Hardback. Condizione: Good. Wilfred?s pioneering and strangely prescient musical instrument predates television, video art and psychedelia Inventor, designer, artist and musician Thomas Wilfred (1889?1968) devoted his life to the creation of a new art form?"Lumia," or the art of light. He invented his own version of a color organ (a term he disliked) and dubbed it the Clavilux, from the Latin meaning "light played by key." After a successful international tour in the 1920s, Wilfred reinvented these large-scale performances as self-enclosed light shows for domestic entertainment. While they enjoyed a short commercial life, Wilfred?s aesthetically elegant and interactive Clavilux and Lumia home models soon found their way into storied collections. His work was included in the Museum of Modern Art?s 1952 exhibition 15 Americans, where it was seen by many artists who would work with light as their medium in the 1960s and ?70s. Clavilux and Lumia Home Models presents a stimulating collection of archival material culled from the Wilfred archive at Yale University and other sources, including Wilfred?s never-before-published sketches.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Ethereal and enigmatic glass slides preserve the resonance of Hughes' voice in rippling, organic compositions The acclaimed Welsh singer and philanthropist Margaret Watts Hughes (1842-1907) was one of many inventors of her day fascinated by the visual documentation of sound. Her "eidophone" comprised a tube attached to a chamber covered in rubber, or "diaphragm." Hughes covered a glass slide with grains of sand or coarse pigment, then saturated it with water or milk. By singing into the device, the vibrations of her voice would etch out patterns onto the disc: an artistic rendering of the scientific principle of standing-wave resonance. Her "Voice Figures," as she called them, ranged from primitive patterns to designs resembling flowers, seashells and other natural phenomena. While Hughes valued her discovery for both its scientific and spiritual implications, leaders of the Theosophical movement saw her work as a means of making visible the invisible world.Sound May Be Seen presents selections from Hughes' original 1891 publication of the "Voice Figures" and a rare surviving set of her glass slides, alongside contemporary reactions to her captivating and ultimately enigmatic work.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. From teleportation to spontaneous human combustion, poltergeists and UFOs-Fort's expansive and erratic research forms the basis of modern paranormal studiesCharles Fort (1874-1932) was a true iconoclast who embodied the idea of the "cult writer" in every sense of the term with his wildly entertaining prose and confounding research into the unknown. His early admirers formed the Fortean Society during his lifetime, in 1931, to elevate his work. Since that time, Fort's name has been synonymous with the strange, in large part due to the Fortean Times, published since 1973.While Fort has received sustained attention over the years, Research is the first book to delve into his methodology and source material for his investigations into paranormal phenomena. In addition to Fort's famously small notes that are extensively reproduced here for the first time, the book includes Fort's remarkable letters soliciting information on a wide variety of inexplicable phenomena that appeared in newspapers worldwide, as well as the responses he received. From frogs falling from the sky to sea monsters who inhabit our oceans, it is all here in his inimitable style, along with an appreciation by acclaimed experimental filmmaker and self-proclaimed Fortean Peggy Ahwesh.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Children's games, taxi drivers, music from an open window-Schwartz's recordings are an auditory love letter to a bygone New York CityA born and bred New Yorker, Tony Schwartz (1923-2008) was enamored with his city. Though a popular campaign designer for Madison Avenue clients such as Johnson and Johnson and American Airlines, and later creating the sound for hundreds of political advertisements (including the infamous Daisy spot for Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 campaign), his first and truest love was the sounds of the streets around him. Using a reel-to-reel tape recorder, the agoraphobic Schwartz ventured only a few blocks from his Hell's Kitchen apartment yet captured an encyclopedia of sounds. Many of these tapes were broadcast on his perennial WNYC radio show "Around New York" from 1945 to 1976. Though the term may seem an oxymoron, Tony Schwartz truly was an audio visionary.Sampling from Schwartz's voluminous catalog of recordings and coupling them with the poetic descriptions he gave to them, Snapshots in Sound assembles an A-Z of Schwartz's vivid practice. Filled with candid images of his documentation in action, cover art from his many records and his own writings, this charming volume also includes an appreciation of Schwartz's work from the legendary Village Voice columnist Nat Hentoff.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Cryptic, lyrical and philosophical words from a paragon of experimental New York theater, juxtaposed with the haunting maquettes he created for his playsAn avant-garde comrade of Jonas Mekas, George Maciunas, Jack Smith and others, Richard Foreman (born 1937) was at the forefront of downtown New York's experimental theater scene of the 1960s. He wrote and directed more than 80 verbally and visually singular productions with his Ontological-Hysteric Theater company in a career that spanned 45 years. Foreman's visually arresting plays made heavy use of static tableaux, frantic choreography, projected text and Foreman himself sitting in front of the stage operating the lights and sound. While Foreman has published many of his scripts, No Title is a text unlike anything preceding it. Handwritten on a series of note cards, these aphoristic declarations and philosophical asides hover between being a stream-of-consciousness dialogue and a message sent from another world. Foreman's wonderfully elliptical words are counterposed with photographs of the mystifying diorama-like maquettes that he created while staging a number of his plays.…
