Die Geschichte der Gitarre reicht mindestens bis in die Antike zurück, wie andere Instrumente mit einem Körper und Saiten. Hier sind ein paar gute Artikel über die Geschichte der Gitarre von uralten Saiteninstrumenten bis zur Elektrifizierung im frühen 20. Jahrhundert.

"Jump Out of the Fire" (A View to a Kill Demo) (1985) – The earliest rough studio recording and demo version of the official James Bond theme song. Before the lyrics were changed to the iconic line "Dance into the fire," the original chorus line was built around "Jump out of the fire."
I do love this song, and have often thought of the lyrics being 'Jump- Into the Fire!' knowing it wasn't. Today I learned of the above unrecorded early version and I'm shaking my head in agreeance and understanding. 🤘🏼🎶

If you think you know everything there is to know about jazz, give this article a read! While this music has paved a unique path in every country, its journey in colonial Korea was surely one of the most extraordinary.

What is a couplet in the West is a manyo in Korea – but everywhere it is either biting humor or cruel satire. Just pay attention to the translated lyrics and the great performers from 1930s!

The cover of Patti Smith’s Horses is a lesson in the power of the "anti-performance". Shot by Robert Mapplethorpe in 1975, it bypassed the industry’s obsession with "approachable" female artists in favor of something raw and present
. Fifty years later, it lives in museums as one of the great works of 20th-century photography. ⚡️

Japan’s musical traditions do not exist in isolation. Many of their early foundations developed through sustained contact with cultural currents from China and Korea.
In an essay I published last summer, I looked at these transregional connections and the historical processes that shaped Japanese music up to 794 CE, before the consolidation of court-centered musical systems. Rather than treating musical traditions as fixed or purely national categories, the text focuses on transmission, adaptation, and the limits of retrospective classification.
The essay discusses early forms of musical exchange, the movement of instruments, modes, and practices, and the broader cultural and political conditions under which these influences were absorbed and transformed. It also reflects on how later historiography tends to simplify or homogenize these processes, often overlooking their layered and contingent nature.
If you are interested in early Japanese music, East Asian cultural history, or the question of how traditions take form through contact rather than isolation, you may find the essay useful.
