Drone and Apocalypse is an exhibit catalog for a retrospective of twenty-first-century art. Its narrator; Cynthia Wey; is a failed artist convinced that apocalypse is imminent. She writes critical essays delineating apocalyptic tendencies in drone music and contemporary art. Interspersed amid these essays are ldquo;speculative artworksrdquo;; Weyrsquo;s term for descriptions of artworks she never constructs that center around the extinction of humanity. Weyrsquo;s favorite musicians are drone artists like William Basinski; Celer; Thomas Kouml;ner; Les Rallizes Deacute;nudeacute;s; and Eacute;liane Radigue; and her essays relate their works to moments of ineffability in Herodotus; Aristotle; Plato; Pliny the Elder; Isidore of Seville; Robert Burton; Hegel; and Dostoyevsky. Well after Weyrsquo;s demise; the apocalypse never arrives; but Weyrsquo;s journal is discovered. Curators fascinated with twenty-first-century culture use her writings as the basis for their exhibit ldquo;Commentaries on the Apocalypserdquo;; which realizes Weyrsquo;s speculative artworks as photographs; collages; and sound/video installations.

Each song is presented with chords and melody in standard musical notation. which is very helpful if you dont know the tunes. With 100 carols there are many that Ive never heard before. And most songs include as many as four additional verses. THis book will keep you learning for many Christmases to come.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
