USA Science and Engineering Festival Commercial

I scored this commercial for the USA Science and Engineering Festival. This project required a simple emotional sonic landscape, building a sense of wonder at some of science’s great achievements. For this, I used a palette of string orchestra, piano, and light percussion, and featured a solo violin to heighten the recapitulation.

This track will soon be available for purchase and licensing in the Music Catalog.

Help: trying to resuscitate a 2011-era MacBook Air. Charger shows green. Hitting the power button shows minimal charge. Already tried resetting PMC and PRAM. What else is there to do?

Why is AI trying to sing before it can do my taxes? Surely there is more money to be saved/made in replacing our accountants before our artists?!

This is promising and a good first step, but there’s so much more to do. And many loopholes ahead.

Wow. A treasure trove of lost #MarvinGaye material, which poses some interesting legal questions:

I received this in an email from @SheetMusicDir and I can’t decide whether I’m a little offended they had to include the footnote.
