PUBLIC VERSION TESTIMONY OF DENNIS KOOKER BACKGROUND My name is Dennis Kooker. I have been employed in the recorded music business for approximately 20 years. Since 2012, I have served as President, Global Digital Business and U.S. Sales, for Sony Music Entertainment (“Sony Music”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation, and currently the second largest record company in the United States.

  • The Voice As Trauma Recovery: Vocal Timbre in Kesha's “Praying” I
    The Voice as Trauma Recovery: Vocal Timbre in Kesha’s “Praying” I vividly remember the first time I heard the stunning, emotional power ballad that is “Praying.” Like many of us, I assumed Ke$ha—previously stylized with a dollar sign— only performed auto-tuned party anthems like “Tik Tok.” In 2017, Kesha, sans dollar sign, shocked listeners with her first single in 5 years—and her first ballad ever—“Praying.” In it, she reacts to the abuse she suffered from her former producer, Dr. Luke. In my presentation today, I will show how Kesha utilizes various registers, laryngeal positions, timbral effects, and places within the track’s sonic environment to portray symptoms of trauma and recovery—including improving thought patterns, an increasing ability to connect with others, and a growing sense of emotional strength and control. [s] In October 2014, after rehabilitation surrounding her abuse, Kesha sued Dr. Luke for sexual assault and battery, sexual and civil harassment, gender violence…and intentional infliction of emotional distress.1 She also sued multiple companies founded by Dr. Luke for negligence, including Kemosabe Records. The body of the lawsuit explains: [s] “For the past ten years, Dr. Luke has sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused Ms. Sebert to the point where Ms. Sebert nearly lost her life.” 2 [s] Kesha filed a court injunction in attempts to record elsewhere, but it was denied in February 2015.3 [s] Lacking evidence, Kesha’s lawsuits ended in Dr. Luke’s favor, making her bound to her six album contract with Kemosabe Records. Though devastated, she continued to make music, releasing the album Rainbow in August 2017, saying: [s] 1 Kesha Rose Sebert v.

    page 1 Friday, October 30, 2009 Book Review by David M. Ross Futurehit.DNA How The Digital Revolution Is Changing Top 10 Songs by Jay Frank Published by Futurehit, Inc. ©2009 Jay Frank, currently SVP of Music Strategy for CMT has sat in a number of musical gatekeeper chairs and always been somewhat outspoken, especially about the interaction between music and technology. So industry observers should not feign shock to see him don the scribe cap and set about inking his thoughts. Jay Frank Considering the author's digital expertise, it is not surprising that the book has its own website with complete details about where to purchase, social networking accounts and even a free first chapter. http://www.futurehitdna.com. The premise of Futurehit.dna is that by carefully monitoring consumer behavior and the technology surrounding the music, one can improve the odds that new music will be discovered and be successful. "Musicians are generally looking for a balance between art and commerce," Frank writes, "and for that this book becomes an important guide." However, he wisely warns, "Implementing these points will do you no good unless the underlying talent and quality is already there." Those looking for a quick, easy read and a fast solution are likely to be disappointed. The author's zeal for thorough explanations creates an ambitious study rich in historical details. Frank's intro begins with songs sung around a ©2009, MusicRow Communications, LLC—ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [email protected] page 2 Friday, October 30, 2009 campfire (no technology) and works his way through a Versions Of Hit Songs." "Most people care more about the century of innovation and the changes it imposed upon song than who is doing the singing," Frank writes.
