Miettes (Book)
In reading this text, we rediscover the subtle pleasure we feel when listening to Michel Doneda's solo concerts. Beneath an apparent disorder in which intuition alone seems to guide the unfolding of a pointillist discourse, a highly structured thought process emerges.Never relinquishing primacy to the sensitive approach, Michel Doneda delivers a reflection on improvisation, tested by decades of uncompromising personal practice. Like his music, Doneda's writing gives pride of place to the quality…
Mobilisation Générale: Protest and Spirit Jazz from France 1970-1976
** 2021 Stock ** 1968. France, Incorporated. The entire building was being consumed by flames and was slowly collapsing. Nothing would survive. Out of the rubble of the old world jumped the children of Marx and Coca-Cola, ripping the white and blue stripes off the French flag. Yet, the socialist revolution was more mythic than real and music did nothing to mitigate people’s behavior. It was time for innovation.
While singles from the Stones, Who, Kinks and MC5 provided an incendiary soundtrack f…
The Blue Horizon
*200 copies limited edition* Third work for Richard B. Lewis, who, with "The Blue Horizon", takes us on a journey through the whirlpools of mental disorder that blur the unreachable blue horizon like a thick fog.

You can't touch it, but it seems to be there waiting to welcome you. With "The Blue Horizon", Richard B. Lew…

Homo Audiens (Book)

At once an exploration and critique of the aesthetics of absolute music from German Romanticism to the present day as well as an argument for diversity in both interpr…
