Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The hysteria of tarantism blurs the boundaries between music, medicine, spirituality and social experienceA legend of Southern Italy for almost a millennium, tarantism is a form of hysteria brought on by a bite from the Lycosa tarantula spider, to be cured only by music. The regional folk dance known as tarantella allegedly evolved as a remedy to this convulsive frenzy. Tarantismo consists of a bilingual (English/Italian) book and 2xLP conceived as a tribute to pizzica, a variation of tarantella from Puglia. Bridging anthropology, sound research and visual culture, the book and vinyl each explore the symbolic power of ritual, the physical language of trance and the enduring relationship between rhythm and healing. Rather than approaching tarantism as a closed folkloric past, the project treats it as a living cultural archive, open to reinterpretation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Duport's subdued yet spiritually charged photographs invite a quiet visual meditation on how light activates devotional spacesIn Fiat Lux, Olivier Duport (born 1989) explores the powerful relationship between light and the sacred as it unfolds within church architecture. Moving through chapels, cathedrals and devotional spaces across southern Italy, Duport's photographs examine how light structures spiritual experience--how it guides the eye, animates stone and transforms built form into a site of contemplation. Details of altars, vaults and thresholds emerge and recede, situating the viewer within a sensory encounter rather than a descriptive survey. The photographs move between material precision and spiritual suggestion, revealing how architecture becomes a vessel for immaterial experience. The title, Latin for 'let there be light,' invokes both a biblical origin and an architectural principle: light as revelation, presence and symbolic force.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On Louisiana's rich musical landscape: a melting pot of North American, African, European and Caribbean influencesThe songs of Louisiana's Francophone and Creole heritage have long flowed through its wetlands and bayous like living rivers of memory--carrying echoes of African rhythms, Native American chants, French ballads and Caribbean cadences. This deeply syncretic soundscape is neither fixed nor confined to a single identity, but continually reshaped by migration, resistance and reinvention. Pasé Bél Tan is conceived as a double offering: a 2xLP vinyl record paired with a bilingual (English/French) book, gathering sound, research and visual material into a project that honors Louisiana's plural musical heritage while opening it to new interpretations.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Maritime chants passed down through generations form the basis for this multivocal study of Arabian Gulf heritageTaking its title from the vocal calls traditionally sung by sailors and pearl divers to mark time at sea, Nahma approaches the Arabian Gulf not as a fixed geography, but as a resonant space shaped by circulation, exchange and polyphony. Bringing together artists, researchers and writers, the publication enmeshes historical narratives and modern practice through the common thread of maritime chants. Meanwhile, the 2xLP vinyl unfolds as an immersive sound experience, where traditional songs intersect with newly commissioned works by contemporary artists. Part written record, part sonic archive, Nahma invites readers to consider sound as a method of knowledge, revealing a constellation of perspectives--a woven net of commerce and ritual, modernity and inheritance, erasure and persistence.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A reader and record dedicated to the Afro-Brazilian religion, combining West African beliefs with Roman CatholicismAfter their arrival in Brazil, following a traumatic crossing of the Atlantic, enslaved peoples from West Africa sought to reconstruct their sacred cultural and belief systems within a hostile environment. The terreiros (ritual grounds) they established are still active sites of worship centuries later, bearing witness to an ever-adaptive religion celebrated both in Brazil and internationally within Afro-diasporic communities. Published as both a book and a double LP, Candomblé Sacred Rhythms in Brazil honors these beliefs, and the musical tradition that accompanies them, by documenting the past while critically and artistically reflecting on its contemporary evolution and future possibilities.…
