More than a music magazine, Heartbeat is a stunning, singular publication celebrating the emotion of sound. Its genre-defying features span nature and art, time and space to explore how what we listen to makes us feel. Richly illustrated stories cover the history of mechanical birdsong, memories of boleros, the sound of a falling tree, life with hearing aids, learning to sing like a whale, imagining the sound of thought, the peculiar freedoms of wingdings tracks, record collectors in São Paulo, Brazil, hip-hop style, the sacred tones of an 185-year-old Japanese bell foundry, glass instruments, pond music, singing gibbons, life-changing owl calls, and writing the songs people learn by heart. With features on Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Fairuz, Horsegirl, The Beths, Patrick Haggerty, RAMM:ΣLL:ZΣΣ, and the regulars at Oakland's Lakeside Lounge. Perfect bound, with two premium paper stocks. 208 pages, 8.25” x 11.25”
