'Jo Morgan is a woman for our times. Fearless, determined, resourceful. An inspiring story of courage, vividly told with wry humour. A thoroughly engaging read.' JUDY BAILEY Mountaineer, adventurer, avid motorcyclist and constant traveller, Jo Morgan has lived an extraordinary life. The youngest of eight children, Jo was brought up largely by her mum after her father died when she was only one, and she has always had an adventurous side. As soon as she turned 15, Jo got her driver licence and bought her first motorbike: the start of a lifelong love affair. After meeting and marrying, Jo and her husband Gareth Morgan bought and revamped a passenger bus to live in with the first of their four children, setting the scene for a life less ordinary. Jo, along with Gareth and friends, has driven a motorbike through more than 110 countries and visited nearly 140 in total. But she would leave her greatest adventures till later in life when she took up climbing in her late fifties. She set herself a goal of summiting all 24 of New Zealand's 3000-metre-plus mountain peaks, with the help of her guide and friend, Wolfgang, nicknamed The Machine. They would ascend all but two of them before tragedy struck, killing both Wolfgang and his colleague Martin. In Dancing with the Machine, Jo recounts the remarkable, often hair-raising and occasionally tragic story of her unconventional life.

The age of high tech is haunted by an image from the last century that developed in the three decades between the patenting of the cinematographe and its turn toward sound: the dancing machine, paradox of the ease of mechanization and its tortures, embodiment of the motor and the automaton, image of fusion and fragmentation. An excavation of this image, in the historical context of maximum productivity and mechanical reproducibility, reveals its development in European Modernism--Modernism drawn to dancers of American, African, and Asian origins, to Taylorism as well as to Primitivism, to cinema and to myth. This book traces the abstraction and anonymity of the bodies making machines dance, in the codes of modernisms graphic and choreographic, and in the streamlined gestures of industry, avant-garde art, and entertainment. What surfaces is dance’s centrality to machine aesthetics and to its alternatives, as well as to the early elaboration of the machine that would become the ultimate guarantor of modern dance’s de-mechanization, the motion picture camera.

Dancing to the Drum Machine is a never-before-attempted history of what is perhaps the most controversial musical instrument ever invented: the drum machine. Here, author Dan LeRoy reveals the untold story of how their mechanical pulse became the new heartbeat of popular music. The pristine snap of the LinnDrum. The bottom-heavy beats of the Roland 808. The groundbreaking samples of the E-MUSP-1200. All these machines-and their weirder, wilder-sounding cousins-changed composition, recording, and performance habits forever. Their distinctive sounds and styles helped create new genres of music, like hip hop and EDM. But they altered every musical style, from mainstream pop to heavy metal to jazz. Dan LeRoy traces the drum machine from its low-tech beginnings in the Fifties and Sixties to its evolution in the Seventies and its ubiquity in the Eighties, when seemingly overnight, it infiltrated every genre of music. Drum machines put some drummers out of work, while keeping others on their toes. They anticipated virtually every musical trend of the last five decades: sequencing, looping, sampling, and all forms of digital music creation. But the personalities beneath those perfect beats make the story of drum machines a surprisingly human one-told here for the very first time.

Recognizing the effects of her failing kidneys, Gloria voluntarily entered a hospital hoping to be treated and be back home the same day. Almost one year later, she returned home, but not before her entire life was turned upside down. Refusing to go to a nursing home, she returned home by stretcher: her mode of transportation for several months. With a constant flow of physical therapist and nurses, her caregivers listened carefully and were present for most sessions. Among the family members was a little child who also listened attentively to all instructions. See what happens to the woman who was once told she might never live alone, she might never walk again, she might never drive, and she might lose her life. And if she lived, shed live without legs. How does she come back from such negative results to high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, stress, anemia, and doctors eager to amputate her legs? What can she do to keep herself alive? Whenwhat daywould she be without the pain of bedsores, the pain of skin grafts, and the pain of needles? An angel is needed, and it comes in the form of a dancing machine.

La passion de l’art irait-elle jusqu’à la folie meurtrière ? Comme Nijinski qu’il vénère, Alan Wolf aurait pu devenir l’étoile unique de sa génération. Mais il y a eu l’accident, et ses meurtrissures. Depuis, il dirige une académie de danse et ses élèves, fascinées, désirent et redoutent son regard et ses exigences. À ses côtés, Chico, dont le talent et la grâce contrastent bizarrement avec la vie douteuse, met en mouvements les volontés du maître. Mais une série de morts suspectes et le retour de Daphné viennent bouleverser cet univers d’apparente harmonie. Les tensions s’exaspèrent, le désordre et le doute s’insinuent, la menace remplace la magie. L’inspecteur Eparvier, chargé de l’enquête, fouille les vies, déterre le passé, force les secrets, s’acharne... Un suspense diabolique, l’histoire d’un amour fou, une peinture ardente et sensible du monde de la danse... Dancing Machine est à la fois un roman d’atmosphère et un vrai thriller.
