Earlier this_year, Judge David Hunt (Australia) submitted his resignation as a permanent judge oTThlflCTY, effective 16"November 2003. 2. Article 13 bis, paragraph 2, of the Statute of the ICTY provides that, in the event of a vacancy among the permanent judges, the Secretary-General, after consulting the President of the Security Council and the President of the General Assembly, shall appoint a person who meets the qualifications for office stipulated in the Statute for the remainder of the term of office of the person whose departure or death has caused the vacancy to arise. The ICTR's Statute contains an identical provision. 3. Judge Hunt's resignation is the fifteenth casual vacancy to date at the two Tribunals. In twelve of the previous fourteen cases, the Permanent Mission of the State of nationality of the judge who resigned or died provided the Secretary-General with the name of a candidate to fill the vacancy. Once OLA had verified that the individual in question met the qualifications laid down in the Tribunal's Statute, the Secretary-General proceeded to consult the Presidents of the Council and of the Assembly with regard to the appointment of that individual. 4. The Australian Mission having informally indicated to us that it intended to suggest a replacement for Judge Hunt, Mr. Zacklin suggested, in a Note to Mr. Sise dated 4 September 2003, that this practice should be followed in the present case also (assuming, of course, that the suggested replacement proved suitable). Mr. Sise then informed us of your concurrence. 5. The Prime Minister of Australia has now written to you suggesting Mr. Kevin Horace Parker (Australia) as a replacement for Judge Hunt. Please find attached his curriculum vitae. It is our view that he meets the qualifications laid down in the ICTY's Statute. 6.

  • Examensuppsats På Kandidatnivå Nedskalad Truminspelning Med Ett Stort Sound
    ! Examensuppsats på kandidatnivå Nedskalad truminspelning med ett stort sound Om Kevin Parker och hans sätt att producera trummor Författare: Andreas Troedsson Handledare: Berk Sirman Seminarieexaminator: Thomas Von Wachenfeldt Formell kursexaminator: Thomas Florén Ämne/huvudområde: Ljud- och musikproduktion Kurskod: LP2005 Ljudproduktion, fördjupningskurs Poäng: 30 hp Examinationsdatum: 2017-01-13 Jag/vi medger publicering i fulltext (fritt tillgänglig på nätet, open access): Ja Abstract Producenten Kevin Parker har onekligen fått igenkänning för sitt trumsound. Som huvudsaklig låtskrivare och producent i rockbandet Tame Impala har han skapat sig ett ”signature sound”. Eftersom många gillar hur Parkers trummor låter har det förts långa diskussioner angående produktionsprocessen. Uppsatsen ämnade att ta reda på hur Parkers produktion sett ut och vilka ljudliga artefakter det är som utgör hans sound. Resultatet visar på en väldigt nedskalad inspelning. Ofta med ett enkelt vintage-trumkit och tre till fyra mikrofoner, dämpade skinn samt en hel del kompression och distorsion. Soundet kan beskrivas som väldigt energiskt, mycket tack vare just hård kompression och distorsion. Parkers sound känns igen även utanför Tame Impala. Trummorna upplevs i många fall som mycket mer än bara ett rytminstrument. Uppsatsen förklarar hur okonventionella produktionsprocesser kan ge upphov till originella ljudliga karaktärer, vilket i slutändan kan anses en positiv konsekvens. Keywords Kevin Parker, Tame Impala, producent, inspelning, trummor, musikanalys. Innehållsförteckning

It’s really difficult to do that with guitars, recluse, Kevin Parker is a pretty friendly guy. Or in the studio, but no one seems to consider it because whatever you do with a guitar, it’s usually at least that’s the impression the frontman for that. Everything I’ve read has just been ‘Tame going to end up sounding like a guitar.

After all, he does live songs, so they assume it’s a band, but it’s totally to have this whole new playing field of sounds and in Perth, Australia, which has been described as not.

  • Uptown Special, the Fourth Album by Producer-Songwriter-Musician Mark
    MARK RONSON’s UPTOWN SPECIAL- Nelson George, November 2014 Uptown Special, the fourth album by producer-songwriter-musician Mark Ronson, is a tale of several cities, a wide range of collaborators, and a road trip deep into the American South. However the story of Ronson’s latest project really starts back when he was New York’s hottest DJ.In the late 1990s into the early 2000s the New York club scene was percolating with booming hip-hop and glitzy R&B. In those days before he emerged as a multi-talented musical force Ronson manned the turntables of many great parties. “It was a fun time to be playing music,” he says. “At clubs like Cheetah you didn’t have to play a hip hop record until 1a.m. You could play early ‘80s classics by Chaka Khan, Boz Scaggs and Michael Jackson and rock the crowd. I’d play Steely Dan’s ‘Black Cow’ at 11:30 and it world work. Then, at 1am you’d play ‘Hypnotize’ by Biggie and the crowd would go wild. I come back to those memories.” This mix of vintage R&B and pop with contemporary hip-hop is what made Ronson a star DJ. “I never get tired of hearing records like Earth, Wind & Fire’s ‘Can’t Hide Love’ next to 'Rock the Boat' by Aaliyah,” says Ronson. “I wanted this record to feel like hearing that kind of musical mix on great New York club night.” Uptown Special has all of the flavor of a night with Mark rocking the ones and twos with funk, soul, and psychedelic pop in a style that echoes classic productions by Quincy Jones and Steely Dan, and funneled through its creators sophisticated understanding of arrangement and melody.
