<p>From the classical violinist to the hip hop producer, creating music pays homage to principles of harmony. It is not just the sum of the musical parts that makes a song come alive, but how every part interacts with others to create more harmonies, enriched melodies, dynamic rhythms, and more interaction. Composers, engineers, producers and performing musicians constantly use the harmonic principles derived from basic acoustics every time they work through a piece.<br />
This book offers a deep analytical dive into the theories of harmonics. It explores many nontraditional approaches such as extended and hyperextended chords and it includes an explanation for the consonance of the elusive minor triad. The book also covers voicing and arranging from a vertical or harmonic perspective, a system of classifying the sonority of each chord, how extended chords impact the listener, and how the composer applies these principles.</p>

Search and Rescue Has Never Been So Dangerous In a small Colorado town, Dusty Palmberg spends his days rock climbing and volunteering with the local search-and-rescue organization. When an airplane goes down in the backcountry, SAR volunteers do what they've done hundreds of times before: they head out into the wilderness to save the victims. But the pilot's affiliation with the CIA means that what should have been a simple extraction turns into a disastrous multi-agency recovery operation in the middle of the season's first real snowstorm, and the rescuers themselves require rescuing. When the airplane is buried by an avalanche, something in the pilot's luggage the CIA is desperate to get back is lost as well, and FBI agent Kelly Frey is ordered to retrieve the mysterious item. But to do that, he needs the help of somebody who really knows the backcountry, and before long, Dusty finds himself back in the wilderness.
