Book excerpt: The Message of the Lyrebird is a photographic odyssey into one of the world's most mysterious creatures, the pristine lands that it inhabits, and the native forest friends it imitates.This companion guide to the feature-length film examines the lyrebird's unique abilities and sophisticated song and dance routines, which date back to the Early Miocene epoch, 18 million years ago.Australian filmmaker Mark B Pearce has compiled this beautiful book using screenplay extracts, homages to poets and writers, and the scribed knowledge from the film's multi-character narrative. Fascinating information and world-class photography of lyrebird imitation, courtship, habitat, plumage and reproduction is weaved with the behind-the-scenes story of a film that took 11 years to create.The book profiles D'harawal Dreaming law stories of the bird as well as modern-day understandings of its behaviours from a cinematographer, a scientist, a lyrebird sound recordist, a lyrebird keeper, a study group, an activist, and a Knowledge-Holder. In their attempts to observe and conserve nature, the characters of the film call for an end to the deliberate erosion of lyrebird habitats from commercial and industrial developments.The Foreword is written by Dr Anastasia Dalziell; with a background in behavioural ecology, Anastasia investigated the ecology of vocal mimicry in the Superb Lyrebird for her PhD research at the Australian National University and continues to write ground-breaking science on Menura novaehollandiae.In our modern age of spiritual confusion, the lyrebird stands as a symbol of sacred harmony - the speaker of all languages and the dancer of life. Lyrebird invites us to re-member our place in the natural world, and inspires us to cultivate the peace and reverence necessary for humanity's salvation.

Book excerpt: When Madeleine is shipped off to stay with her eccentric grandmother for the holidays, she expects the usual: politics, early-morning yoga, extreme health food, and lots of hard work. Instead, Madeleine tumbles back in time to 1900, where the wealthy Williamson family takes her into their home, Lyrebird Muse. At a time when young girls have no power and no voice, set against a backdrop of the struggles for emancipation, federation and Aboriginal rights, Madeleine must find a way to fit in with the Williamson family's four sisters - beautiful, cold Bea; clever, awkward Gert; adventurous, rebellious Charlie; and darling baby Imo - as she searches desperately for a way home. Meanwhile, the Williamson girls' enchanting German cousin, Elfriede, arrives on the scene on a heavenly wave of smoke and cinnamon, and threatens to shatter everything... 'I found myself magically transported to a time gone by ... This is a novel about feminism: about where we have been and where we are now. Written with elegance, humour, intelligence and originality, When the Lyrebird Calls is as precious as the lyrebird itself.' SOFIE LAGUNA, Miles Franklin Literary Award winner 'When the Lyrebird Calls is truly beautiful, a wonderful book. I have no doubt it will be widely read and loved for many years to come.' FIONA WOOD

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together contributions from a wide range of international academics and practitioners. It traces innovations within classical music practice, showing how these offer divergent visions for its future. The interdisciplinary contributions to the volume highlight the way contrasting ideas of the future can effect change in the present. A rich balance of theoretical and practical discussion brings authority to this collection, which lays the foundations for timely responses to challenges ranging from the concept of the musical work, and the colonial values within Western musical culture, to unsustainable models of orchestral touring. The authors highlight how labour to meet the demands of particular futures for classical music might impact its creation and consumption, presenting case studies to capture the mediating roles of technology and community engagement. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of musicology and the sociology of music, as well as a general audience of practitioners, freelance musicians, music administrators and educators.

Book excerpt: Is artificial intelligence (AI) becoming more and more expressive, or is human thought adopting more and more structures from computation? What does it mean to perform oneself through AI, or to construct one’s subjectivity through AI? How does AI continue to complicate what it means to have a body? Has the golden age of AI, especially with regards to creative applications, already ended? Choreomata: Performance and Performativity after AI is a book about performance and performativity, but more specifically, it is a book about the performance of artificiality and the performance of intelligence. Both humans and human-designed computational forces are thoroughly engaged in an entangled, mutual performance of AI. Choreomata spins up a latticework of interdisciplinary thought, pairing theoretical inquiry from philosophy, information theory, and computer science with practical case studies from visual art, dance, music, and social theory. Through cross-disciplinary proportions and a diverse roster of contributors, this book contains insights for computer scientists, social scientists, industry professionals, artists, and beyond.
