Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Horse racing, chicken chasing and greased pole climbing: inside rural Louisiana's Mardi Gras celebrations where mockery, chaos and joy intertwineEvery year, as Ash Wednesday approaches, rural communities in southwest Louisiana are set into motion by the Courirs de Mardi Gras--ritualized runs in which masked and costumed participants travel from house to house, singing, dancing and begging for ingredients to prepare a communal gumbo. In Courir, photographer David Simpson offers a rare, intimate immersion into this living folk tradition, the result of more than 30 years of photographic engagement with Cajun and Creole Mardi Gras celebrations. Both ethnographic and poetic, it stands as a visual homage to a tradition rarely seen from within. Simpson's photobook preserves a fragile cultural inheritance while honoring its vitality, offering readers a vivid encounter with a ritual that continues to evolve and bind communities together through shared performance and celebration.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Revitalizing the sonic legacy of one of the most sacred sites in Eastern Orthodoxy Published with Musee d'Ethnographie de Geneve . A spiritual center of Eastern Orthodox monasticism for over 1,000 years, Greece's Mount Athos exists apart from much of the modern world. Today, nearly 2,000 monks continue to dedicate their lives to prayer, ritual and worship, sustaining a tradition passed down through generations. Echoes from the Holy Mountain presents this extraordinary cultural and spiritual heritage through a 2xLP vinyl edition and a bilingual (English/Greek) book. Drawing from sacred chants, contemporary sound works and critical texts, the project approaches Athos not as a distant relic, but as a living space whose practices, sounds and philosophies continue to resonate in the 21st century.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 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.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. 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, Candomble 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.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Creating a dialogue between past and present, Circassian history lives on in this visually and sonically enchanting projectPublished with Ored Recordings . Drawn from the village of Ulyap, this book and 2xLP vinyl preserve the musical and cultural heritage of the Circassian people, who were massacred almost to extinction by the Russian Empire in the 19th century. Rather than presenting Circassian music as a fixed, historical artifact, Ulyap frames it as a living, evolving practice. The book combines ethnographic essays, photo documentation, interviews and artwork, offering insight into the forms, meanings and social functions of Circassian music, while the vinyl captures performances, archival recordings and contemporary reinterpretations that extend the tradition into new sonic territories.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. 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.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 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.
