Cocos Beckons - The Curse of Yemaya by Brian R Langhoff Pdf

Unknowingly plagued by an ancient curse, fishing vessel Captain Rachel Kristiansen and her dedicated female crew must follow clues left by one of her ancestors on a quest to a beautiful Pacific island rich in tales of an immense pirate hoard. They must take their ship, The Lady Destiny II, on an epic journey from Gloucester through perilous waters protected for eons by hidden entities that have been known to have doomed many mariners to a watery grave. They enter a world of dangerous creatures, ancient superstitions, paranormal spirits, and pirate lore in search of treasure and an end to the curse that has entrapped her family in a cycle of servitude and death for nearly 200 years. Confronted with numerous obstacles, they face off with the forces of the ancient goddess Yemayá. The trio must battle for their lives but, what sacrifices must be made to succeed? Will she and her aging Grandmother finally find peace from the ghosts of their past? Will she find fortune and riches beyond belief? Will Rachel finally be able to determine if she has been free to pursue her own destiny or has she been guided through life all along with little control of her actions? When two opposing gods are involved, anything is possible and who knows what the outcome will be?

Sounding Composition by Steph Ceraso Pdf

In Sounding Composition Steph Ceraso reimagines listening education to account for twenty-first-century sonic practices and experiences. Sonic technologies such as audio editing platforms and music software allow students to control sound in ways that were not always possible for the average listener. While digital technologies have presented new opportunities for teaching listening in relation to composing, they also have resulted in a limited understanding of how sound works in the world at large. Ceraso offers an expansive approach to sonic pedagogy through the concept of multimodal listening—a practice that involves developing an awareness of how sound shapes and is shaped by different contexts, material objects, and bodily, multisensory experiences. Through a mix of case studies and pedagogical materials, she demonstrates how multimodal listening enables students to become more savvy consumers and producers of sound in relation to composing digital media, and in their everyday lives.

Posthuman Rap by Justin Adams Burton Pdf

Posthuman Rap listens for the ways contemporary rap maps an existence outside the traditional boundaries of what it means to be human. Contemporary humanity is shaped in neoliberal terms, where being human means being viable in a capitalist marketplace that favors whiteness, masculinity, heterosexuality, and fixed gender identities. But musicians from Nicki Minaj to Future to Rae Sremmurd deploy queerness and sonic blackness as they imagine different ways of being human. Building on the work of Sylvia Wynter, Alexander Weheliye, Lester Spence, LH Stallings, and a broad swath of queer and critical race theory, Posthuman Rap turns an ear especially toward hip hop that is often read as apolitical in order to hear its posthuman possibilities, its construction of a humanity that is blacker, queerer, more feminine than the norm.
