Community Services Report 2011-2012 Community Services Report 2011-2012 2 MISSION 2 INTRODUCTION 3–11 EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND IMPACT 11–15 PRESERVATION/ADVANCEMENT PROGRAMS AND IMPACT 16 COMMUNITY FEEDBACK 17 FUNDRAISING INITIATIVES 18-24 FINANCES AND SUPPORTERS 25 CONNECT AND CONTACT MISSION The GRAMMY Foundation was established by The Recording Academy in 1989 to cultivate the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture — from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of future generations of music professionals. INTRODUCTION Each year, the GRAMMY Foundation’s Community Services Report brings the missions of the GRAMMY Foundation — music education, preservation and advancement — to life with accounts of programs and events held throughout the 2 year across the country. We continue to expand our initiatives and attract diverse participants, whether they are young people applying for our GRAMMY in the Schools programs, promising law students submitting papers for our Entertainment Law Initiative (ELI) Writing Competition, or archivists, librarians, and scientific researchers submitting grant proposals to our GRAMMY Foundation Grant Program. While the term “forward- thinking” defines the GRAMMY Foundation’s approach to our strategic growth, the Community Services Report is a retrospective account of our 2012 Fiscal Year (Aug. 1–July 31) and an ideal place to look back. This year, we’ve chosen to begin with a snapshot of our program participants over several years, and we hope you enjoy hearing about where they are now. Many past GRAMMY Campers, both summer program and Jazz Taylor Swift with students at a GRAMMY Camp — SoundCheck in Austin, TX. grammyfoundation.org • grammyfoundation.org • grammyfoundation.org • grammyfoundation.org • grammyfoundation.org WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Session participants, have gone on to impressive achievements in their professional careers. A few examples are: STACEY FERREIRA (GRAMMY Camp summer 2009 and 2010) is co-founder and Vice President of MySocialCloud.com. She secured just less than $1 million in funding for her business from Richard Branson of Virgin Records, Jerry Murdock of Insight Venture Partners and Alex Welch of Photobucket. Today, Stacey and her brother/co-founder lead a team of nine staffers for their service that allows users to securely store usernames and passwords and automatically login to any website, as well as easily share, discover, store, and revisit content that people love online. GRACE KELLY (GRAMMY Camp – Jazz Session 2008) just released her seventh album Grace at the tender age of 19, and has won numerous awards including: the ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Award in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011. She was named Jazz Artist Of The Year at the Boston Music Awards in 2008 and 2010, and Best Jazz Act for the last four consecutive years in the Phoenix Best Music Poll. She graduated from Berklee College of Music and started a teaching residency there in January 2012. She was also featured on CNN.com in a story titled “Making Of A Prodigy.” KATIE THIROUX (GRAMMY Camp – Jazz Session 2003-2006) was awarded a presidential scholarship through Berklee College of Music, is playing gigs all over California, and jazz festivals including the Berklee Beantown Jazz Festival, Monterey 3 Jazz Festival, Münster Jazz Festival, Newport Beach Jazz Festival, Quito International Jazz Festival, and the San Miguel Allende International Jazz and Blues Festival, among others. She also released a debut album in 2011. The majority of winners and finalists in our ELI Writing Competition are now practicing attorneys contributing to the field of entertainment law. GOLDIE GABRIEL (ELI finalist, 2007) is the director of business and legal affairs at Warner/Chappell Music Inc. She recently successfully negotiated agreements for Dr. Dre, Sebastian Jacome, Kendrick Lamar, Lex Luger, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Marc Shaiman, and Waka Flocka Flame. BRIAN PEARl (ELI Finalist, 2011) now serves as an associate in the entertainment litigation department at O’Melveny & Myers, LLP. Prior to that, he was a law clerk for the Honorable Stephen V. Wilson, United States District Court, Central District of California. The recipients of our Grant Program, which will enter its 25th anniversary year in 2013, are impressive and inspiring. We’ve collected descriptions of funded projects dating back to 2000 and have featured three projects on our website at www. grammyfoundation.org. We invite you to check out these videos that tell the stories of Caffè Lena, America’s oldest continuously running folk music coffeehouse; the Herman Leonard Jazz Archive of the late photographer’s historically significant archive of 65,000 negatives; and the University of California, Los Angeles’ research project that studied the brain systems involved in emotional music perception in typically developing and autistic adolescents. grammyfoundation.org • grammyfoundation.org • grammyfoundation.org • grammyfoundation.org • grammyfoundation.org EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND IMPACT Under the banner of GRAMMY in the Schools, the GRAMMY Foundation pro- GRAMMY Camp duces and supports music education programs for high school students across the Soundcheck Students Reached country throughout the year to help inspire the next generation of music makers. 2011-2012 GRAMMY Camp – SoundCheck Program Los Angeles Chapter (includes 22% The GRAMMY Camp – SoundCheck program allowed students to attend profes- Foundation/Museum events) sional soundchecks featuring a wide range of emerging and established touring artists, along with technical and industry professionals.

  • A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura
    The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura L. Bunting-Hudson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Laura L. Bunting-Hudson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia Laura L. Bunting-Hudson How do rap artists in Bogota, Colombia come together to make music? What is the process they take to commodify their culture? Why are some rappers able to become socially mobile in this process, while others are less so? What is technology’s role in all of this? This ethnography explores those questions, as it carefully documents the strategies utilized by various rap groups in Bogota, Colombia to create social mobility, commoditize products and to create a different vision of modernity within the hip-hop community, as an alternative to the ideals set forth by mainstream Colombian society. Resistance Art Poetry (RAP), is said to have originated in the United States but has become a form of international music. In conducting ethnographic research from December of 2012 to October 2014, I was able to discover how rappers organize themselves politically, how they commoditize their products and distribute them to create various types of social mobilities. In this dissertation, I constructed models to typologize rap groups in Bogota, Colombia, which I call polities of rappers to discuss how these groups come together, take shape, make plans and execute them to reach their business goals.

To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Fabian Almazan
    Fabian Almazan Pianist and composer Fabian Almazan, a native of Cuba now residing in New York City, found his musical roots as a child in his homeland of Havana where he first became involved in the classical piano tradition. When his parents could not afford to pay for private piano lessons, having fled Cuba in political exile to Miami, FL, pianist Conchita Betancourt was gracious enough to impart free lessons for over three years. Thanks to Mrs. Betancourt's generosity, Fabian was able to audition for the New World School of the Arts High School in Miami, FL, where he studied from 1998 to 2002. In 2002, Fabian was selected for the piano chair in the National 2002 Grammy High School Jazz Combo. The following year, Almazan won the piano chair for the newly up and running Brubeck Institute fellowship program based in northern California where he studied with Mark Levine and performed with Dave Brubeck and Christian McBride. In 2003, Fabian moved to New York City to study with Kenny Barron at the Manhattan School of Music. During the completion of his bachelor's degree, Almazan immersed himself in the realm of orchestral composition, studying instrumentation and orchestration with Mr. Giampaolo Bracali. Under Mr. Bracali's tutelage, Almazan composed several pieces for orchestra and chamber ensembles. In the spring of 2009, Fabian Almazan was named a recipient of the Michael W. Greene Scholarship and received a master's degree from Manhattan School of Music, studying alongside Jason Moran. Fabian Almazan received the Cintas Foundation 2010/11 Brandon Fradd Award in Music Composition.

  • “Knowing Is Seeing”: the Digital Audio Workstation and the Visualization of Sound
    “KNOWING IS SEEING”: THE DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION AND THE VISUALIZATION OF SOUND IAN MACCHIUSI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2017 © Ian Macchiusi, 2017 ii Abstract The computer’s visual representation of sound has revolutionized the creation of music through the interface of the Digital Audio Workstation software (DAW). With the rise of DAW- based composition in popular music styles, many artists’ sole experience of musical creation is through the computer screen. I assert that the particular sonic visualizations of the DAW propagate certain assumptions about music, influencing aesthetics and adding new visually- based parameters to the creative process. I believe many of these new parameters are greatly indebted to the visual structures, interactional dictates and standardizations (such as the office metaphor depicted by operating systems such as Apple’s OS and Microsoft’s Windows) of the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Whether manipulating text, video or audio, a user’s interaction with the GUI is usually structured in the same manner—clicking on windows, icons and menus with a mouse-driven cursor. Focussing on the dialogs from the Reddit communities of Making hip-hop and EDM production, DAW user manuals, as well as interface design guidebooks, this dissertation will address the ways these visualizations and methods of working affect the workflow, composition style and musical conceptions of DAW-based producers. iii Dedication To Ba, Dadas and Mary, for all your love and support. iv Table of Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................
