Mask 1 shows its face: new 'bitmasking' polyphonic digital synth exhibited in public for the first time – MusicRadar

What’s the story behind Kodamo’s new keyboard?
Previously known (albeit not very widely) for its EssenceFM synth, Kodamo has now taken the wraps off the Mask 1, a new polysynth that uses the company’s ‘bitmask’ synthesis technique.
We don’t have a great deal to go on at this point – the instrument made its debut at SoundMIT 22 (opens in new tab), which took place last weekend – but Synth Anatomy (opens in new tab) reports that Mask 1 is a 10-voice polyphonic synth that’s powered by two oscillators (each with 200 built-in waveforms), a noise generator and a 12-state variable filter.
Apparently, the so-called bitmasking technique works by splitting a sine wave into multiple parts which are then rearranged in different ways, the theory being that this will enable you to create both classic and entirely new sounds.
Other features of the Mask 1 include seven envelopes per voice, two LFOs and 15 modulation destinations. Control comes via a 61-note Fatar keyboard that responds to velocity and aftertouch.
The rest of the interface is cryptic to say the least, with lots of mechanical keyboard-style buttons and just a small display.

Samsung Galaxy S22 update brings Android 13 and One UI 5.0 – 9to5Google

October 24

Samsung has begun rolling out the official Android 13 update to owners of the Galaxy S22, bringing the full suite of One UI 5.0 changes.

Android 13 was officially released, starting on Google’s Pixel phones, on August 15, and just days before that launch, Samsung began beta testing the new changes on their Galaxy series phones. After over two months in beta, as spotted by SamMobile, Samsung is now rolling out the full, stable Android 13 release with One UI 5.0, starting with the Galaxy S22 series.
Related: Samsung will update these Galaxy devices to Android 13; here’s the schedule
The rollout seems to have initially been limited to Exynos variants of the Galaxy S22 in South Korea and across Europe. According to multiple reports, the update has since begun rolling out in the US, including through carriers like Verizon.
To get fans acclimated with the new update and all of the hottest features of One UI 5.0, Samsung has released an official “Introduction Film” highlighting what’s changed. Samsung’s Android 13 and One UI 5.0 video, of course, kicks off with the new lock screen customization, meant to help the Galaxy S22 compete with what Apple brought to iOS 16. Another familiar feature from the iPhone series is the introduction of “Modes,” which quickly set your sound and notification settings to suit your daily activities.

Going beyond matching the iPhone’s feature set, Samsung’s lock screen options allow you to use a video wallpaper or change the artwork periodically. Just like it did for the Pixel series, the Android 13 update for Samsung Galaxy phones gives you multiple vibrant theme options generated from your current wallpaper.
Continuing the theme of customization, Samsung also showcases a new way to “stack” widgets on your homescreen, making them easily scrollable. You can even deeply customize your Galaxy Watch with the Watch Face Studio.
In changes that are less exciting but still quite useful, Samsung’s Android 13 and One UI 5.0 update combines privacy and security settings into one hub. This security and privacy dashboard is designed to be easily read and understood, making it easier to be sure you’re safe in the digital world.
For more on what’s new in the One UI 5.0 update with Android 13, across the Galaxy S22 and the rest of Samsung’s lineup, check out our video from the original beta.

StreamStudios, new Downtown Kenosha music and podcast production studio, to hold grand opening Saturday – Kenosha News

Subscribe to our Daily Headlines newsletter.
StreamStudios, 4211 43rd St., a locally owned and operated music production and podcast studio, will host its grand opening Saturday starting at noon.
The community-focused event, which ends at 2 p.m., will feature local, live entertainment, prizes and food from Ruffolo’s catering. It will also showcase StreamStudios’ state-of-the-art digital recording studio.
Community members are welcome to test drive the new technology and instruments, including touch screen recording console, microphones, guitars and more.
Co-owner Joshua Stephany said it was a first-of-its-kind recording and production space for Southeast Wisconsin, offering music production and recording, mixing, mastering, voiceover work and more.
“We are so excited to launch,” Stephany said. “We want this to not just be a place for people to come and record, but a free, safe space to share musical ideas, and to learn and grow as a community. We really believe this is the start of something different.”
Stephany and co-founder Lucas Webb have 30 years of music experience from hip-hop and rock to classical and musical theater. Both are area natives. They hope to begin an internship program and offer free workshops for local high schools and tech colleges to offer opportunities that weren’t available when they grew up.
“I wish there were opportunities to learn from professionals when I was a kid, as these aren’t subjects that are taught in local schools,” Webb said. “By joining together as a community, we can provide programs and opportunities to young people who are really interested in music production and other facets of the production world.”

Artlist Set to Launch Artlist Max, an Industry-Disruptive All-in-One Platform (Sponsored Post) – Filmmaker Magazine

Filmmaker Magazine’s fall 2022 issue, with the annual 25 New Faces of Film list, Amy Taubin interviewing Laura Poitras about “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” and more.

[Tel Aviv, Israel, November 15, 2022] – Artlist, the industry-leading creative technology company, announced the consolidation of its services under one ultimate creative bundle that provides creators with music, sound effects, stock footage, templates, plugins and editing software.
Since its founding in 2016 as a music licensing company, Artlist has continuously worked to expand its catalogs and services. The first expansion move was to launch the stock footage site Artgrid in the spring of 2019. In 2020, they released a vast catalog of high-quality sound effects. The third move was the acquisition of digital assets marketplace Motion Array, and the end of the year saw another major addition: purchasing FXhome, a cutting-edge video, VFX and image editing software company.
The announced move aims to establish an empowering and user-friendly platform where creators of all levels can use high-quality assets and cutting-edge editing software to create pro-level videos, saving a lot of time and money along the way.
As part of the new Artlist, creators will have various bundles and plans to choose from according to their needs:
The new bundle will include unlimited access to:
Creators choosing the Artlist Max bundle will be able to choose between the following plans:
This plan covers creators’ personal social channels, including:
Creators will be able to link one channel from each social media platform, and the content they publish on these platforms will be cleared from copyright and monetizable as long as it’s used organically.
This license also comes with the Hitfilm Creator editing software license, designed for advanced video editors.
This plan will come with the Artlist Pro License, which covers all types of videos and online platforms, Including:
This license also comes with the Hitfilm Pro editing software license, a plan that includes advanced 3D & VFX editing tools.
Creators with the Max Pro plan will have the option to upgrade their footage subscription to get RAW/LOG footage. (With an extra of $19.92/month)
Artlist Max Team subscribers will receive everything in Max Pro, and:
For custom-made solutions, and/or for organizations of 100+ employees. The enterprise license includes everything in Max Pro, and:
The Max bundle is the first of many more innovations to come. The ultimate goal is to create a multi-asset search experience that is connected to the users’ preferred editing software and enables an ideal, streamlined process of video creation.
Creators who are looking for specific assets will still be able to purchase the existing subscriptions, such as music & SFX, stock footage and video templates (as part of the footage subscription).
“Our goal has always been to build a supportive space for creators, where they have all the tools and assets they need for creating the best content they can,” said Artlist co-founder and co-CEO Ira Belsky. “With innovative editing tools and so many high-quality digital assets at their fingertips, creators will now only be limited by their own creativity.”
“Seeing all our different services come together under one roof is sort of a dream come true,” said Artlist co-founder and co-CEO Itzik Elbaz. “We started by revolutionizing the licensing industry with our subscription-based model, and at this point, we feel like we are on the cusp of becoming the ultimate 360° solution for creators.”
About Artlist
Artlist was founded in 2016 by Ira Belsky, Itzik Elbaz, Eyal Raz and Assaf Ayalon as a music platform giving video content creators access to royalty-free music. Today, Artlist is a leading creative technology company with products that provide content creators with editing software tools and over 820K digital assets.

Trevanna Tracks and Soundmouse Join Forces to Streamline Sync Licensing and Reporting – Yahoo Finance

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Trevanna Tracks, the industry standard in sync licensing software, announces an integration with Soundmouse, the long-standing leader in music and cue sheet reporting, which enables users to seamlessly move song metadata, including splits and usage, from Trevanna to Soundmouse, generating accurate cue sheets with ease.
“Trevanna’s data and documents give production teams everything needed to air a synced song, but it doesn’t take the next step to ensure ongoing downstream payments. This process was brilliantly sorted by Soundmouse,” explains Jennifer Freed, founder and CEO of Trevanna Tracks. “We respect the Soundmouse team, they have extraordinary technology, strong relationships with the PROs, and a complementary client base. When we were introduced to Soundmouse, we knew a partnership would solve that last stage in the process.”
“We’re thrilled to work with Trevanna Tracks to bring more value to our users,” says Mark Vermaat, Soundmouse’s Head of Business Development. “We share a dedication to creating a more efficient way for broadcasters and studios to manage sync and administrative tasks. This partnership enables collaboration between music supervisors and editors, saves time, and significantly lessens the margin for error in reporting royalties.”
Trevanna Tracks’ workflow starts at the beginning of the research and clearance process. The platform keeps track of negotiations, rights holders, splits, usage, executed contracts and proofs of payment. Soundmouse picks up from there, managing cue sheets and metadata as it connects all stakeholders in the reporting process: broadcasters, producers, collecting societies, distributors, and, of course, music creators.
The integration will allow Trevanna users to directly download a cue sheet file with complete licensing data, prepared for a direct upload to Soundmouse. Soundmouse users, be they music supervisors or music editors, will have the ability to upload the file directly into Soundmouse and make any further amendments, eliminating the need to re-enter data.
“With the ever-increasing amount of visual content and the growing complexity of sync music licenses, we strive to make the organization and administration less onerous for music teams,” Freed reflects. “When technology enables collaboration and effortless delivery of essential information, it’s a huge step forward.”
About Trevanna Tracks
Trevanna Tracks is a subscription-based software designed by entertainment industry professionals to streamline the process of clearing and licensing music for film, television, video games, and marketing assets. Woman-owned, and women-run, Trevanna Tracks is an intuitive, centralized, and secure platform so multiple departments can stay efficient and accurate at every step.
About Soundmouse
Soundmouse is an independent media technology company that specializes in music cue sheet reporting and audio recognition services. The global standard for cue sheet and music reporting around the world, Soundmouse connects all stakeholders in the reporting process: broadcasters, studios, independent producers, PROs, distributors, program makers, and, of course, music creators.

Descript: an app to reinvent the video editor by Jose Antunes – ProVideo Coalition – ProVideo Coalition

It’s probably not the NLE of choice for professionals, but Descript points towards other type of users, aiming to make video a staple of every communicator’s toolkit, alongside docs and slides.
Descript: an app to reinvent the video editorDescript, the simple, powerful, full-workflow video and audio editor, launches its biggest product update ever, as it promises to make editing video as easy as editing a doc or slides.
Video editing is not just something professional video editors do to create Hollywood blockbusters, documentaries or any other video editable product. As even smartphone cameras allow users to capture video, everybody wants to edit those moving images. Faced with NLEs that require some learning, many search for tools that make the process easier, and that’s where Descript comes in.
Founded by Groupon co-founder Andrew Mason in San Francisco in 2017, Descript is a new kind of video editor that’s, the company says, “ is as easy as a doc. With tons of cool AI-powered features built into an intuitive interface, Descript powers YouTube and TikTok channels, top podcasts, and businesses using video for marketing, sales, internal training and collaboration. Descript aims to make video a staple of every communicator’s toolkit, alongside docs and slides.”

Here are two quotes from Descript users that suggest what the tool is for:
“When it comes to my content, I challenge myself to create the most compelling and concise storyline. Descript is the first software that feels like a partner and not just a tool,” said Jules Terpak, video-first content creator and Descript user. “The breadth of media Descript provides complements and simplifies my workflow. Instead of having 20 tabs open when creating my video, I now have a powerful single source to rely on.”
“Working for a company with a heavy presence in the social media space, it has been great to find a tool to help our videos feel more native to social platforms,” said Rachel Klein, Executive Producer at theSkimm. “The new Descript also helped turn non-editors into full blown creators, opening the door to more experimentation and creativity.”
Now, Descript is getting even bigger. The company just announced a $50 million Series C round led by OpenAI Startup Fund to support and accelerate AI integration into creativity. Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, Spark Capital and Daniel Gross also participated in the round. Descript’s new $50 million raise brings the company’s total funding to $100 million, and with it, brings the ability to amplify the implementation of AI to marry video, images and text into a new way of creating content.
“We started the OpenAI Startup Fund to accelerate the impact companies building on powerful AI will have on the world, and we’re particularly excited about tools that empower people creatively,” said Brad Lightcap, OpenAI’s COO and manager of the OpenAI Startup Fund. “It’s clear from using Descript and talking to customers that Descript is breaking down barriers between idea and creation by extending video editing capabilities to an entirely new class of creators.”
It’s not just about money, though. Descript has a new version, and the redesigned app comes packed with more than 30 new visual and AI-powered editing features, promising to make editing video as easy as editing a doc or slides.
For too long, creators have been faced with a choice: make video using simple tools with limited capabilities, or spend months if not years learning complex legacy tools that require extensive training. Descript removes these barriers, equipping creators and communicators with a single intuitive tool that’s also a fully-powered end-to-end production app.
“The stage is set for video to take its place alongside text as something everyone uses to create and communicate — the only things holding it back are the tools,” said Andrew Mason, CEO of Descript. “With the new Descript, we’ve replaced the drudgery of timeline editing with a tool that’s as familiar as the word processor — so you can make, edit, and share video without breaking your creative flow.”
Descript’s new editing magic starts with Scenes – a visual method for making video that’s as intuitive as making a slideshow. Scenes complement and compound the power of Descript’s core transcription-based editor, which already revolutionized podcast editing. Descript’s adaptability allows any creator, in any type of workflow, to create anything from a simple screen recording to a sophisticated narrative with multiple layers of video, b-roll, audio, with video and audio effects, transitions, and everything else they’d get from a more complicated legacy tool.
In addition to a complete redesign around scenes, Descript is launching over 30 powerful new features, including:
The core features, functionality and magic Descript is known and loved for all remain – including Overdub, Studio Sound, automatic filler word removal, easy social video clips, subtitles, screen and webcam recording, exporting & publishing, and collaboration.
The new version of Descript is available to download at www.descript.com.

Randburg’s DJ Chase dedicates his life to music – Randburg Sun

Randburg’s DJ Chase is a music producer, Songwriter, music instructor and House DJ who continues to live and dedicates his life to music.
Matibisi “DJ Chase” Ntshwana grew up in Lebowakgomo, Limpopo and this is where his love for, and journey with music began.
DJ Chase said, “That’s where everything started for me, I’ve always loved singing other people’s songs, I would sing people’s melodies and if I don’t know the lyrics, I would put my own that is where I developed my style of songwriting. Eventually, I picked up an instrument to compose and the first instrument was the guitar, and I informally went to study classical piano for two years.”
DJ Chase went on to pursue his dream and enrolled at the National School of the Arts (NSA) and studied contemporary music and majored in Piano/ Keyboard.
He explained that he formed a band when he was still at school, but he realised the amount of time and energy it took to motivate and keep the band in the same mindset was too much and he decided to take on production.
“As a songwriter and instrument player, I was able to execute the whole song on my own from beginning to end. The last year at NSA I got an opportunity of working with Kabelo “Bouga Luv” Mabalane from TKZEE who gave me a chance to produce his project called Amatsheketshe,” added DJ Chase
DJ Chase continued his journey and worked with DJ Ganyani where he produced and wrote some of the big songs like Xigubhu one of the big songs to come out in 2014, Be There featured Big NUZ and Emazulwini.
The famous DJ now shares his experience and knowledge by teaching at Volume Music Academy. The school situated in Braamfontein opens on weekends and they have a studio in Ferndale, Randburg.
“We train learners to compose and produce by teaching them keyboard technique, music theory, the digital audio software that allows them to record and program music, Deejaying, and Sound engineering. I saw a gap where I could transfer the knowledge to upcoming artists,” said DJ Chase
DJ Chase added that they create a platform where students are able to network with industry experts and other musicians and they organise workshops and invite experienced musicians and other industry experts to share their knowledge with the students.
The sensational DJ is currently working on an EP in collaboration with (South African Music Performance Rights Association) SAMPRA and it will feature some of Volume Academy Students. It is expected to come out in 2023.
DJ Chase advises up-and-coming artists to put time into their craft and that the more they create the better they will get.

Will understanding tough empathy help build your business? – Elite Business Magazine

How to do it right
Are you bombarded with information about the importance of emotional intelligence quotient (EQ)? There’s substantial research showing that people who are successful in a holistic way—not just at making money—have high emotional intelligence. In fact, research shows that your EI/EQ level is a much better indicator of professional success than your Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
In our post pandemic world, we’re flooded with info about improving the well-being of staff. So, do you have to be overflowing with empathy to be a great manager? No, you need to understand why a little toughness in balance with empathy is the way to attract great people, keep and motivate them. 
Empathy is defined as “The psychological identification with or vicarious experiencing of the emotions, thoughts, or attitudes of another: [as in] She put an arm around her friend’s shoulders and stood by her in silent empathy.”2     
Empathy is not sympathy. Sympathy is feeling sorry for someone, “Too bad you’re going through that”—but to remain emotionally aloof from their situation. 
Empathy is thinking, “How must it feel to go through that?”—to try and put yourself in that other person’s shoes, to understand their situation from their perspective.  Truly feeling empathy for another makes them feel valued. To be valued and heard is what most of want in human interaction of any kind.
How do leaders get tough empathy wrong?
In the context of a professional environment, tough empathy balances the business needs of the organization with the personal needs of the employees. 
Every business has goals, procedures, policies and to find success and must generally meet those goals or exceed them.  Quality organizations recognize their people are vital to meeting those goals and try to create an environment where people feel valued enough to flourish but at the same time make it clear that goals must be met. The perfect combination results in people performing at peak efficiency.  A little pressure can go a long way in balancing empathy to get the equilibrium right. 
We’ve all heard stories of supervisors or managers who are absolute taskmasters: “I don’t care about your personal problems; I’m only interested in results”.  Those managers are so focused on the end result and the bottom line that they lose their humanity, at least as far as the well-being of co-workers is concerned. 
On the flip side, some supervisors or managers are pushovers. They’re so empathetic, they listen to everybody’s problems, but the finish line stays in the distant future because they stop workflow with too much attention to the personal care of the staff.  Good managers have boundaries and expression of care, even if they at times, must say, “It is unfortunate you’re having this problem but right now we have to meet this deadline, so I am asking you to give me some time to get back to you on it.” 
“Tough empathy” is the sweet spot between the two. A supervisor or manager who understands this concept is probably also a high EQ individual and might say, “My team is like family, I care about what happens to you. I know you have lives outside the office, and I respect those other obligations. However, we still have to hit our goals.” That supervisor will build a safety net into their organizational procedures and policies so that, if one employee “fails” the rest of the team can step in, fill the gap and get the job done while helping that teammate deal with their situation. 
In its simplest form, it’s about balance and creating a cohesive, mutually supportive business team. 
Finding the Balance
How does a person find that balance, personally or in business? It requires a lot of introspection. You can start by setting aside some time and asking yourself some questions: 
Emotional Intelligence assessments are easy to find online, quick to do, affordable and might change your chances of success substantially for the better.  
EI/EQ doesn’t mean giving too much of yourself. It is the awareness of how you react to others and how you see co-workers as feeling and thinking people. Effective leaders allow themselves to be emotional privately. They process it, then come back and give the public their best selves, communicating constructively and listening more than talking. You can be the tough empathy leader who bring that sweet spot to the team.

El Hito Target at Condor
Orquideas
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Luminex Resources Corp. (TSXV: LR) (OTCQX: LUMIF) (the “Company” or “Luminex”) is pleased to announce results from four drill holes, totalling 2,418 metres at its El Hito porphyry prospect, located in the central area of Luminex’s Condor project. Luminex is also pleased to report the drill results from five holes totalling 2,386 metres at its Orquideas project, where JOGMEC is earning into 70% ownership.

All four drill holes cut significant intervals of copper mineralization, including 627 metres grading 0.20% copper and 42 ppm molybdenum for a copper equivalent grade of 0.21% in EH22-03. Most of the copper and molybdenum mineralization is hosted in phyllic-altered quartz-diorite porphyry. These rocks were intersected as drill holes probed for the potassic core of the porphyry copper-molybdenum system, where higher grades may be expected. A compilation of the data suggests that the potassic core may well be located below the base of the current drilling, or possibly to the north or northeast, where copper and molybdenum rock and soil anomalies have not yet been drilled. The molybdenum-only rock and soil anomaly to the northeast of the drilled area may also be indicative of another porphyry centre in this area (Figure 1).

Intervals are calculated using a lower limit of 0.10% Cu and minimum length of 10 metres with a maximum inclusion of up to six continuous metres below cut-off. The highest copper value used in the reported weighted averages is 1.63 % Cu. Cu Eq values assume $3.00 copper and $7.00 molybdenum (Cu Eq= Cu % + (Mo ppm *2.33). Equivalent values assume 100% recoveries for all metals.
Detailed geological and geophysical work in the area shows additional porphyry copper and associated systems could lie further north in the Wanwintza Alto area, where porphyry-style, high-level, siliceous alteration is present. Another porphyry copper centre has also been identified via geological mapping, grid soil sampling and geophysical magnetic surveying at Prometedor Copper (Figure 2). As at El Hito, the Prometedor Copper porphyry centre is marked by a low magnetic signature.
The extensive gold-in-soil anomaly identified at the drill-ready Prometedor Gold target appears to be a distal, structurally controlled, precious-metal system related to the Prometedor Copper porphyry centre (Figure 3). The gold target is being readied for initial drill testing.
During 2022, Luminex and JOGMEC drilled 2,386 metres in five holes, testing a diverse set of geochemical and geophysical targets across the large Orquideas property. While the results were mixed, these holes and previous exploration drilling on the property have highlighted multiple areas warranting future exploration. JOGMEC is planning a follow-up drilling campaign in 2023.
The best results from the 2022 program came from the third hole, ORQ22-03, which cut 300 metres of continuous copper and molybdenum mineralization averaging 0.17% Cu Eq. This mineralization is hosted in an alteration assemblage (phyllic) known to flank copper porphyry deposits. In addition, a series of outcrops with consistent anomalous copper values, above 0.1% copper, have recently been found through sampling in close proximity to these holes. These discoveries provide compelling targets for follow-up drilling for higher grades potentially associated with a porphyry centre.
Other areas with strong geochemical signatures for copper and molybdenum, particularly in the southern portion of the project area (see Figure 4), may offer additional drill targets. ORQD002, drilled during an earlier campaign in 2019, cut an aggregate 132 metres averaging 0.18% Cu Eq hosted in phyllic alteration potentially indicating proximity to a second porphyry centre. Other short higher-grade intercepts from the 2019 and 2022 programs (ORQD003 and ORQ22-01) require further study to determine if additional drilling is warranted.

New data reveals how central music scene is to NI economy – Belfast News Letter

Countdown is the UK's most popular game show

NI’s music sector doubles in 10 years but faces challnges from pandemic and cost of living crisis
New data just released has demonstrated the economic importance of music to Northern Ireland.
Figures published ahead of Wednesday’s Music Cities event and the NI Music Prize show that, in 2019, the music sector in NI contributed almost £345 million to the economy and accounted for almost 6,500 jobs.
Delving deeper, the direct music sector (comprising activities strictly within the commercial music sector) contributed £115 million in gross value (“GVA”) and 3,600 jobs, having almost doubled since the last economic study in 2013, when the figures were £61.5 million and 1,900 respectively.
Music creators (songwriters, musicians, performers and producers) and live music are the lifeblood of the NI musical ecosystem, altogether accounting for more than 75% of the sector’s overall GVA.
Music creators represent two thirds (2,189) of all those working directly in the sector, underlining the strength of the music scene’s overall contribution.
The study was commissioned by Fourth Pillar and supported by Northern Ireland Screen with funding provided by the Department for Communities, and the research was independently conducted by leading economists, Metro Dynamics.
Commenting on the figures, Charlotte Dryden – CEO at the Oh Yeah Music Centre – said: “The publication of these figures represents an important step in educating policy makers on the vital role that music plays in supporting the NI economy. Music is more than a hobby or a ‘nice to have’; it provides jobs for thousands of employed and freelance staff across the region, from artist managers, record producers and music technology companies through to individuals working in talent development roles, as we do at Oh Yeah. Collectively, we are not just a rich community asset, but an economic keystone. At our Music Cities afternoon and the NI Music Prize, we will be celebrating all of those who work in our sector, including the behind-the-scenes champions of creativity and innovation.”

Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody added: “As the sector takes to the stage on Wednesday to celebrate the immense wealth of creative talent in Northern Ireland, this report acknowledges the invaluable contribution of professionals who work tirelessly to support musicians, creators and performers like myself. I’m excited by the potential and power that music has for our nation – it is there to uplift and connect communities, especially during challenging moments like these, but it is also there to provide jobs, support livelihoods and strengthen our economic credentials. We have the talent, we have the expertise, and we have the drive to succeed; now, we need the recognition and support of our political and business leaders to help us build on our success in the months and years ahead.”
In the context of the wider NI economy, in 2019 music was responsible for more direct employees (3,621) than the TV and Video Production and Programming and Broadcasting sectors combined (2,574). In the same year in Belfast, the first city in Ireland to be awarded the prestigious UNESCO City of Music title, music accounted for 1,781 jobs, with live music accounting for 81% of all music jobs in the capital, according to the global research firm, Sound Diplomacy.
Local recording studio owner and media entrepreneur, James Ayo, of Hotbox Entertainment, added: “This report matters because it shows strongly that working in music is a real profession. We have skills and knowledge that we have worked hard to develop; we have passion for using the power of music to grow the economy and support our communities; and we have a drive to develop the sector to retain talented young people to be our next generation of business leaders. Hotbox is committed to developing its business in Belfast, having recently expanded into a second studio, and we want to see the infrastructure that supports music talent continue to grow and strengthen right across the country.”
Prior to the pandemic, concerts and festivals held in NI attracted over one million attendees each year, driving direct and indirect economic benefits across the region. In 2019, according to UK Music, 234,000 music tourists visited NI generating £81 million in tourist spend.

Beyond live music, an evolving and thriving infrastructure supports the development of creative talent, from recording studios, music managers and music retailers to music producers, music teachers and specialist lawyers and accountants. With NI now a popular filming location for broadcast content, the valuable opportunities for the production and use of music in entertainment media are growing. The business of music will be the primary focus for artists and music professionals at the popular Music Cities afternoon on Wednesday at the Oh Yeah Music Centre. Together with the local music sector, experts will explore the challenges and opportunities facing the business, from Web3 and digital rights management to the environment and NI’s night-time economy.
On behalf of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland (ACNI), Chief Executive Roisin McDonough, said: “There is no doubt that music is one of NI’s greatest strengths and these figures demonstrate the essential role it plays in supporting our economy. However, like so many sectors, music has been significantly impacted by the pandemic and the current cost of living crisis. Data recently released by ACNI shows that the arts sector as a whole faces additional costs of more than £12 million by the end of this financial year. We are working closely with the Department for Communities to drive forward the strategy for culture, arts and heritage – of which music is a core component – and to encourage greater cross-departmental working within Government with a view to protecting and nurturing this critical facet of our economy and identity.”

Friday’s loss to No. 2 Gonzaga aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln was quite important for the Michigan State basketball team. The game came to an end on a missed would-be buzzer-beater that would have won it for the Spartans, but their unrelenting schedule leaves no time to lick wounds. The Spartans next draw a matchup Tuesday with No. 4 Kentucky in the first of a Champions Classic doubleheader.
Kentucky may be without Oscar Tshiebwe, the reigning national player of the year, who is still recovering from a minor preseason procedure, but the Wildcats’ roster is far from toothless. (Err, clawless.) It is 2-0 with a top-20 scoring margin thus far this season anchored by the sharpshooting duo of Antonio Reeves and CJ Frederick.
Sparty will be its biggest test of the young season, though, and with a veteran-laden roster and a Hall of Famer vs. Hall of Famer coaching matchup, there’s sure to be plenty of storylines worth following in this one. 
Date: Tuesday, Nov. 15 | Time: 7 p.m. ET
Location: Gainbridge Fieldhouse — Indianapolis
TV: ESPN | Live stream: fuboTV (Try for free)
Injury woes for UK: Kentucky might have the highest ceiling of any team in college hoops this season, but its early season injury woes are putting a damper on its current forecast. Not only is reigning NPOY big man Oscar Tshiebwe still rehabbing, with his status questionable, but leading assist man Sahvir Wheeler may be limited — or out — due to an ongoing knee injury, too. Their absences would leave UK without its top scorer, shot-blocker, rebounder and assist man from last season.
Is sharpshooting sticky for Cats? Kentucky ranked outside the top 100 among all Division I teams last season in 3-point shooting and one of its main objectives in the offseason was to bolster its abilities on that front. Beware the small sample, but: mission accomplished maybe? UK this season in two games ranks seventh nationally, hitting 51.2% of its attempts on the season. That number is likely to fall — by 10 percentage points, maybe more — but anything around 40% would be a major upgrade over last season. 
Calipari’s dominance over MSU: John Calipari is 3-1 all-time coaching against Michigan State in a record accumulated at both Memphis and Kentucky. He was 1-0 with the Tigers (a 92-74 win in the Sweet 16 of the 2008 NCAA Tournament) and is 2-1 with the Cats — with all three of those meetings taking place in the Champions Classic. Izzo clipped Calipari in the first meeting of Cal’s UK tenure, with a 78-74 win in 2013 in what was then a No. 1 (Kentucky) vs. a No. 2 (Michigan State) matchup. But UK has won the last two meetings in both 2016 and 2019. The last matchup a then-No. 2 Kentucky downed a then-No. 1 Michigan State, 69-62.
Michigan State figures to be a trendy upset pick in this one after nearly taking down Gonzaga and drawing a matchup against a likely shorthanded Kentucky team that may be without its biggest star. But I’m taking UK to win (and MSU to cover) in this one. The talent disparity skews too heavily in Kentucky’s favor. Wildcats have good size and length and, unlike last year, appear to have quality shooters surrounding them to boot. Prediction: Michigan State +6

Developer, city praise efforts to bring almost 200 affordable units to Manchester by 2024 – Yahoo News

Nov. 14—A California-based firm specializing in affordable housing projects returns to the Manchester Planning Board later this week in hopes of securing approval for the third and final piece of plans that will bring nearly 200 units of affordable housing to the Queen City.
Lincoln Avenue Capital plans to tear down the old police station at 351 Chestnut St. and put up a five-story building with up to 110 apartments and a parking garage. A four-story building with up to 50 units will be built across Merrimack Street in what is currently a parking lot, and another building is planned for 80 Merrimack St.
"That whole block will be transformed, providing affordable housing, which is exactly what the city needs," said Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig.
The buildings will include units for tenant receiving project-based Section 8 vouchers, providing housing to those considered "extremely low income" — earning up to 30% of the area median income, said Scott Shaw, Lincoln Avenue Capital's vice president and regional project partner for New England.
"Right now, we've achieved zoning and planning board approval on two lots and the third, 80 Merrimack, we'll hear from the planning board on Thursday," said Shaw. "We're hopeful that we'll be conditionally approved. In terms of readiness, we're very fortunate we have the support of the city and the mayor."
Shaw said the number of units expected to be generated by all three projects currently sits at 192, after developers agreed to add an extra floor onto the 80 Merrimack St. building. That's 192 units of studio, one and two bedroom apartments.
"What's unique about this project, and why I support it, is 100% of the units will be affordable," Craig said. "While we know we need to support all housing, all ranges of housing throughout the city and throughout the state, by providing almost 200 affordable units, that will make a huge difference in the city of Manchester. I'm really pleased with the work Scott and his team have done, that they believe in Manchester. We're thrilled to have him here and developing this. It's a corner area of the city, and it's really exciting."
The affordable units will accommodate individuals earning up to $37,560 annually and three- or four-person households earning up to $53,580, according to Shaw.
Lincoln Avenue will make use of a variety of state and federal funding sources. In October, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to approve $3 million in federal funds to increase the number of affordable housing units in Manchester through these three projects.
The vote followed a similar Request for Proposal for $4.7 million from 2021, which funded upgrades to 101 units of housing at the NeighborWorks Elm Street Brownstones, 48 new affordable housing units at Kelley Falls through Manchester Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and the creation of 15 new supportive housing units through Waypoint and the Helping Hands Outreach Center.
Shaw said the relationship between his company and the city began with initial discussions with former director of homelessness initiatives Schonna Green.
"There's obviously an overwhelming need for affordable housing," Shaw said. "This is going to hit $18K to $59K income ranges. The teamwork with the city … I've been doing affordable development for 22 years, and I can't speak highly enough of the cross-collaborative effort that's there."
In the face of product supply and cost issues, Craig said, "we're not seeing a lot of developers who are proactively developing affordable units."
"We're tremendously grateful for what Scott and his team are doing," Craig said. "This is what their expertise is. They understand the market, they understand what they are doing — they are building quality units effectively and efficiently. There's tremendous need, and so them coming in and doing this is a win for our community."
Shaw said if all goes to plan, his firm plans to close on all three properties simultaneously in May 2023. A request for proposals for contractors is expected to be issued in the next 30 to 40 days.
Current timelines call for at least one of the buildings to possibly open by summer 2024, with all three coming online by early 2025.
"I think this is going to be a great opportunity," Shaw said. "Affordable housing revitalizes communities."
