Just finished reading the new ambient book, Music Beyond Airports to be published August 1st! Lots of exploration of Eno's work in this one. I've added it to Goodreads so everyone can mark it as read when they finish it.
I'm in no way affiliated other than having enjoyed the text so I'll share - Print edition available here: https://www.gazellebookservices.co.u...htype=advanced And the official free ebook download here: https://unipress.hud.ac.uk/plugins/books/19/

Celebrating the latest arrival in a long line of texts on 20th-century musicological philosophy in my library - this one an insistent recommendation from a dear friend.
No Such Thing As Silence: John Cage's 4'33" by Kyle Gann. I'm taking a vacation this weekend but can't wait to dive into this one! I should compile a master list of all my books along this theme to share with fellow members of what Cage called in his dedication page to Empty Words '73-'78 - "the students in the school from which we'll never graduate." Inspiring stuff. <3

From my member journal, but in theme with this thread:
Professor Cory Doctorow - Essential Texts on Free Culture  Cory Doctorow is a science fiction author, activist, journalist, and blogger, as well as the co-editor of Boing Boing, and a contributing writer to Wire. He worked for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and helped establish the Open Rights Group. Doctorow was also the keynote speaker at the July 2016 Hackers on Planet Earth conference. He is the originator of Doctorow's Law: "Anytime someone puts a lock on something you own, against your wishes, and doesn't give you the key, they're not doing it for your benefit." Common themes of his work include digital rights management, file sharing, and the digital economy. I've read and re-read his articles numerous times after downloading his DRM-free ebooks from his Craphound dot com website, and decided these were essential titles for my physical library so I've purchased printed copies and am enjoying reading them all over again. Here are Content, Context, and Information Doesn’t Want To Be Free. Highly recommend as an insightful, brilliant, and funny collection of his infamous articles, essays, and polemics on the state of copyright and creative success for content creators in the digital age. These are essential works on Free Culture, Open Source, Creative Commons, Free Software Foundation, Copyleft, and the post-scarcity economics. I’d greatly welcome recommendations for other related films and literature for my library.

That has a name that reads like something word heavy. I'm not a big fan of Tolkien/Martin with their pages of descriptors. How does this compare?

It's something different. It's something way different. I don't want to give away why I'm rec'ing this to you but if you look up discussion about the author then I'm sure you'd realize why I am but I say go into it blind.
