Heartbeat Magazine: Music, Sound, Emotion

“If you like listening to the world around you, you might enjoy Heartbeat. It's massive magazine—200+ pages—with stories on everything from whale song to ancient Japanese bell foundries to lost country artists and New Zealand power pop acts, hearing trees fall in the forest and making music from pond sounds, bolero memories and Brazilian record collectors, pioneers of synthesizer music and makers of glass instruments, how our ears work and the sound of thought, and much, much more. Basically, it's a time-, genre-, and generation-agnostic compendium of writing about meaningful sounds. And every feature includes a playlist created by the writer, which means that it is stuffed with music to discover beyond the algorithmic bounds.”
