More than a music magazine, Heartbeat is a beautifully produced publication exploring the emotion of sound — how what we hear shapes memory, feeling, place, and connection. Moving between music, nature, art, and culture, its genre-defying stories celebrate listening in all its forms.
Inside Heartbeat:
the history of mechanical birdsong
memories carried through boleros
the sound of a falling tree
life with hearing aids
learning to sing like a whale
the sacred tones of a 185-year-old Japanese bell foundry
pond music, glass instruments, and singing gibbons
record collectors in São Paulo, Brazil
hip-hop style and the freedom of wingdings tracks
life-changing owl calls and the songs people learn by heart
Featuring stories on Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Fairuz, Horsegirl, The Beths, Patrick Haggerty, RAMM:ΣLL:ZΣΣ, and the regulars at Oakland’s Lakeside Lounge.
208 pages Perfect bound with two premium paper stocks. Measures 21 × 28.6 cm
