This prestige is above all due to the quality of the films, the creativity of the artists, the fighting spirit of the professionals and the enthusiasm of the press. Cannes is a collective good that each of us, wherever we are and in our own individual way, builds stone by stone, year after year. It’s through never ceasing to question, through constantly evolving, and through inviting criticism, that we do it the most good. Although solidly rooted in its own history, Cannes is always open to newness. That which is dissimilar to it enriches it: and this is why this festival is our festival.

If you're new to producing, it will be a great opportunity for you to learn where the industry is at now. If you're more seasoned, it will be great for you to have access to those who place music on records, films, video games, and on tv. And if you are looking to step up on some of your production or engineering techniques, our specialized workshops wil help you in that area. If you DO MUSIC and aren't limited to 'urban' 'pop', or any other label that doesn't really exist anymore, then the conference is the place for you. Our 8yh Annual Producers Conference will encourage professional growth and creative enrichment for those who love to produce music in general. We'll kick it and have a good time too, but if you JUST want to party and hang out with celebrities, then your money is probably better spent somewhere else, ya dig?

Contemporary work on music and emotion is happening in fields as diverse as aesthetics, psychology, sonic arts, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and neuroscience. Ironically, the subject is relatively neglected by music theory itself. This conference organised by the Society for Music Analysis brings together international experts in all these disciplines within a single forum to analyse and theorise ways in which emotion is encoded, mediated and unfolded by musical sounds and structures; and how musical emotion is measured, modelled and conceptualised.

Rolling Stone was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann Wenner (who is still editor and publisher) and music critic Ralph J. Gleason. The magazine was known for its political coverage beginning in the 1970s, with the enigmatic and controversial gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Rolling Stone Magazine changed its format in the 1990s to appeal to younger readers,[3] often focusing on young television or film actors and pop music. This led to criticism that the magazine was emphasizing style over substance.[4] In recent years, the magazine has resumed its traditional mix of content, including in-depth political stories, and has seen circulation rise. With a magazing like Rolling Stone, readers get a little taste of everything each month.

From that day to the present day, the Zildjian mystique has captivated musicians and music lovers alike. The secret method for blending metals survives to carry the celebrated “Zildjian Sound" into the present day and beyond. It takes so much more than merely crafting cymbals, drumsticks and mallets to fulfill the dreams and desires of drummers around the globe. It takes passion and dedication. Two things we have known for centuries.

The "core" technology and content started as a project within Vulcan, Inc., Paul G. Allen's multi-faceted parent company. Initially, it was a search engine designed to manage an extensive collection of loop libraries, solving the real-world needs of those who manage the recording facilities there. But developers quickly wanted other features that would make it easier to create incredible drum tracks. DrumCore has since grown to include some of those features, such as: brilliant content by some of the world's best drummers; export capabilities to audio workstation software; a MIDI drum module and ReWire support for easier integration with other applications and audio hardware. All this was designed to make it easier to get a groove happening so you can concentrate on music instead of fiddling with your computer.
