Polycultural Synthesis in the Music of Chou Wen-chung
The displacement of Chou Wen-chung from his native China in 1948 forced him into Western-European culture. Ultimately finding his vocation as a composer, he familiarized himself with classical and contemporary techniques but interpreted these through his traditionally oriented Chinese cultural perspective. The result has been the composition of a unique body of repertoire that synthesizes the most progressive Western compositional idioms with an astonishingly traditional heritage of Asian approaches, not only from music, but also from calligraphy, landscape painting, poetry, and more. Chou’s importance rests not only in his compositions, but also in his widespread influence through his extensive teaching career at Columbia University, where his many students included Bright Sheng, Zhou Long, Tan Dun, Chen Yi, Joan Tower, and many more. During his tenure at Columbia, he also founded the U.S.-China Arts Exchange, which continues to this day to be a vital stimulus for multicultural interaction. The volume will include an inventory of the Chou collection in the Paul Sacher Stiftung in Basel, Switzerland.

Blue Cheese and Chou Mian
A happy marriage of East (Chou Mian) and West(Blue cheese) in a small southern naval town has comic results, as an English and Chinese struggle to understand each other and the English. In the process we meet an eccentric array of local characters, exploring institutional Englishness in all its hilarious illogicality - a black satire which is also very funny.

MOST SEVERELY: Chou Pahrot and the quest for transcendence in 1970s Scotland
It's now, unthinkably, 50 years since the roaring, cathartic advent of punk. Few people know, however, that a band of bearded longhairs were making a more brutal, polarising noise than any of their punk peers.Chou Pahrot remain one of Scotland's best-kept secrets. Startling, exhilarating, innately weird, but surprisingly funny and charming, they were either adored or reviled: no one 'quite liked' Chou Pahrot. This book's title, Most Severely, references the band's habitual closing number, which encompassed an improvised, open-ended middle section which often degenerated - or blossomed - into full-blown anarchy.This is their story, intermingled with the author's reminiscences of life for feckless, sensation-hungry teenagers in Scotland's Central Belt in the 1970s. It's a memoir of misadventure, thwarted ambition, unfortunate timing, and questionable lifestyle choices: but it's also a parable of spectacular catharsis, redemptive laughter, and ragged glory. Amusing and poignant by turns, it's a love letter to a time, a place, and some extremely unusual people.
