"The world of percussion encompasses a radically diverse family of instruments. In this book and accompanying recording, author Rocky Maffit presents an intriguing introduction to the sounds, shapes, and histories of more than fifty percussion instruments. Here you will explore the lore and traditions behind triangles, tambourines, and 'taiko'. You will find instruments as old as the 4,500-year-old 'sistrum,' and as new as the electronic wavedrum. You will even learn about the unique waterphone, an instrument that creates the eerie sound effect heard in countless horror movies. Photographer Chris Brown brings each instrument to life with vivid, evocative images. 'Rhythm and Beauty' is an eclectic sampler informed by Maffit's vision and enthusiasm for percussion. When paired with its partner compact disc, the result is a fascinating look at a world of sound, noise, rhythm, and beauty that lies at the heart of human expression." 136 pages. *NOTE: Due to size and weight of book additional shipping may be required for out-of-U.S. shipment in accordance with destination.
