in the art and science of sound recording. |

| don't answer me alan parsons project: The Alan Parsons Project Anthology Christophe Carrafang, 2016-12-15 Eye in the Sky, Don't answer me, Silence and I, Old and Wise... These magnificent songs, forever imprinted in our hearts, are by one of the musical formations the general public knows the least: The Alan Parsons Project. From 1976 to 1987, ten remarkable concept-albums saw the light of day, created by a collective of talented musicians and singers, under the leadership of the founding duo Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. Despite having sold 45 million copies, few people are able to name all the brilliant artists who took part in this adventure. The name Alan Parsons will of course sound familiar to Pink Floyd aficionados, as he was the brilliant young sound engineer who worked on the legendary Dark Side of the Moon. But what about Eric Woolfson? What do we know about this very private man, who sadly died in 2009, a genius with melodies who wrote the music and lyrics to all the Project's songs? To this day, there is almost no literature about The Alan Parsons Project. This book, full of anecdotes, tries to fill in this gap and examines the entirety of the group's discography, starting with the Project's birth in the mid-70s and the journeys of the fantastic musicians who created this right and varied music. |

| don't answer me alan parsons project: Shock and Awe Simon Reynolds, 2016-10-11 NPR Great Read of 2016 From the acclaimed author of Rip It Upand Start Again and Retromania—“the foremost popular music critic of this era (Times Literary Supplement)—comes the definitive cultural history of glam and glitter rock, celebrating its outlandish fashion and outrageous stars, including David Bowie and Alice Cooper, and tracking its vibrant legacy in contemporary pop. Spearheaded by David Bowie, Alice Cooper, T. Rex, and Roxy Music, glam rock reveled in artifice and spectacle. Reacting against the hairy, denim-clad rock bands of the late Sixties, glam was the first true teenage rampage of the new decade. In Shock and Awe, Simon Reynolds takes you on a wild cultural tour through the early Seventies, a period packed with glitzy costumes and alien make-up, thrilling music and larger-than-life personas. Shock and Awe offers a fresh, in-depth look at the glam and glitter phenomenon, placing it the wider Seventies context of social upheaval and political disillusion. It explores how artists like Lou Reed, New York Dolls, and Queen broke with the hippie generation, celebrating illusion and artifice over truth and authenticity. Probing the genre’s major themes—stardom, androgyny, image, decadence, fandom, apocalypse—Reynolds tracks glam’s legacy as it unfolded in subsequent decades, from Eighties art-pop icons like Kate Bush through to twenty-first century idols of outrage such as Lady Gaga. Shock and Awe shows how the original glam artists’ obsessions with fame, extreme fashion, and theatrical excess continue to reverberate through contemporary pop culture. |
| don't answer me alan parsons project: Making and Selling Culture Richard Ohmann, 1996-11-25 An inside look at cultural industries, featuring interviews with key players from such companies as Twentiety-Century Fox, National Public Radio, and Coca-Cola. To what extent do moviemakers, television and radio producers, advertising executives, and marketers merely reflect trends, beliefs, and desires that already exist in our culture, and to what extent do they consciously shape our culture to their own ends? In-depth interviews with ten executives from the culture industry and five scholarly analyses examine that question, and address the issues of power and authority, meaning and identity, that arise when cultural producers define and react to audiences. In their own words, leaders from companies like Twentieth-Century Fox, National Public Radio, and Warner Bros. Television describe their perception of the sometimes paradoxical relationship between culture and what influences it. For example, while the former president of Coca-Cola North America claims the company has never tried to create a trend, he notes that we market in more countries than belong to the United Nations [a product that] has insinuated itself into the lives of the people to a point where it has become-you know, it's there. These reflections by key players provide an unprecedented view, as editor Richard Ohmann writes, into the ways cultural producers imagine or know markets and how such knowledge figures in their decisions about what events, experiences, and products to make. |
| don't answer me alan parsons project: Richmond Independent Press Dale M Brumfield, 2013-07-30 An acclaimed local author recounts the evolution of Richmond’s alternative newspapers, comics, and small presses beginning in the Civil Rights Era. As the political and social upheaval of the 1960s took hold across the United States, even the sleepy town of Richmond, Virginia, experienced a countercultural shift. New attitudes about the value of journalism spurred an underground movement in the press. “The Sunflower,” Richmond’s first underground newspaper, appeared in 1967 and set the stage for a host of alternative local media lasting into the 1990s and beyond. Publications such as the “Richmond Chronicle,” “Richmond Mercury,” and “Commonwealth Times,” as well as numerous minority-focused presses such as “Richmond Afro-American,” served the progressive-minded citizens of the River City. In Richmond Independent Press, the historian, activist and former “ThroTTle” editor Dale Brumfield reveals the untold story of this cultural revolution in the River City. |

| don't answer me alan parsons project: Hallelujah Crocodile Julie Stevens Manson, 2000-10-20 Hallelujah Crocodile Blue Boogie for Ellen is the story of a short life and a long one. It is a sad story but not always a gloomy one. In these pages, bereavement becomes a pilgrimage for the reader, as it was for the author. In 1989, the author's older daughter was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After a four-year remission the cancer returned. Ellen Manson died April 8, 1994. At the time, mainstream media was almost routinely covering stories of angel sightings and near-death experiences. Says the author, I wanted to be in touch with Ellen, but this seemed to presuppose very specific beliefs in a spiritual reality. How did one enter such a reality without adopting the tenets of traditional religions and philosophies? In contemplating her daughter's death, the author began to think about her own: What does it mean that we all physically die? What is death? She asks age-old questions and looks for answers in her own direct experience. After three years of trying on evenings and weekends to write this memoir-tribute-song, Manson realized that such a book required her best energies; she needed to make some life changes. The first was to leave her job. In August 1997 she went home to her computer and began to write full time. Hallelujah Crocodile Blue Boogie for Ellen is the result. Part biography, part philosophical exploration, it is a work of discovery. Says Manson, As I 'found' Ellen, I began to find myself. |

This is a lighthearted book with a serious purpose: to question the assumptions behind the dogma and sheer hype that the dominant school of neoliberal economists-the apostles of the freemarket-have spun since the Age of Reagan. Chang, the author of the international bestseller Bad Samaritans, is one of the world's most respected economists, a voice of sanity-and wit-in the tradition of John Kenneth Galbraith and Joseph Stiglitz. 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism equips readers with an understanding of how global capitalism works-and doesn't. In his final chapter, How to Rebuild the World, Chang offers a vision of how we can shape capitalism to humane ends, instead of becoming slaves of the market. |

| don't answer me alan parsons project: I Was. I Am. and Now I Will Be Ira Kantor, 2020-11-04 The life of Harry Chapin, charismatic musician and iconic humanitarian, was unexpectedly and tragically taken on July 16, 1981. He was 38 years old. A human dynamo whose sheer tenacity landed him on the Billboard charts, on Broadway, in the White House, and at the forefront of the world hunger movement, Chapin lived by the mantra of When in doubt, do something. In following this mentality, Chapin's 10-year solo career encompassed more than 2,000 concerts, nine studio albums, the creation of global nonprofit World Hunger Year (now WhyHunger), and the love and respect of fans, fellow musicians, and key political influencers alike. Hailed as a consummate musical storyteller, Chapin is best known for his character-driven tunes - Taxi, Sniper, W-O-L-D, A Better Place to Be, 30,000 Pounds of Bananas, and Cat's in the Cradle included. Yet despite having only four Top 40 hits to his name, Chapin's songs remain one of a kind - elevating him to the same artistic status as classic singer-songwriters of the era like James Taylor, Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, and John Denver. Now, nearly 40 years after his death, the following 10-chapter oral history seeks to tell Harry Chapin's story through the firsthand, on-the-record testimonies of the characters who knew him best - more than 60 family members, friends, business associates, and musical contemporaries. The result is a well-rounded retrospective of a man whose life, being, sense of accomplishment, and legacy remain unsurpassed to this day. |

A double-platinum, Grammy-winning bestseller, it lingered on the Billboard charts for more than a year and spawned three hit singles. Odd, then, that its creators saw it as an ambitious, extended work, the apotheosis of their anti-rock, anti-band, anti-glamour aesthetic. Populated by thirty-fi ve mostly jazz session players, Aja served up prewar song forms, mixed meters and extended solos to a generation whose idea of pop daring was Paul letting Linda sing lead once in a while. And, impossibly, it sold. Including an in-depth interview with Donald Fagen, this book paints a detailed picture of the making of a masterpiece. |

| don't answer me alan parsons project: Times Remembered Joe La Barbera, Charles Levin, 2021-10-15 In the late 1970s legendary pianist Bill Evans was at the peak of his career. He revolutionized the jazz trio (bass, piano, drums) by giving each part equal emphasis in what jazz historian Ted Gioia called a “telepathic level” of interplay. It was an ideal opportunity for a sideman, and after auditioning in 1978, Joe La Barbera was ecstatic when he was offered the drum chair, completing the trio with Evans and bassist Marc Johnson. In Times Remembered, La Barbera and co-author Charles Levin provide an intimate fly-on-the-wall peek into Evans’s life, critical recording sessions, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes of life on the road. Joe regales the trio’s magical connection, a group that quickly gelled to play music on the deepest and purest level imaginable. He also watches his dream gig disappear, a casualty of Evans’s historical drug abuse when the pianist dies in a New York hospital emergency room in 1980. But La Barbera tells this story with love and respect, free of judgment, showing Evans’s humanity and uncanny ability to transcend physical weakness and deliver first-rate performances at nearly every show. |
