Press Release PRESS RELEASE SABIAN EDUCATION NETWORK HOSTS EVENT AT VIC’S DRUM SHOP IN CHICAGO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE On May 3, 2016, the SABIAN Education Network hosted its latest panel discussion event for drum teachers at Vic’s Drum Shop in the Music Garage in Chicago, IL. With SEN director Joe Bergamini moderating, the teacher attendees listened to Victor Salazar (owner of Vic’s Drum Shop) discuss promotion and marketing your teaching business, Rich Stitzel (Chicago drummer and educator) focus on finding purpose as a teacher, and Meg Thomas (Chicago percussionist, drummer and educator) explain how to customize lessons for each student. A highlight of this event was having drum legend Billy Cobham on the panel. Billy discussed his upcoming Art of the Rhythm Section Retreat (coming up in August in Mesa, AZ), and various aspects of performing and teaching. After the event, as the educators networked, Cobham mingled with the attendees, posing for pictures and answering questions. “The Sabian Education Network (SEN) is doing great things. If you are a drum educator this is definitely an organization you should be a part of. With master educator and killer musician Joe Bergamini at the helm you know you are going to have access to high-quality educational material covering a full spectrum of topics,” said panelist Rich Stitzel. “It was a pleasure to be on the panel alongside Joe, Meg Thomas, Vic from VIc's Drum Shop, and Billy Cobham. Some deep, heavy, and relevant information was shared and the attendees seemed very inspired. I am honored to be part of an organization that is truly dedicated to evolving and expanding the methods of drumset education" Drum teacher Scott Paeth of Chicago won the giveaway prize, an AAX 21" Stage Ride, and once again the feedback was positive from the grateful and inspired educators who attended, including Kelli Rae Tubbs who made the trip from the Minneapolis area.

This will enable fans to easily upload images and video of their drum kits from gigs, studio sessions, bedrooms, even outdoors – where they will be hosted alongside images of Sabian artist set-ups. In addition to providing a forum for drummers to share their set-ups to a much wider audience than their personal social media pages, SHOW YOUR SABIAN also provides valuable feedback to Sabian cymbal craftsmen, as essentially it’s a place they can see their cymbal designs in an everyday, real-world setting. To start sharing your images and videos, simply visit www.sabian.com/en/show-us-your-sabian.

  • Beyond Westworld
    “We Don’t Know Exactly How They Work”: Making Sense of Technophobia in 1973 Westworld, Futureworld, and Beyond Westworld Stefano Bigliardi Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane - Morocco Abstract This article scrutinizes Michael Crichton’s movie Westworld (1973), its sequel Futureworld (1976), and the spin-off series Beyond Westworld (1980), as well as the critical literature that deals with them. I examine whether Crichton’s movie, its sequel, and the 1980s series contain and convey a consistent technophobic message according to the definition of “technophobia” advanced in Daniel Dinello’s 2005 monograph. I advance a proposal to develop further the concept of technophobia in order to offer a more satisfactory and unified interpretation of the narratives at stake. I connect technophobia and what I call de-theologized, epistemic hubris: the conclusion is that fearing technology is philosophically meaningful if one realizes that the limitations of technology are the consequence of its creation and usage on behalf of epistemically limited humanity (or artificial minds). Keywords: Westworld, Futureworld, Beyond Westworld, Michael Crichton, androids, technology, technophobia, Daniel Dinello, hubris. 1. Introduction The 2016 and 2018 HBO series Westworld by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy has spawned renewed interest in the 1973 movie with the same title by Michael Crichton (1942-2008), its 1976 sequel Futureworld by Richard T. Heffron (1930-2007), and the short-lived 1980 MGM TV series Beyond Westworld. The movies and the series deal with androids used for recreational purposes and raise questions about technology and its risks. I aim at an as-yet unattempted comparative analysis taking the narratives at stake as technophobic tales: each one conveys a feeling of threat and fear related to technological beings and environments.

  • The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel – Live and Energized 11.1‐Channel Auro‐3D® “Live” Recording Event (Working Title)
    The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel – Live And Energized 11.1‐Channel Auro‐3D® “Live” Recording Event (Working Title) Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2016 Arrive By 7:00 PM, Sound Check 8:00 PM NO Admission Fee Or Cover Charge Joe’s Great American Bar & Grill, Burbank, California Bernie Dresel’ s jazz orchestra, The BBB, is without question one of Los Angeles’ most exciting large jazz ensembles, if not on the planet. The BBB provides potent testimony to the sheer exhilaration of big band jazz...a combination of intense swing and fiery soloing, as well as tight ensemble playing. The BBB is comprised of sixteen seasoned pros on the LA studio scene. Populated by LA’s finest players, The BBB takes the big band tradition into the new millennium with a contemporary, highly original sound featuring the witty, intricate, and hard‐ swinging compositions of established and up‐and‐coming composers and arrangers. And like those other famous road bands such as Buddy Rich’s, Count Basie’s, Woody Herman’s, Stan Kenton’s, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis’, the music and delivery of The BBB’s music is nothing less than astonishing when experienced live. The sound has a contemporary, dynamic and hard swinging energy with a focused edge to it that is like no other jazz orchestra, though reminiscent of Buddy Rich’s ensembles. The band make‐up is unique in that there is no piano but jazz/rockin’ guitar instead, in addition to four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones and upright acoustic bass and drums. When people hear Bernie’s BBB, the first thing that hits them is its energy and intensity.

The information contained in this document may also be protected by legal privilege, federal law or other applicable law. Any distribution, dissemination or duplication of this docu- ment is strictly prohibited. SYNOPSIS Why is it that some countries seem to be continually mired in cyclical wars, political instability and economic crises? The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one such a place, a mineral-rich Central African country that, over the last two decades, has seen more than five million conflict-related deaths, multiple regime changes and the wholesale impoverishment of its people. Yet though this ongoing conflict is the world’s bloodiest since WWII, little is known in the West about the players or stakes involved. THIS IS CONGO provides an immersive and unfiltered look into the Africa’s longest continuing conflict and those who are surviving within it. By following four compelling characters — a whistleblower, a patriotic military commander, a mineral dealer and a displaced tailor — the film offers viewers a truly Congolese perspective on the problems that plague this lushly beautiful nation. Colonel ‘Kasongo’, Mamadou Ndala, Mama Romance and Hakiza Nyantaba exemplify the unique resilience of a people who have lived and died through the generations due to the cycle of brutality generated by this conflict.
