Sunhouse to Demo Sensory Percussion at the 2016 Winter Namm Show 45-50 30th Street www.sunhou.se Studio 40 IG | TW | FB: @sunhouseinc Long Island City, NY 11101 [email protected] Sunhouse Media Contacts: Tenoch Esparza | [email protected] | 650-714-3803 Connect with Sunhouse: www.sunhou.se | instagram.com/sunhouseinc | facebook.com/sunhouseinc twitter.com/sunhouseinc | youtube.com/sunhouseinc Media Assets: http://sunhou.se/sunhouse_namm2016.zip FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2016 NAMM Show Booth #2544 Hall D THE REVOLUTION IN MODERN DRUMMING IS HERE: SUNHOUSE TO DEMO SENSORY PERCUSSION AT THE 2016 WINTER NAMM SHOW LONG ISLAND CITY, NY –– JANUARY, 2016 –– After raising over $94k in a successful Kickstarter in August, 2015, Sunhouse will demonstrate its new system for electronic percussion, Sensory Percussion, at The 2016 Winter NAMM show (booth #2544). Sensory Percussion turns the surface of any drum into an expressive digital music controller, allowing drummers to play unlimited sounds and effects while preserving all the human nuances of live performance. With a small, easy-to-attach sensor that communicates with Sunhouse’s proprietary Mac/PC software, Sensory Percussion enables the control of multiple sounds from a single drum. This is already far beyond current trigger systems that can only control a single sound per sensor. But what makes this system truly revolutionary is that it also allows the musician to play "between" sounds and to control continuous effects based on where the drum is hit, allowing creative possibilities that are orders of magnitude beyond any competing product. This is done by analyzing the rich acoustics of real drums through advanced digital signal processing and machine learning techniques. Each strike of a drum produces a unique sound and Sensory Percussion's software is trained to understand and interpret these sounds allowing the drummer to map them to any electronic process he or she wants. Sunhouse has put together a formidable lineup of some of the best drummers and producers in the industry to demonstrate Sensory Percussion at its booth. These drummers will play sounds produced and curated by the Grammy Award-winning producer/drummer Andre “Dre” Harris. In addition, the MC Yameen Allworld, will be MCing Sunhouse demos throughout the show. Sensory Percussion is currently available for preorder on the Sunhouse website (http://sunhou.se) at a discount and is slated to ship in March, 2016. Here are the prices available during the preorder period: ● Starter kit (software and 1 sensor): $649 ($700 retail) ● Duo (software and 2-sensor bundle): $949 ($1,025 retail) ● Trio (software and 3-sensor bundle: $1,215 ($1,315 retail) ● Complete Kit (software and 4-sensor bundle): $1,449 ($1,575 retail) The drummers featured at the Sunhouse booth (#2544) are: ● Tlacael Esparza is the co-founder of Sunhouse and inventor of Sensory Percussion and a drummer with fourteen years of professional stage and studio experience behind the kit, which includes tours with renowned electronic musician Nicolas Jaar, The Dave Harrington Group, ARMS, and Friend Roulette. Quote: I’m blown away by the enthusiasm and support we’ve received from some of the best drummers in the game! We have an incredible lineup of drummers who’ll be joining us at NAMM to demo Sensory Percussion.” ● Andre “Dre” Harris, Grammy Award-winning producer, musician and writer. A heavily sought after and acclaimed producer, Dre has produced songs for many artists, including Justin Bieber, Jill Scott, Chris brown, Usher, Trey Songz, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Miguel, Flo Rida, Alicia Keys, Wale, Michael Jackson, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Ciara, Melanie Fiona, and Robin Thicke… to name just a few… Quote: “As a Producer and a drummer I think sensory percussion is the future...for drummers who perform live and in the studio. These sensors allow you bring acoustic and electronic sounds together with endless possibilities and will change the traditional way of recording drums and playin’ live shows, for sure.” ● Yameen Allworld, MC, party narrator, producer, songwriter and entertainer. West Philadelphia born and raised and has worked with acts such as Questlove, the Roots, Floetry, Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton and Jill Scott. ● Greg Fox – Chris Richards of the Washington Post says, "Good drummers aren’t uncommon. Great ones are. We still mourn Keith Moon of the Who and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin as the jolly bashers of modernity. Here comes the future, they seemed to be telling us with their sensational ka-blammo. Together, they popularized the notion that, in rock-and-roll, a drummer’s unsolemn duty is to establish a sense of time while happily smashing it to bits. Greg Fox reactivates that idea for the Information Age." Greg Fox plays drums with Guardian Alien, Liturgy, Ben Frost, Colin Stetson, Dan Deacon. ● Rashid Williams, as an independent artist, is currently touring with multi-platinum and nine time Grammy Award-winning artist John Legend.

During his down time, Rashid works on his solo project, titled “Another Side of Me.” Quote: “This technology is truly defining ‘GAME CHANGER’… Giving the drums a whole new possibility! Not to mention completely new ideas!! Simply Amazing!!!” ● George "Spanky" McCurdy is a world renowned gospel/soul/pop/hip-hop drummer and producer. Spanky has toured with Lady Gaga, Diddy, Kanye, and Jill Scott, to name just a few. He is currently on tour with Ms. Lauryn Hill.

He was recently featured on Fox’s hit show, “Empire” Holiday Special. Quote: "Sensory Percussion has totally opened up my way of thinking. It gives me unlimited options versus just one sound for each trigger. This is the new age of triggering, and this system might be far more advanced than any of our ideas, so I'm extremely excited!" ● Kiran Gandhi, Kiran Gandhi is a drummer and artist who produces under Madame Gandhi. She has toured internationally with M.I.A and Thievery Corporation. When she’s not behind a kit, she’s often speaking about the future of the music industry, innovation, and feminism. Quote: "It is my favorite way to compose, and many of the songs on my album will use Sensory Percussion.

  • Reflections from Djs Rearranging Relations and Improvising Continuity
    Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, Vol. 14, No. 2–3 #djlife During the Pandemic: Reflections from DJs Rearranging Relations and Improvising Continuity Mark V. Campbell and Ayşe Barut Across multiple social media platforms, the hashtag #djlife has offered a glimpse into what DJs do in both their online and offline lives. Some DJs post their remixes, others post their practice sessions or their latest booking. Globally, as nightclubs closed their doors and festivals cancelled their 2020 editions in response to COVID-19, DJs were forced to reconsider how to maintain their livelihoods. Like most performers in popular culture, the DJ’s public visibility is tied to their continued relevance, so with two major arenas—festivals and nightclubs—closed, DJs had to quickly find a way to engage their fans. For many DJs, livestreaming themselves mixing records became a way to continue connecting with their fans. While several DJs were already livestreaming, such as DJ Mel Boogie on her Toronto-based radio show Studio B on Vibe 105 FM, many more delved into streaming for the first time during the pandemic. Platforms such as Facebook and Instagram became the go-to sites for various kinds of livestream events during the pandemic. Verzuz, a visual webcast series presented, created, and launched by multi-platinum producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz at the end of March 2020, quickly established viewership records as it went viral. Each Verzuz online event features two prominent recording artists squaring off “against” each other in a friendly competition, each sharing their esteemed catalogues. With high profile artists in events such as Jill Scott vs.

I also want to thank Tod Goldberg for accepting me into the program and for his very insightful comments on my work. The smart, thoughtful feedback from Mary Yukari Waters was also instrumental in getting my story where it needed to be. Thanks also to my many colleagues at UCR who provided very valuable comments on my work and whose work I too admire. I am so lucky to have had you as friends in this program, so much so that I copied verbatim the first half of this sentence from the sample acknowledgments page in the thesis review packet. Last, I want to thank my parents Suresh and Shaila Supekar who gave me the stories to tell and the desire to tell them by virtue of just being here, in America, as immigrants who left so much behind in India. And of course, none of my work would be possible without the love—upon which everything is built, really—from my partner Arturo Aguilar, who pushed me to follow my dream and has supported me in every way throughout this journey.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Six Environmental Activists Win Goldman Prize
    03 May 2012 | MP3 at voaspecialenglish.com Six Environmental Activists Win Goldman Prize Goldman Prize Winners of the 2012 Goldman Prize FAITH LAPIDUS: Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC in VOA Special English. (MUSIC) I'm Faith Lapidus. This week on our program, we play music from the singer- songwriter Santigold… And, check out some of the advice on our relationship blog for a very shy man in Brazil … But first we tell about the recent winners of the twenty-twelve Goldman Prize for environmental activism. (MUSIC) 2012 Goldman Prize FAITH LAPIDUS: The Goldman Environmental Foundation recently recognized a group of individuals for their efforts to protect the environment. Each year, the American-based group honors environmental activists from six different areas. 2 The first three winners of the twenty-twelve Goldman Prize are from Kenya, the Philippines and China. Barbara Klein tells about them. BARBARA KLEIN: The Goldman Environmental Foundation says Ikal Angelei is a hero to the people who live around Lake Turkana. The Kenyan woman received the award because of her efforts to halt a dam project on a river in Ethiopia. Critics say the dam would harm the lake and restrict the flow of water for people who live nearby. Ikal Angelei formed an organization called the Friends of Lake Turkana. Its campaign against the dam was successful. And, the project has been halted – for now. The Philippine island of Mindoro is home to tribes that depend on the area's natural resources for food and jobs. Edwin Gariguez became concerned when a European company announced plans to mine for nickel on the island.
