ABOUT THE BOOK :
Under your skin will be a 350- 400 page book with a dvd about musicians from around the world, from popular music to classical .
UNDER YOUR SKIN A CULTURAL MOSAIC ON THE ART OF MUSIC AND ITS CREATORS .
In many ways Under Your Skin is the first exploration on the cultural diversity of music. The book gives a valuable insight on artists from around the globe – from Popular Music to Jazz, Hip Hop, Reggae, Avantgarde, Metal, Electronic, DJ-ing/Turntablism and Classical. The book comprises a vast affiliation of artistic and social culture in its variety and illuminates in a world-wide discussion its usefulness in today’s societies. In interviews the artists discuss their careers, their ups and downs, their tactical skills needed to bring music to the market, the light and shadow sides of touring and the effect it causes.
Under Your Skin covers musicians from different generations and gives the reader a close insight into the music business which is rarely shown, from the day to day pursuits to the more humorous side of the business.
The book will also include artwork, photographs and cartoons which will make
Under Your Skin a very collectable item ........ Y.D.
This book is specially for the up and coming generation of musicians and artists, I hope that it will be useful for them during their time in music and the music in their time .
Positive change should always be the aim not just any change .............. Alexander .
