New York Avenue, Atlantic City, New Jersey AP WORLD An 501c-3, tax deductible organization built on the legacy of a beloved son, doing our part to strengthen families and inspire communities during difficult times. Professional basketball player, DeAndre’ Bembry of the Toronto Raptors, launched AP World in memory of his brother, Adrian Potts. Adrian celebrated his brothers’ accomplishments and planned to be sitting alongside DeAndre’ to watch the NBA draft on June 23, 2016. Adrian helped plan the draft party with their mother, Essence. Essence dedicated her life to helping her sons achieve success and was devastated when she received the dreaded phone call no parent ever wants to hear. In the early morning of June 11, 2016 literally days before the much-anticipated draft, Essence received the tragic news from Adrian’s father. Her 20-year-old, ambitious, fun-loving and tenacious son, was shot and killed near the University of North Carolina, Charlotte campus. This tragedy had a shocking and paralyzing effect on the Bembry family. Knowing where to find support and assistance while planning a funeral service, dealing with unimaginable grief and the reality of life without a son, brother and best friend, were overwhelming for Essence and DeAndre’. This family tragedy served as the catalyst for DeAndre’ to develop a support system that could be an anchor and a resource hub for other families who may have to take a similar journey through grief.

  • Manu Katché | Unstatic,Fourplay
    Manu Katché | Unstatic Gibt es tatsächlich „Abermillionen Alben“, auf denen der fränzösische Ausnahmemusiker Manu Katché mitwirkt, wie der Musiker und Journalist Jan Tengeler in seinem ausgezeichneten Artikel im Deutschlandfunk Kultur schreibt? Aber ja, sogar noch auf vielen mehr. Zum Glück für uns Hörer. Manu Katché ist natürlich ein herausragender Schlagzeuger und sensibler Perkussionist. Das ist ein Teil seines Werkzeugs. Will man aber ein kurzes Profil aufzeigen, so umfassen Termini wie Allroundmusiker, Komponist, Arrangeur und Produzent, der stilistisch nicht eingefangen werden will, gerade mal die Randmerkmale seiner Präsenz. So ist dann auch sein letztes Album „Unstatic“, veröffentlicht im Jahre 2016, ein wohlfeiler Ausflug in die 1970er Jahre, mit dem Groove von Hancock, Marvin Gaye und anderen, die in dieser Zeit einen Soul gespielt haben, der vielfach mehr im Jazz angelehnt war als in den poppigen, schönen und gefälligen Motown Veröffentlichungen. Die Aufnahme -live im Studio eingespielt-klingt deshalb ein wenig nach Bar Jazz, nach kleiner Bühne. Die Bläsersätze schaffen Gänsehaut, allen vorweg Nils Landgren an der Posaune und Saxophonist Tore Brunborg, die den ECM Touch einbringen. Die Rhythmusgruppe ist perfekt. Das Sextett: Manu Katche: drums, vocals; Ellen Andrea Wang: upright bass, vocals; Jim (James) Watson: acoustic piano, keyboards; Tore Brunborg: saxophones; Luca Aquino: trumpet; Nils Landgren: trombone (1, 2, 7, 11);Abraham Rodriguez Mansfarroll: percussion (1);Joel Hierrezuelo Balart: percussion (1); Inor Esteban Sotolongo: percussion (1). Fourplay | das leichte Heavy Weight Wenn eine Formation das 25. Jahr ihres Bestehens feiern kann und darüber hinaus als eine der perfektesten im temporären Jazz gilt, dann zählt sie zweifellos zu den musikalischen Schwergewichten. Zeichnet sich das gesamte Repertoire, derzeit auf über 14 Alben veröffentlicht, durch eine sagenhafte Leichtigkeit aus, dann sprechen wir von Fourplay.

    DMA – TMUS 8329 Major Project (4–6 cr.)* Guidelines for Recording Project In addition to the normal requirements of a recital, it is expected that the student will become involved in all aspects of the recording, in effect acting as producer from start to finish. Before undertaking the Recording Project: the student must submit a prospectus that is reviewed and approved by the faculty advisory committee and the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. A copy of the prospectus must be kept in the student’s file. For a recording to fulfill the requirement, it must adhere to the following criteria. 1. Be comparable in length to a recital. 2. The student is responsible for coordinating all matters pertaining to the recording including: contracting of musicians, studio manager and recording engineer; CD printing or duplication, graphic art design layout, and recording label (optional). 3. The recording must be unique in some way that sets it apart from other recordings. Examples can include but are not limited to recordings that feature: original compositions and/or arrangements, collections of works that are less known and/or have not been readily available in recordings, and so on. This aspect of the project should reflect the student’s creativity and research skills. 4. The submitted recording must be of professional quality. 5. Post-recording work is an essential aspect of the project. The student must oversee the editing, mixing, and (optionally) the mastering of the recording.

  • How Does Binaural Audio Mixed for Headphones Translate to Loudspeaker Setups in Terms of Listener Preferences?
    How does binaural audio mixed for headphones translate to loudspeaker setups in terms of listener preferences? Ian Eiderbo Audio Technology, bachelor's level 2021 Luleå University of Technology Department of Social Sciences, Technology and Arts How does binaural audio mixed for headphones translate to loudspeaker setups in terms of listener preferences? 2 Abstract While most of today’s music listening is being done through headphones, mixing techniques using binaural audio are still not widely implemented in modern music production. This study aims to help inform mixing engineers on the applicability of binaural processing for music production, with the specific focus on how binaurally processed audio translates to loudspeakers in terms of listener preference. In this study a listening test was performed where binaurally processed mixes where given preference ratings in relation to a reference mix. Each listener completed the test twice, once using headphones and once using loudspeakers. The test results for the two playback systems were then compared. Only one of 12 mixes showed a significant difference in preference ratings with playback system as the factor, but the reported ratings showed a large disagreement among the 13 test subjects. The results from the study are inconclusive, however they do not suggest that the binaural processing used for the stimuli suffers in terms of listener preference when played back over loudspeakers. 3 Table of contents How does binaural audio mixed for headphones translate to loudspeaker setups in
