David Toop

    5. květen 1949

    David Toop je anglický autor, jehož dílo se zabývá zvukovou kulturou a improvizací. Jeho psaní prozkoumává hluboké spojení mezi zvukem, hudbou a lidskou zkušeností a často se pohybuje na pomezí kritiky, historie a osobní reflexe. Toopův přístup je charakteristický svou interdisciplinaritou a schopností spojovat zdánlivě nesourodé koncepty a hudební žánry. Jeho práce vyzývá čtenáře k zamyšlení nad tím, jak vnímáme a interpretujeme zvuky kolem nás.

      "You've been preparing for this moment for years--but as a Christian parent, you are well aware of the kind of ideological indoctrination that takes place on most college campuses. Will your child make it through the next four years with his faith intact? This is a question syndicated radio host Stephen Arterburn hears regularly from his listeners. In Understanding and Loving Your College Student, he teams with life coach James Phillis to help parents develop in their kids a love for God that encompasses their heart, soul, mind, and strength and a love for their neighbors on campus, as well as themselves. This book will help parents of kids still in junior high or high school lay a solid groundwork for living out their faith, offer tools for helping your child select the right school, including financial aid tips, help you let go of the reins of your child's life as he becomes an adult (and makes mistakes in the process), and help you transition from having a child in your home to having a relationship with the adult you have raised.

      When most parenting books were written decades ago, they did not address—nor could they address—all of the issues parents would face today in the era of technology and excess. Parents do not need another article that contradicts the last one they read; rather, they need insights, techniques, and strategies to tackle the issues of twenty-first-century parenting. That’s what the Understanding and Loving Your Child series of books will do. Understanding and Loving Your Child Who Smokes Pot will give parents methods they can use to connect with and support their children who use marijuana.

      In the 1970s David Toop became preoccupied with the possibility that music was no longer bounded by formalities of audience: the clapping, the booing, the short attention span, the demand for instant gratification. Considering sound and listening as foundational practices in themselves leads music into a thrilling new territory: stretched time, wilderness, video monitors, singing sculptures, weather, meditations, vibration and the interior resonance of objects, interspecies communications, instructional texts, silent actions, and performance art. Toop sought to document the originality and unfamiliarity of this work from his perspective as a practitioner and writer. The challenge was to do so without being drawn back into the domain of music while still acknowledging the vitality and hybridity of twentieth-century musics as they moved toward art galleries, museums, and site-specificity. Toop focused on practitioners, whose stories are as compelling as the theoretical and abstract implications of their works. 'Inflamed Invisible' collects more than four decades of David Toop's essays, reviews, interviews, and experimental texts, drawing us into the company of artists and their concerns, not forgetting the quieter, unsung voices. The volume is an offering, an exploration of strata of sound that are the crossing points of sensory, intellectual, and philosophical preoccupations, layers through which objects, thoughts and air itself come alive as the inflamed invisible
