2015-04-02 10:00 CEST Nyskapande när digital teknik och musik möts En festival som blandar musik med digital teknik och innovation. Det är internationella Music Tech Fest som kommer till Umeå i maj. Music Tech Fest heter Umeås nya internationella mötesplats kring digital teknik och musik. Festivalen kommer att hållas i maj under tre dagar då musiker och digitala innovatörer möts i nya konstellationer, bland annat med ett hackathon. Music Tech Fest är en tre dagar lång musik-idé-festival som startade i London 2012, och som sedan dess hållits i Berlin, Boston, London, Wellington och Paris. Nu kommer den till Umeå och Sliperiet. Syftet är att genom experiment och lek utforska teknik, röst och rörelse, för att uppfinna nya musikinstrument och ny teknologi samt skapa unika upplevelser. Festivalen är öppen för allmänheten och har fri entré. Music Tech Fests grundare Michela Magas och producenten Andrew Dubber upptäckte Umeå under kulturhuvudstadsåret, och trivdes så bra att de köpte hus i Norrmjöle och har nu flyttat hit från London med festivalens huvudkontor på nyöppnade Sliperiet. Sliperiet är en internationell gränsöverskridande innovationsmiljö för forskare, konstnärer, entreprenörer, studenter och makers på Konstnärligt campus. – Vi blev helt förälskade i Umeå och den otroliga talang, intelligens och attityd vi mötte här, och bestämde att det är här vi vill ha vår bas, berättar Michela Magas. Interaktiv mötesplats Music Tech Fest är en interaktiv mötesplats för konstnärer, artister, forskare, näringsliv, akademi och musikindustri, med partners som Warner Music, Soundcloud, BBC, Spotify, och Shazam, mfl. Festivalen lockar internationella bloggare, hackare, artister, media och företag som vill interagera och samskapa med talanger och näringsliv i det nordliga rummet. Målet är att arrangera en årlig Music Tech Fest Scandinavia i Umeå och Sliperiet. – Sverige är världens största musikexportör per capita och Umeå ligger i framkant inom musik, design, kultur och innovation. Det är en levande stad som snabbt har utvecklas till ett hippt och naturnära weekendresmål. Umeå är helt enkelt en given plattform för MTF Scandinavia, säger Andrew Dubber. Music Tech Fest Scandinavia arrangeras 29 – 31 maj 2015 och innehåller bland annat en 24-timmars hackathon-tävling i musikteknologi och instrumentuppfinning. En dygnet runt-workshop där deltagare kan uppfinna, skapa och testa nya sätt att framföra musik på finns också med i programmet. Mikael Hansson Infotech Umeå är en strategisk satsning inom Uminova Innovation för att marknadsföra och utveckla innovationsmiljön för IT i regionen. Vi jobbar för att ge innovativa människor, företag och organisationer i regionen bästa möjliga stöd att utveckla idéer till IT-Innovationer och framgångsrika företag.

They produce documentaries for cinema and other platforms, and for agencies and clients who want to explore the documentary genre in all its possibilities. Their productions have been selected and awarded in many festivals: MiradasDoc, Milano International Documentary Festival, HotDocs and DOCSMX among others. They have been selected to participate in several workshops and pitches such as: IDW Visions du Réel; Cross Video Days; Docs Barcelona. ABRA ENSEMBLE Hall I + Abra Ensemble (Performance Space Exhibition) ABRA Ensemble's works aspire to undermine existing power structures as they express themselves in the voice, language patterns and ways of speech. They seek rather communal, feminist strategies of composition, listening and creative-coexistence. Exposing the emergence of the music itself, ABRA Ensemble bridges the existing limits between contemporary virtuoso vocal art and the performative, transformative encounter with an audience. In the five years since its founding in 2013, the ensemble has performed at a diverse range of venues in Israel and Europe, released a debut album and gained considerable recognition both in the new-music and contemporary performance scene. YARON ABULAFIA Jury Member 2019 / PQ Ambassador Yaron Abulafia has designed over 200 theatre and dance performances, installations, concerts and television shows internationally. He has designed for the Netherlands Dans Theater, the English National Ballet, Rambert Dance Company, Staatsballett Berlin, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba and the Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj in Romania – to mention but a few.

He's also the editor-in-chief of the ‘Ethiopian Journal of Health Sciences’, a peer-reviewed journal. Dr. Haileamlak does research on children's health and rheumatic heart disease. But when he shares his studies with journals based in high-income countries, he's often greeted with surprise. "They say they do not expect such quality research from a low-income country," he says. Other researchers in Africa report similar experiences. They say they simply don't get the same respect or representation as their Western counterparts. One research platform is trying to change that. That platform is AlphaGalileo. “Supporting the African research community is a natural part of our work,” commented Peter Green, Managing Director of AlphaGalileo, “we were created to encourage more and better use of the media by researchers. Our role includes support and encouragement not just delivering a world-class service.” Recent African research news carried by AlphaGalileo has included health research from SANTHE (the Sub-Saharan African Network for TB/HIV Research Excellence) where Professor Thumbi Ndung’u (above) is Programme Director, and also Director of the HIV Pathogenesis Programme (HPP) at UKZN, and a Principal Investigator at the African Health Research Institute (AHRI).

MIRES: from EU Project for Music Industry Roadmap to Global Music Tech Festival
MIRES: from EU project for music industry roadmap to global Music Tech Festival An EU-funded initiative for creating a European music industry roadmap has led to a series of music technology events around the world. Five ‘Music Tech Fest’ events have already been held and 13 more are scheduled for the coming year, covering eight countries and drawing hundreds of participants. musictechfest Music touches everyone, and MIRES project organisers say the Music Tech Fest is galvanising the world of music technology, drawing global recording labels and high-tech companies, start-ups and innovative SMEs, new and established performers, young innovators and hackers, designers and academics. ‘The field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) has tended to centre on the analysis of sound signal, for the purpose of more efficient search and faster access to digital collections of recorded music,’ explains Michela Magas, coordinator of MIRES project and founder of Music Tech Fest. Magas says the advent of web-based social networks has created a dynamic global market for digital music, collateral services and new user behaviour, with significant challenges and opportunities for commercial exploitation. ‘Our aim was to create an EU Roadmap for Music Information Research,’ she says, ‘to address major challenges, formulate research evaluation standards for the discipline, and open the field to cross- disciplinary collaboration.’ Workshops were to be a part of the project, allowing a meeting of minds between artists and scientists, industry and academia. The end result was a ‘festival of music ideas’, a creative platform for the free exchange of ideas, without jargon from individual fields of activity.

Listen to More Than a Shop Via Morethanashop.Coop Or Wherever You Get Your Podcasts
Listen to More Than a Shop via morethanashop.coop or wherever you get your podcasts. Elizabeth Alker, presenter Hello and welcome to More Than a Shop, hosted by me Elizabeth Alker. We're welcoming guests with something new and radical to say about the big issues of the day. Well the flavour of the series is a search for new alternative ideas in the spirit of the worldwide co‑operative movement, which happens to started in my hometown of Rochdale. Well, co‑ops proudly offer radical alternatives to mainstream ways of getting things done. They are indeed so much more than a shop. Today we're looking at an area that I'm very involved – the music industry – which has been undergoing waves of transformation for decades since the arrival of the Internet and, more recently, streaming services. The old ways of producing, distributing and listening to music have now changed forever. But where does this leave musicians – musicians who wants to make a living – and the audiences who want to support them? Can a fairer industry exist where artists, record labels, promoters and fans have a more equitable relationship? And how might co‑operative ownership play its part? Well, joining me to discuss all of this: it's BBC 6 Music DJ Chris Hawkins; and Terry Tyldesley – blogger, musician, and Chair of the Board at music streaming co-operative Resonate. Good afternoon. Terry Tyldesley, Resonate music streaming co‑op Good afternoon. Listen and subscribe via www.morethanashop.coop Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music DJ Hi, Elizabeth. Elizabeth Alker, presenter So later, I'm going to ask both of you for a key challenge facing the industry and a radical idea to change it.
