FROG PEAK THEORISTS
=====================
In celebration of Frog Peak's committment to American visionary
theorists,
we are offering a SPECIAL SALE on two influential texts by two of
the most important living
theorists, David Rosenboom and James Tenney:
* James Tenney, "Meta + Hodos and META Meta +
Hodos"
Tenney's major work from 1961,
Meta + Hodos has been recognized as
one of the most important and influential theoretical treatises
of the past
thirty years. It is an early attempt to redefine the language of
musical
form in light of the experimentation of composers like Varese,
Webern, and Cage. META Meta + Hodos, written in 1975, is an
extremely
concise restatement of the ideas of the previous work,
incorpor-ating
new ideas from information theory, perception and cognition
research,
as well as Tenney's own work in musical form. Both classic works
are
presented together in one special edition. This new second edition
includes many corrections and emendations by the author.
* David Rosenboom, "Biofeedback and the Arts."
Rare second edition of this groundbreaking 1975
publication covering work
done by major artists and researchers in the field of
biofeedback and the arts,
and neurological information processing related to aesthetic
experience.
Only available through Frog Peak Music.
