Musicians today live in a golden age of tools and technology. A ninety-nine-cent smartphone app can give you the functionality of a million-dollar recording studio. A new song can be shared with the world as soon as it's finished. Tutorials for every sound design or music production technique can be found through a Google search. But despite all of this, making music is still hard. Why? Making Music was written both to answer this question and to offer ways to make it easier. It presents a systematic, concrete set of patterns that you can use when making music in order to move forward. There are already many ways-books, classes, video tutorials, software documentation, private teachers-to learn about music technology and music production. But almost all of them focus on the second half of the equation-technology or production- rather than the first half: music. Making Music is an attempt to help people who are comfortable with the basics of music production at a technical level but who still find music-making to be a difficult process (which I suspect is all of us!). This book will not teach you how to use a compressor, program a synthesizer, or make a great-sounding kick drum. Those aspects of music-making are already well covered. What it will teach you is how to make music using those tools, with a specific emphasis on solving musical problems, making progress, and (most importantly) finishing what you start.

When Living and Sustaining a Creative Life was published in 2013, it became an immediate sensation. Edited by Sharon Louden, the book brought together forty essays by working artists, each sharing their own story of how to sustain a creative practice that contributes to the ongoing dialogue in contemporary art. The book struck a nerve—how do artists really make it in the world today? Louden took the book on a sixty-two-stop book tour, selling thousands of copies, and building a movement along the way. Now, Louden returns with a sequel: forty more essays from artists who have successfully expanded their practice beyond the studio and become change agents in their communities. There is a misconception that artists are invisible and hidden, but the essays here demonstrate the truth—artists make a measurable and innovative economic impact in the non-profit sector, in education, and in corporate environments. The Artist as Culture Producer illustrates how today’s contemporary artists add to creative economies through out-of-the-box thinking while also generously contributing to the well-being of others. By turns humorous, heartbreaking, and instructive, the testimonies of these forty diverse working artists will inspire and encourage every reader—from the art student to the established artist. With a foreword by Hyperallergic cofounder and editor-in-chief Hrag Vartanian, The Artist as Culture Producer is set to make an indelible mark on the art world—redefining how we see and support contemporary artists. Louden’s worldwide book tour begins in March 2017. More information and tour dates can be found online at www.livesustain.org.

"Quinn Martin was the most innovative and most creative of his kind. He was a man in touch with the future, far more than the times. His characters were not stereotypical characters.

In the heyday of Andy Warhol's legendary hub of art, subculture, and insanity known as the Factory, one performer made his mark like no other: Jackie Curtis. A wildly creative, avant-garde performer, poet, playwright, and longtime friend and collaborator of Warhol's, Curtis was well known as a cross-dressing phenom whose personal life went even further and was even wilder than anything onstage and onscreen. This limited edition book contains an essay by Hilton Als and a collection of archival photographs of Jackie Curtis interspersed with photographs Als took of Justin Bond, the creator of Kiki and other intriguing personalities. The parallels between Curtis and Bond are obvious: Bond, like Curtis (who died in 1985), is a man of many characters. He performs sometimes in light drag, sometimes in heavy drag, and when he performs in heavy drag favors frizzy wigs and glitter eye makeup and a certain air of debauchery. Like Curtis, Bond is an intelligent and subversive writer and a thrilling performer. So it is not strange that Als paired them. What is unusual is that, having made the connection between two of his favorites, he would write-and self-publish-a book about them and, more, about their importance to him. It's a very intimate, personal project in every aspect: the essay, the photos, the look and feel of the thing itself-Als had only a handful of copies printed.
