Scott Joplin: The Life and Legacy of the King of Ragtime , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
“What is scurrilously called ragtime is an invention that is here to stay. That is now conceded by all classes of musicians.” (Scott Joplin) Despite a general dearth of African American names rising to musical prominence during the years of Reconstruction, black talent existed in good measure for both popular and classical genres. And among the most notable musicians celebrated in the present day is composer Scott Joplin, who in his day earned the moniker “King of Ragtime”.Joplin’s use of ragtime as a piano genre was as natural to African American dances as the waltz was to Europeans. The new African-based musical language grew to such popularity that piano rags were programmed on formal classical programs. Originally employed as a verb, as in to “rag” a rhythm, the genre was first referred to as the “jig-piano” style. Ragtime features off-beat rhythms, a heavily accented first beat with the left hand making fast leaps to include the harmony. Pieces of the genre are as visually distinctive as they are in sound. Popular with honky-tonk pianists working along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, ragtime became the “predominant style of American popular music” by the end of the 19th century. Dance steps like the cakewalk, inspired by minstrel shows featuring modes of black banjo playing, were unlikely to be incorporated into white dance for many years to come, but white musicians incorporated the sound into their own daily repertoires as a pleasing style of melody and rhythm. The days of minstrel performances, in which white performers costumed themselves in black face without societal backlash, were eventually replaced by black performers such as Joplin and others like him. Once free from such mockery, black artists were free to produce musical offerings from the authentic culture. The term “rag”, according to Joplin’s use of the term, represented a musical evolution - an abrupt, edgy approach to the musical phrase, suggesting a “ ungekürzt. Language: English.

Need for Magic: A Social Psychology Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 808min
Need for Magic is an unabridged telling of the thought provoking and dangerous novel by Joseph Swope. Chris Dooly and Justine Moral combine their voice talents to offer a fantasy world where listeners can hear the gruff rumble of dwarves, the ancient wisdom of elves, and even the accented spell work of wizards.The arch-villain is not a dragon, wizard or overlord. The evil one is a charismatic woman who knows what people need. By masterfully playing to everyone's need for approval and their need to feel important, she inspires fanatic devotion and gains the throne of a large nation. Even those with great magical power or deadly skill with a sword have needs. As a result, they too are played like puppets by her deft hand. Listeners should be wary that they will hear an echo of their own needs and maybe even a bit of magic they can bring into their own world. Need for Magic is also an exploration of social psychology. Indeed, the magic of Need for Magic is based on documented psychological studies gone awry. Conformity, persuasion and obedience are powerful forces that few can resist. Cults, the Stanford Prison Experiment, Stanley Milgram's work, and the Stockholm Syndrome are examples of power more dangerous than any magic spell or dragon's fire. Magic and Social Psychology, like all forms of power, can be used for good or ill. History is filled with leaders, dictators, and heroes who seem to have had a magical hold over others. There are few things more powerful than a group sacrificing for a common goal. The magic of Need for Magic is alive and well today. It can be practiced by anyone who listens to and watches what needs people seek to fill. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Dooly, Justine Moral.

Sure enough, he was right. When she sent the text to JT she somehow also sent to the contact listed directly above which was JP. She wondered if Jeanne would call, wondered if Jack had left an important assignment, and wondered more as well but put the phone down and shrugged it all off. All that mattered was that he was here with her now and he was naked and in her shower. It seemed to take an eternity to get out of her clothes, and she was frustrated and furious by the time she stepped into the shower. She got right to it. She knelt before him she took the hardness of his cock into her mouth, fully and tenderly kissing and sucking him as she toyed with his balls and ran her hands over him. She was acutely aware of their surroundings. It was a cavernous open shower made of marble and accented with terrazzo tile and elegant brass fixtures. The bathroom suite was dimly lit with just the flicker of candlelight illuminating the space. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Saucedo.

Force of Nature: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 555min
Narrator Stephen Shanahan...makes it sizzle to the very end. Both story and narrator are not to be missed. (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner) From Jane Harper, New York Times best-selling author of The Dry, comes a riveting new audiobook featuring Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk. Five women go on a hike. Only four return. Force of Nature begs the question: How well do you really know the people you work with? When five colleagues are forced to go on a corporate retreat in the wilderness, they reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking down the muddy path. But one of the women doesn't come out of the woods. And each of her companions tells a slightly different story about what happened. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing hiker. In an investigation that takes him deep into isolated forest, Falk discovers secrets lurking in the mountains and a tangled web of personal and professional friendship, suspicion, and betrayal among the hikers. But did that lead to murder? Praise for Force of Nature:"All the novel's characters have been drawn with exceptional complexity, and none more so than Aaron Falk.... So much more than a conventional detective, the reflective and compassionate Falk provides the book's moral compass." (New York Times Book Review)"Harper yet again delivers a very satisfying mystery from beginning to end, perfect to curl up with.... Stephen Shanahan does an excellent narration with his calm, deep, Australian accented voice." (BookRiot)“Force of Nature bristles with wit; it crackles with suspense; it radiates atmosphere. An astonishing book from an astonishing writer.” (A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window)"Set against the fascinating backdrop of a wild, rural location in south Australia, ungekürzt.

Love’s Labours Lost , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 149min
Sir Derek Jacobi and cast perform another Shakespeare classic which has been released for the first time as a digital download. The play opens with the King of Navarre and three noble companions, Berowne, Dumaine, and Longaville, taking an oath to devote themselves to three years of study, promising not to give in to the company of women - Berowne somewhat more hesitantly than the others. Berowne reminds the king that the princess and her three ladies are coming to the kingdom and it would be suicidal for the King to agree to this law. The King denies what Berowne says, insisting that the ladies make their camp in the field outside of his court. The King and his men comically fall in love with the princess and her ladies. The main story is assisted by many other humorous sub-plots. A rather heavy-accented Spanish swordsman, Don Adriano de Armado, tries and fails to woo a country wench, Jaquenetta, helped by Moth, his page, and rivalled by Costard, a country idiot. We are also introduced to two scholars, Holofernes and Sir Nathaniel, and we see them converse with each other in schoolboy Latin. In the final act, the comic characters perform a play to entertain the nobles, an idea conceived by Holofernes, where they represent the Nine Worthies. The four Lords - as well as the Ladies' manservant Boyet - mock the play, and Armado and Costard almost come to blows. At the end of this 'play' within the play, there is a bitter twist in the story. News arrives that the Princess's father has died and she must leave to take the throne. The king and his nobles swear to remain faithful to their ladies, but the ladies, unconvinced that their love is that strong, claim that the men must wait a whole year and a day to prove what they say is true. This is an unusual ending for Shakespeare and Elizabethan comedy. A play mentioned by Francis Meres, Love's Labour's Won, is sometimes believed to be a sequel to this play. ungekürzt.

On The Echoing Green

Shoegazer - Gitarren, Ambient-Drones, Drummaschinen, Synthie-Schlieren, atmosphärisch, deep. On the Echoing Green is an elegant work of lush, shimmering sound, rendered with a singular touch by eternal electric romantic Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. In contrast to the haze and hermetic process of previous albums, Green was conceived as a deliberate experiment in clarity and collaboration: I was interested in trying to bring out more overt pop elements, to let them come to the front and be present. I also have more trust now in letting things happen trusting other people s musicianship, and being open to people s ideas. Eventually, things emerge. What emerged from this bond are eight rapturous and richly melodic slow dives of swirling guitar, bass, synthesizer, piano, and drum machines, dramatically accented in places by heavenly arcs of voice courtesy of Argentinian singer-songwriter Sobrenadar. Cantu-Ledesma encouraged chemistry and intuition in the studio by beginning the album without any demos for reference, he and his collaborators pursued patterns and hypnotic textures across long-form improvisations until gradually songs began to take shape. This is music of growth and grandeur, of ascent and exploration, played with purpose and passion by a craftsman in tune with the beauty of sound and the harmony of light. In his words: This album feels like spring things coming alive, blooming, emerging from winter. TRACKS: 1. In A Copse 2. A Song Of Summer 3. Echoing Green 4. The Faun 5. Tenderness 6. Vulgar Latin 7.
