(LACMA) Hosted Its Ninth Annual Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 2, 2019, Honoring Artist Betye Saar and Filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón
(Los Angeles, November 3, 2019)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) hosted its ninth annual Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 2, 2019, honoring artist Betye Saar and filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón. Co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, the evening brought together more than 800 distinguished guests from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries, among others. This year’s gala raised more than $4.6 million, with proceeds supporting LACMA’s film initiatives and future exhibitions, acquisitions, and programming. The 2019 Art+Film Gala was made possible through Gucci’s longstanding and generous partnership. Additional support for the gala was provided by Audi. Eva Chow, co-chair of the Art+Film Gala, said, “I’m so happy that we have outdone ourselves again with the most successful Art+Film Gala yet. It was such a joy to celebrate Betye Saar and Alfonso Cuarón’s incredible creativity and passion, while supporting LACMA’s art and film initiatives. I couldn’t be more grateful to Alessandro Michele, Marco Bizzarri, and everyone at Gucci—our invaluable partner since the first Art+Film Gala—and to Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals for making this evening one to remember.” “I’m deeply grateful to our returning co-chairs Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio for helping us set another Art+Film Gala record,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director. “We honored two incredibly powerful artistic voices this year. Betye Saar has helped define the genre of Assemblage art for nearly seven decades, and recognition of her as one of the most important and influential artists working today is long overdue.

TYLER APRIL 2013 Copyright Lockland V. Tyler 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Over the years professional philosophy has undergone a number of significant changes. One of these changes corresponds to an increased emphasis on objectivity among philosophers. In light of new discoveries in logic and science, contemporary analytic philosophy seeks to establish the most objective methods and answers possible to advance philosophical progress in an unambiguous way. By doing so, we are able to more precisely analyze concepts, but the increased emphasis on precision has also been accompanied by some negative consequences. These consequences, unfortunately, are much larger and problematic than many may even realize. What we have eventually arrived in at in contemporary Anglo-American analytic philosophy is a complete repression of humanistic concerns.

An Analysis of Sound and Music in the Shining and Bridget Jones' Diary
Pace University DigitalCommons@Pace Honors College Theses Pforzheimer Honors College 2019 The oundS s Behind the Scenes: An Analysis of Sound and Music in The hininS g and Bridget Jones’ Diary Abby Fox Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses Part of the Communication Commons, and the Film and Media Studies Commons Running head: THE SOUNDS BEHIND THE SCENES The Sounds Behind the Scenes: An Analysis of Sound and Music in The Shining and Bridget Jones’ Diary Abby Fox Communication Studies Advisor: Satish Kolluri December 2018 THE SOUNDS BEHIND THE SCENES 2 Abstract Although often subtle, music and sounds have been an integral part of the motion picture experience since the days of silent films. When used effectively, sounds in film can create emotion, give meaning to a character’s actions or feelings, act as a cue to direct viewers’ attention to certain characters or settings, and help to enhance the overall storytelling. Sound essentially acts as a guide for the audience as it evokes certain emotions and reactions to accompany the narrative unfolding on-screen. The aim of this thesis is to focus on two specific films of contrasting genres and explore how the music and sounds help to establish the genres of the given films, as well as note any commonalities in which the films follow similar aural patterns. By conducting a content analysis and theoretical review, this study situates the sound use among affect theory, aesthetics and psychoanalysis, which are all highly relevant to the reception of music and sound in film. Findings consist of analyses of notable instances of sound use in both films that concentrate on the tropes of juxtaposition, contradiction, repetition and leitmotifs, and results indicate that there are actually similar approaches to using sound and music in both films, despite them falling under two vastly different genres.

Jon Batiste - We Are Episode 205
Song Exploder Jon Batiste - We Are Episode 205 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. (“We Are” by JON BATISTE) Hrishikesh: Jon Batiste is a pianist, songwriter, and composer from New Orleans. He’s been nominated for multiple Grammys, and just won the Golden Globe and got an Oscar nomination for the soundtrack to the Pixar ﬁlm Soul, which he composed along with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Jon is also a recipient of the American Jazz Museum’s lifetime achievement award, and on weeknights, you can see him as the bandleader on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In March 2021, he put out his new album, We Are. But the title track from it actually came out much earlier last year in June 2020. Jon: We put the song out during the Black Lives Matter protest before it was even ﬁnished being mixed and mastered. Hrishikesh: In this episode, Jon talks about how he drew from his roots, both at a personal level and at a cultural level, and wove all of it into the song. Jon: I’m Jon Batiste. (Music fades out) Jon: So I started working on this song in September of 2019 with Kizzo, a great producer from the Netherlands, and Autumn Rowe. We met up in New York City. And this is pre-COVID, my life is busy - I'm doing the Late Show, I'm writing the score for Soul.

A Journey to the Soul of Jon Batiste
In Tune Activity Plans – Volume 18, Issue 5 Cover Story: A Journey To The Soul of Jon Batiste National Standards: 7-8, 11 Jon Batiste grew up in a New Orleans jazz family of top teachers and performers. He has a masters degree from Julliard, a week nightly gig as musical director on The Late Show with Steven Colbert, the music director for The Atlantic and Co-Artistic Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.

He named his band “Stay Human” and believes in the power of interpersonal connection, saying that music has the power to elevate the spirit.
