Herd.fm Launches Music App to Fix Sharing and Discovery on the Mobile Platform

Herd.fm Launches Music App to Fix Sharing and Discovery on the Mobile Platform











Toronto (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

Herd.fm (https://www.herd.fm/) has launched an iPhone app that promises to be the new standard for music sharing and discovery on mobile devices. As phones have become the heart of a person’s music collection, the ability to share songs with others has remained difficult. The new Herd.fm is customized for mobile devices and provides a user-friendly, streamlined experience that makes connecting people through meaningful songs and playlists simple and fun.

Herd.fm reads a music fan’s iTunes listening history and Facebook sharing activity for a dual purpose: to display a snapshot of recent favorites and as a basis for intelligent music recommendations from Last.fm’s API and Herd.fm’s proprietary algorithm. This enables users to share the music that’s most popular with them at the moment or to manually select songs from their iTunes for customized “mini-mixes” that can be shared as easily as texting. Every time a user shares a song or mini-mix to a friend, Facebook or Twitter through Herd.fm, they’re rewarded with an instant and relevant music recommendation to their iPhone. Integration of the SoundCloud and YouTube APIs lets them stream these songs in full without leaving the app, making relevant music discovery hassle-free. Herd.fm also enhances music discovery by showing artist tour dates via Songkick’s concert API and enables song purchases through iTunes. Herd.fm has taken the best of many worlds to create a cohesive mobile music experience. Try it at http://itunes.apple.com/kz/app/herd.fm/id421452783?mt=8.

Herd.fm also uses the phone’s geo-location capability to visualize a user’s musical influence with its patent-pending feature called a “Trak Journey.” Share a song on the app and Herd.fm displays a map showing where the song travels and who is listening across the country, and the world.

The latest Herd.fm is an evolution from the music app’s earlier incarnation which launched at the SXSW Accelerator contest in March 2011, which used location as the basis for providing music recommendations.

“For our new direction we took a hard look at the big picture of sharing and discovering music on your mobile device and how we could solve this problem,” says David Nam, newly appointed Herd.fm executive team member, formerly of MXP4 and Last.fm. “Other sharing and discovery services were clearly invented for the web browser and not fundamentally designed for a mobile device. In the new app, we’ve taken this completely broken experience and created a legit mobile solution that makes it easy, fast, convenient and fun to discover new music by doing what you already do — share the music you love with the ones you love.”

Nam added: “Herd.fm lets you broadcast recommendations like any other service, but we focus on person-to-person because sharing music is a global behavior, but the music you share isn’t globally liked by everyone. So instead of posting to a feed, post to the friends you think will like the music.”

ABOUT HERD.FM

Herd.fm tailors music sharing and discovering music for the mobile device to make it easy and fun for music fans to share the music love with they people they love, and with their social networks. The company was founded in 2010 by James Milward, founder of the award-winning interactive boutique Secret Location; Davin Lengyel, entrepreneur and IP lawyer; and Romeo Candido, Much Music producer/ editor and director. Executive team member David Nam was the former VP of Product and Marketing at MXP4 and Head of Marketing at Last.fm. Herd.fm launched its first version in March 2011 and is based in Toronto, Canada.

Imminent Destruction Historic Hotel – An Authors Cry for Help











Pearls – Spirits of the Belleview Biltmore


Belleair, Florida (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

On the register of historic buildings, the Victorian Belleview Biltmore Hotel is in immediate danger of being destroyed, and if demolished, over a century of national history will disappear forever. For over 115 years; celebrities, royalty and four US Presidents, including President Obama himself, number among the prominent guests of this treasured landmark.

In a recent Belleair town hall meeting, with the mayor absent, meeting minutes show that the presentation given by a hired consultant revealed in the second part of his recap that renovation of the hotel was completely overlooked. The majority of hundreds townspeople attending this meeting want the hotel preserved and were surprised at the major oversight, since this study was paid for with community taxes.

Brandvik’s novel not only attempts to save the Belleview Biltmore Hotel, but takes us from modern day turbulence into the looking glass – a century’s past of beauty and elegance and the strong women whose survival often depended upon their ability to band together with other women in a male dominated era. Blending the stream of time effortlessly, Brandvik gives the reader a chance to reconsider a world of possible futures, providing an enlightened learning experience derived from the heritage of our forebears.

Shape of the Suburbs: Understanding Toronto’s Sprawl

Written by admin on January 28, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Shape of the Suburbs: Understanding Toronto’s Sprawl

It is now impossible to understand major North American cities without considering the seemingly never-ending and ever-growing sprawl of their surrounding suburbs. In The Shape of the Suburbs, activist, urban affairs columnist, and former Toronto mayor John Sewell examines the relationship between the development of suburbs, water and sewage systems, highways, and the decision-making of Toronto-area governments to show how the suburbs spread, and how they have in turn shaped the city.

Using his wealth of knowledge of the city of Toronto and new information gathered from municipal archives, Sewell describes the major movements and forces that allowed for rapid development of the suburbs, while considering the options that were available to planners at the time. Discussing proposals to curb suburban sprawl from the 1960s to the recently adopted plan for the Greater Toronto area, Sewell combines insightful and accessible commentary with rigorous research on the debate between urban and suburban. Concerned not only with sprawl, The Shape of the Suburbs also demonstrates the ways in which suburban political, economic, and cultural influences have impacted the older, central city, culminating in the forced Megacity amalgamation of 1998.

Rich in detail and full of useful visual illustrations, The Shape of the Suburbs is a lively look at the construction of the suburban era.

Sweatshop Strife: Class, Ethnicity, and Gender in the Jewish Labour Movement of Toronto, 1900-1939 (Social History of Canada) (No 47)

In the first half of the twentieth century, many of Toronto’s immigrant Jews eked out a living in the needle-trade sweatshops of Spadina Avenue. In response to their expliotation on the shop floor, immigrant Jewish garment workers built one of the most advanced sections of the Canadian and American labour movements. Much more than a collective bargaining agency, Toronto’s Jewish labour movement had a distinctly socialist orientation and grew out of a vibrant Jewish working-class culture.

Ruth Frager examines the development of this unique movement, its sources of strength, and its limitations, focusing particularly on the complex interplay of class, ethnic, and gender interests and identities in the history of the movement. She examines the relationships between Jewish workers and Jewish manufacturers as well as relations between Jewish and non-Jewish workers and male and female workers in the city’s clothing industry.

In its prime, Toronto’s Jewish labour movement struggled not only to improve hard sweatshop condistions but also to bring about a fundamental socialist transformation. It was an uphill battle. Drastic economic downturns, hard employer offensives, and state repressions all worked against unionists’ workplace demands. Ethnic, gender, and ideological divisions weakened the movement and were manipulated by employers and their allies.

Drawing on her knowledge of Yiddish, Frager has been able to gain access to original records that shed new light on an important chapter in Canadian ethnic, labour, and women’s history.

Nicholas McGegan Leads BSO in Bach?s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1, February 2 & 4

Written by admin on January 21, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Nicholas McGegan Leads BSO in Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1, February 2 & 4











BSO Principal Trumpet Andrew Balio (credit: Christian Colberg)

Baltimore, Md. (PRWEB) January 14, 2012

Baroque specialist Nicholas McGegan will lead the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in a program of Bach, Rameau, Haydn and Mozart on Thursday, February 2 at 8 p.m. at the Music Center at Strathmore and Saturday, February 4 at 8 p.m. at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. The first half of the program features the Baroque-era jewels of J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 and Rameau’s Orchestral Suite from Naïs. The concert also includes works by two of the most famous early-classical composers: Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 and Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto, which will showcase the talents of BSO Principal Trumpet Andrew Balio. Please see below for complete program details.

Struggling to manage tensions with his employer’s wife and her disinterest in music, Bach began seeking employment outside his post as director of music at the court of Cöthen in the year 1721. Assembling a portfolio of sorts, Bach gathered six of his best concertos and sent them off to the Margrave of Brandenburg, who he met on a harpsichord shopping trip. Each concerto is scored for a unique ensemble of orchestral solo instruments – the Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 calling for double reeds, horns, and strings. Several BSO musicians will be featured in solo roles for this richly colored, energetic concerto.

While French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau is most known for his harpsichord music, opera, and other theatrical compositions, he also did much to advance music theory of the late-Baroque period. Between 1722 and 1764, he dedicated over 20 treaties and almost 1700 pages of writing to his pursuit of music theory, harmony, and pedagogy. A pastorale héroique opera, Naïs was commissioned by Louis XV in celebration of the signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle and its powerful overture showcases Rameau’s craftsmanship as a composer and music theorist.

At a concert in Venice in spring of 1800, trumpet soloist of the Royal Imperial Theater Anton Weidinger revealed his newly invented, keyed trumpet. To demonstrate its versatility, Weidinger premièred Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto, which he commissioned for the event. Considered to be Haydn’s finest concerto, this piece for solo trumpet contains climbing half-steps, an extended range and singing legato melodies – all of which would not have been possible to execute with the natural trumpet that preceded Weidinger’s keyed trumpet. BSO Principal Trumpet Andrew Balio made his solo debut playing Haydn’s Concerto with the Milwaukee Symphony when he was 15 years of age and since then has given solo performances around the globe. Balio was appointed Principal Trumpet of the BSO by Yuri Temirkanov in 2001.

Mystery surrounds Mozart’s final three symphonies, of which Symphony No. 39 is the antepenultimate. In an unprecedented creative outburst, Mozart wrote his last three symphonies in just six weeks. The longest and most complex of his symphonies, he seems to have written these works without any commission or external stimulus, though at the time he was in the midst of a financial crisis. Sadly, the beloved Austrian composer never saw the pieces performed in his lifetime.

Nicholas McGegan, conductor

Nicholas McGegan is loved by audiences and orchestras for performances that match authority with enthusiasm, scholarship with joy, and curatorial responsibility with evangelical exuberance.

Through 25 years as its music director, McGegan has established the San Francisco-based Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra as the leading period performance band in America – with notable appearances at Carnegie Hall, the London Proms, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and the International Handel Festival, Göttingen where he has been artistic director since 1991.

Also active in opera he was principal conductor of Sweden’s perfectly preserved 18th-century theatre from Drottingholm 1993-1996, running the annual festival there. He has been a guest-conductor at orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra and Philadelphia Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony, Toronto Symphony, and Sydney Symphony, the New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong Philharmonics, the Northern Sinfonia, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, as well as opera companies including Covent Garden, San Francisco, Santa Fe and Washington.

His discography of over 100 releases includes the world premiere recording of Handel’s Susanna, which attracted both a Gramophone Award and Grammy nomination, and recent issues of the same composer’s Solomon, Samson, and Acis and Galatea (a rarity in that it unearths the little-known version adapted by Felix Mendelssohn).

Nicholas McGegan was educated at Cambridge and Oxford and taught at the Royal College of Music, London. He was made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for 2010. His awards also include the Halle Handel Prize, an honorary professorship at Georg-August University, Göttingen, and an official Nicholas McGegan Day, declared by the Mayor of San Francisco in recognition of two decades’ of distinguished work with the Philharmonia Baroque.

Andrew Balio, trumpet

Wisconsin native Andrew Balio was appointed principal trumpet of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in 2001 by Yuri Temirkanov. Prior orchestral appointments include principal trumpet of the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta in 1994 and the Orquesta Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico in 1990, in addition to the Boston Philharmonic. He has also been a guest soloist with the Bergen Philharmonic of Norway. His solo debut was at age 15 with the Milwaukee Symphony, playing the Haydn Concerto. His teachers include Charles Schlueter, Adoph Herseth, Roger Voisin and Gene Young.

As a soloist, Mr. Balio has appeared throughout Europe, South America, Japan and the United States under such conductors as Zubin Mehta, Yuri Temirkanov, Gennady Rozdestvensky and Gunther Herbig. This past year he has given solo performances in Russia, Italy and Brazil. This coming year he will premiere a concerto being written for him by Sergey Yevtushenko at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The 2005-2006 season saw Mr. Balio perform the premier of Cuban composer Dafnis Prieto’s new work for trumpet and percussion; he also combined forces with the computer graphics department of the Maryland Institute College of Art to create a multimedia work based on Norwegian composer Ketil Hvoslef ’s Tromba Solo, Toru Takemitsu’s Paths and Otto Ketting’s Intrada.

Mr. Balio has taught master classes regularly in Russia and Italy, at the Conservatorio Nacional of Mexico, and in Brazil, Chile, Scandinavia, Israel, Japan and the United States. He has recorded for the Sony, RCA, Angel, Phillips and Teldec labels. In 2006, he founded Futuresymphony.org, an online think tank that examines innovative ways of making symphony orchestras financially viable while preserving their artistic mission.

February Folk Alliance International Conference Celebrates the Life and Music of Woody Guthrie

February Folk Alliance International Conference Celebrates the Life and Music of Woody Guthrie











Folk Alliance International


Memphis, TN (PRWEB) December 30, 2011

Every birthday is special but few approach the celebratory significance of 2012 as American music and its fans worldwide observe the centennial births of a unique musical visionary, Woody Guthrie. The music he created came from and spoke to the core cultural sensibilities of our country and by doing so it literally shaped the sound of folk music forever.    

Oklahoma’s “Dust Bowl Troubadour” Guthrie gave folk music a new found passion and purpose. As spokesman for the common man he evocatively chronicled their struggle to rise from poverty and oppression, simultaneously celebrating their hard-won victories and castigating the privileged and powerful who held them down. His anthems of inclusion gave voice to those previously ignored while his example gave rise to a generation of socially conscious singers and songwriters.

The 2012 International Folk Alliance Conference is pleased to host one of the first centennial celebrations of the life of Woody Guthrie on February 22-26, 2012 in Memphis featuring several days and nights of panel discussions and music featuring members of the Guthrie family, representatives from The Grammy Museum, the Woody Guthrie Archives, and musicians that represent the spirit of Woody in song. Feature participants will include Woody’s daughter Nora Guthrie, grandkids Cathy and Annie, legendary journalist Dave Marsh, the Grammy Museum’s Bob Santelli, artists Jimmy LaFave, Jonatha Brooke, Joel Raphael, Eliza Gilkyson, The Red Dirt Rangers and many other distinguished guests.

The 2012 International Folk Alliance Conference will showcase over 200 musical artists, host over 100 panel discussions and workshops, and bring together over 2000 members of the Folk music community.

The 2012 conference will also host special features on Memphis Music including a very special tribute to the late legendary Memphis record producer Jim Dickinson featuring his musical offspring Luther and Cody Dickinson; a special preview of our 2013 conference in Toronto; a keynote from music industry icon Bob Lefsetz; and Lifetime Achievement Awards presentations for Harry Belafonte, Robert Johnson and The Highlander Center.

It is not too late to participate and registration information is located on our website, http://www.folk.org. For questions regarding the 2012 Folk Alliance conference, contact Anna Creek at 901-522-1170. For media inquiries please contact Caleb Sweazy at caleb@folk.org.
