He charts the emotional excitement felt by listeners when exposed to syncopated rhythms using a thought-provoking theory of time positions. These ideas then carry over into Pardo's own system of hand drum notation (HDN), a simple and straightforward iconography that allows percussionists of any level to sight-read two hand patterns and play authentic Conga rhythms in a short time. Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, Pardo takes musicians on an unusual rhythmic journey of discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntriguing and challenging, this bilingual study explores the unexpected relationship between music and three-dimensional space and provides a simple and accessible system for percussion notation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jorge Pardo Aia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1480832758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480832756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archway Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Jorge Pardo Aia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935669551359,"sku":"9781480832756","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_709fe950-ed62-430b-9adf-e9dbdfb65c18.jpg?v=1681421156","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conga-drums-in-space-and-aia-jorge-pardo-9781480832756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
