From the early years; when he morphed from celebrated poet to provocative singer-songwriter; to his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Leonard Cohen has endured as one of the most enigmatic and profound figures—with a uniquely compelling voice and unparalleled depth of artistic vision—in all of popular music. The aesthetic quality and intellectual merit of Cohenrsquo;s work are above dispute; here; for the first time; a team of philosophers takes an in-depth look at its real significance.Want to know what Cohen and Kierkegaard have in common? Or whether Cohen rivals the great philosophical pessimist Schopenhauer? Then this book is for you. It provides the first thorough analysis of Cohen from various (philosophical) positions. It is intended not only for Cohen fans but also undergraduates in philosophy and other areas. It explores important neglected aspects of Cohenrsquo;s work without attempting to reduce them to academic tropes; yet nonetheless will also be useful to academics—or anyone—beguiled by the enigma that is Leonard Cohen.

CovingtonFinally; the book Ive been waitingâ£ï¸ And by one of my favorite publishers. Oxford University Press. Its easy to read and very well illustrated. Even some of what it presents Ive figured on my own using several inexpensive synths; what it adds to my understanding of making and mixing sounds is indespensible. It current with the contemporary technology and jargon. I highly recommend this book if you want to understand how sounds interact with each other and how to avoid making mud with your mixes.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent purchase!By CustomerThis book is both interesting and useful for beginners and even expert producers. Starts with a history of synthesis that provides a nice perspective on the art form. Then moves through different kinds of synthesis; describing the basics and developing towards how to use each method of synthesis at an expert level. The two authors provide a complementary take on sound production from multiple perspectives; recording engineer; composer; producer and mixer. Worth a purchase!!!
