Cooper Professor of Music and Media Academic Head, Program in Media Arts and Sciences Making Musical Magic Live Inventing modern production technology for human-centric music performance Benjamin Arthur Philips Bloomberg Submitted to the Program in Media Arts and Sciences, School of Architecture and Planning, on January 17 2020, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media Arts and Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Abstract Fifty-two years ago, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band redefined what it meant to make a record album. The Beatles revolution- ized the recording process using technology to achieve completely unprecedented sounds and arrangements. Until then, popular music recordings were simply faithful reproductions of a live performance. Over the past fifty years, recording and production techniques have advanced so far that another challenge has arisen: it is now very difficult for performing artists to give a live performance that has the same impact, complexity and nuance as a produced studio recording.

    PRESS RELEASE Bremen, 13 March 2018/cp “Music Festival Goes Overseas” — The Long Night of Jazz Exclusive cast: Metropole Orkest, Jacob Collier and Bokanté They are back: the Metropole Orkest and its leader Jules Buckley! The orchestra based in Hilversum is unique in the European music world as it is the only big band with a full string section, and its broad and diverse repertoire has made it the epitome of musical creativity and overflowing enthusiasm in its playing. Now, for the fourth time, the band will be guiding “Music Festival Goes Overseas,” the long night of jazz in the Überseestadt. A Germany-wide exclusive event will find them in the BLG-Forum at 7 p.m. on Saturday, 8 September, when they will meet up with two artists who are equally diversified and happy to experiment: Jacob Collier and Bokanté. Whether Al Jarreau, Ella Fitzgerald, Elvis Costello, Shirley Bassey, Pat Metheny, Tori Amos, Brian Ferry, Caro Emerald or Gregory Porter, performances with great artists are everyday occurrences for members of the Metropole Orkest. In 2016, they met the young, highly tal- ented multi-vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier during the BBC Proms. Since his 2013 video (that he produced and directed himself) of a cover version of Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing” collected millions of YouTube clicks, great names such as Quincy Jones, Jamie Cullum or Herbie Hancock have waxed enthusiastic about the creativity of the 23-year-old from London. His collaboration with the Metropole Orkest continued during the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2017 and will this year go into the third round.

INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin 19 March 2019 - 1 April 2019 INVESTIGATIONS France Net Widens in Tennis Match-Fixing Racket Probe, 137 Players Under Suspicion Seven French tennis players were detained by French police this week under suspicion of throwing games at the behest of a match-fixing mastermind, known to players as “The Maestro.” The Maestro is Armenian Grigor Sargsyan who was arrested by Belgian police late June and remains in custody. He is accused of fronting a massive gambling syndicate that targeted players in the lower echelons of professional tennis and convinced dozens to fix hundreds of games for cash. French sports daily L’Equipe reports that the seven players detained and questioned this week brings the total from the country to 17. While the seven have not been identified, authorities said five had admitted accepting money from the syndicate to throw matches. One said he had fixed over 20, receiving around $34,000 in return. Belgian police, who are leading the investigation, have said they now suspect 137 players from more than half a dozen countries, including the US, after pouring over phone records linked to the Maestro, and have requested assistance from the FBI. The scheme was organized via encrypted messaging and players are believed to have been paid between $570 and $3,400 to throw matches.
