Get It In Writing

On 11 February, the Music Producers Guild will once again honour the audio professionals whose skill and talents help shape the music that we all enjoy. Producers, engineers, mixers and remixers will all have their chance to shine as they bask in the accolades of their peers at an awards ceremony at the Café de Paris in London.

For those of you who watched the Grammy Awards on Sunday night (and apparently there were more of you this year than any year since 2004), you may have had a feeling of déjà vu when you saw virtually the same group of stars that clustered together in 2009, 2008, etc. Does this perhaps remind you — at least a little — of the 1993 film Groundhog Day? You know, like Bill Murray’s character hearing “I Got You Babe” every morning?

Now, if you happen to want to hear the same song at the same time every day, that’s fine with us. But sometimes it’s fun to let the needle find a new groove.

Perth, Australia…This city’s Northbridge district has long been known for its diversity and its nightlife. Now the area is evolving to become a family-friendly community and cultural nexus, thanks in no small part to the recently completed Northbridge Piazza, home to the city’s first Urban Screen.

Broadcasting a mix of video and interactive programming, the Piazza’s Urban Screen is part of a growing global network of outdoor big screens focused on providing multimedia and interactive content within public spaces. As media director Damien Blythe explains, the screen’s programming is designed to not just entertain, but to encourage participation and foster a sense of community.

Described as the first poll of its kind, the European Festival Awards were determined by a combination of public vote and industry jury.

Does science (objective) or art (subjective) play the more important role?
