Between Air and Electricity: Microphones and Loudspeakers as Musical Instruments
After the sound reproduction industry had claimed “perfect high fidelity” for sound recordings already at the beginning of the twentieth century, composers and sound artists challenged this perfection by tweaking microphones and loudspeakers to make them act as a musical instrument instead of a mere sound reproduction device.

Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation: A Reading of the Lyrics 1965-1967
Many critics have interpreted Bob Dylan’s lyrics, especially those composed during the middle to late 1960s, in the contexts of their relation to American folk, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll precedents; their discographical details and concert performances; their social, political and cultural relevance; and/or their status for discussion as “poems.” Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation ins…

The Cowboy Legend : Owen Wister's Virginian and the Canadian-American Ranchin…
The cowboy, as perhaps no other figure, has captured the imagination of North Americans for over a century. Before Owen Wister’s publication of The Virginian in 1902, the image of the cowboy was essentially that of the dime novel – a rough, violent, one-dimensional drifter, or the stage cowboy variety found in Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West show. Wister’s novel was to transform, almost o…
