EA and Berklee College of Music Announce Scholarship and Mentoring Program

Electronic Arts has announced a partnership with the Berklee College of Music to offer a scholarship for one aspiring composer. EA Music, the division responsible for all soundtracks featured in titles from the publisher, is seeking one qualified woman or non-cisgender student in an attempt to help rebalance a heavily male-dominated occupation.

Video game music has been a source of great joy for gamers since the industry was first conceptualized decades ago, and it is incredibly welcome to see the wider sphere of musical influence come to appreciate it more. In just a few days, the Grammy Awards will announce the winner of a newly introduced category titled Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games, and the nominees include industry legends such as Christopher Tin and Austin Wintory. Tin in fact composed the first piece of video game music to ever be nominated and win a Grammy in any category, and it is the second Grammy nomination for Wintory, whose soundtrack for Journey made history as the only video game soundtrack to be nominated for the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media category in 2013. But the musical composition for screens is also a disproportionately male-dominated field, somewhat demonstrated by the 4:1 ratio between male and female nominees.

A newly established EA/Berklee Next-Gen Scholarship offers one woman or non-cisgender composer the opportunity to be mentored by EA’s own team on video game composition and is due to be announced at the Boston campus on EA Day. Steve Schnur, EA Music’s worldwide executive and president, stated that the collaboration is only the latest step from the developer and publisher to “inspire the next generation to pursue STEAM-based careers.” The STEAM acronym adds arts to the more commonly known STEM, which refers to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

Schnur went on to explain that a recent USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found women represent only 1.7% of composers in screen music. The Grammy nominees may present a 4:1 split in favor of men, but the ratio for the wider industry has been recorded to be 18.3 to 1. Schnur hopes that the partnership will aid in “developing a new generation of women composers.”

The figures present a disappointing reality for an aspect of video games that players have cherished for decades, perfectly encapsulated by the adoration held for The Game Awards Live Orchestra. Geoff Keighley’s most recent celebration of video games featured the iconic ensemble once again, thrust to new heights of popularity thanks to Pedro Eustache, also known as “Flute Guy.” His energy across the medley that honored each Game of the Year nominee stole the show and became one of many memorable moments from that night.

This style of travel is growing more popular among the 50-plus set, and it can offer a richer, more relaxing experience

Posted on


Travel for most of us falls into two categories: vacations and trips.

Vacations are when daily life has you stressed to the max, so you arrive at your destination to relax and do as little as possible the entire time you’re there. 

Trips are when you think you may be at a special place only once in your life, so you rush around trying to cram in as many activities, excursions and photo ops as possible.

Each approach comes with its own problems. Vacationers often spend the first few days of their time off unwinding and the last few days thinking about the problems waiting for their return. People on comprehensive, don’t-miss-anything trips can be so exhausted by the last day that they feel they need a vacation.

What is slow travel?

The good news is there’s a new form of travel popular among the 50-plus set that hits a happy medium between these two extremes. It’s called slow travel.

Inspired by the slow food movement that began in Italy in the 1980s as a reaction to the proliferation of fast food restaurants, slow travel started, well, slowly. It has accelerated significantly since the COVID pandemic turned travel upside down and Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, the world’s first hotel school, expects it to grow 10% a year.

Slow travel emphasizes staying in one place long enough to personally connect with the local people, culture, food and even music. While purists advocate avoiding touristy spots in favor of locations more off the beaten path, there are no hard and fast rules. You decide where, how, and for what period of time to apply these basic principles:

  • Travel independently. With large, organized tours, participants travel together, lodge together and eat together. Historical context and architectural highlights are selected by one person, the tour guide. While slow travel can involve small-group tours within specific geographic areas, the goal is to enable travelers to independently participate in a rich and meaningful experience.
  • Stay, eat, and buy local. Forego the international chains and book your stay in a locally owned hotel, B&B, or Airbnb Tap into the knowledge of guides and drivers with deep roots in the community. Sample regional delicacies in a restaurant where you’re the only foreigner in sight. Cherish the skill of the indigenous weaver who crafted the embroidered poncho you just purchased. Insider tip: Look into the possibility of house sitting for a local family. In exchange for keeping an eye on their home and probably caring for a pet, you’ll have free accommodations and maybe even the use of a vehicle.
  • Don’t overschedule. Forget about bouncing from attraction to attraction snapping photos all day every day in a whirlwind “greatest hits” frenzy. With slow travel you purposely leave gaps in your itinerary to be spontaneous, perhaps by planning one activity and leaving the rest of the day to freely explore. Or resisting the urge to “stay on schedule” by leaving an entire day open.

Don’t miss: This 82-year-old woman ended up traveling alone in France for 3 weeks, and it turned out pretty great

Why to consider slow travel

  • Richer experiences. Have you ever found yourself looking at travel photos trying to figure out where the heck you were? Or what you are even looking at? And you’ve only been home a week?
  • Savoring each day. Having stories to tell for years to come about a meal shared in a local’s home. Remembering the taste of the fresh artisanal goat cheese you bought at a small farm. Returning home energized instead of exhausted. That’s slow travel.

How to be a slow traveler

  • Richer experiences. Have you ever found yourself looking at travel photos trying to figure out where the heck you were? Or what you are even looking at? And you’ve only been home a week?
  • Savoring each day. Having stories to tell for years to come about a meal shared in a local’s home. Remembering the taste of the fresh artisanal goat cheese you bought at a small farm. Returning home energized instead of exhausted. That’s slow travel.
  • Cheaper trips. It might seem counterintuitive that an extended stay in one place might save you money. Often the biggest travel expense is getting to and from your destination. The more stops you make, the more money you spend. Besides minimizing transportation costs, multiweek stays frequently come with substantial discounts. Airbnb has a dedicated site for bookings longer than 27 days with savings of 30% or more versus the daily rate. Insider tip: Don’t be shy about asking the host for an even better rate, especially if the calendar for the listing is empty. A “no” costs you nothing.
  • Relaxed pace. What slow travel definitely is not is “speed traveling” for a longer period of time. Especially for older travelers, it’s important to pencil in adequate rest and relaxation between activities to avoid burnout.

As full-time travelers for the past several years, we’ve practiced slow travel without knowing it was a “thing.” The benefits were evident during a recent European visit when we spent two weeks each in Lisbon, Madrid, Bordeaux and Paris. 

A more leisurely pace in these popular cities with tons of attractions allowed us to take in all the sights, randomly wander through interesting neighborhoods, and guiltlessly do nothing on days we needed to rest. Sometimes we planned our own outings, but when it made more sense, we didn’t hesitate to book a guided excursion. Purists we are not!

If slow travel sounds intriguing, here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Set a leisurely pace. Looking to visit a bucket list destination? Decide what you want to see and do, then figure out the shortest amount of time your trip would take if you were in nonstop attack mode. Then either increase the length of your travel (if possible, double it), or scale back your itinerary.
  • Choose dates wisely. Consider planning your slow travel during “shoulder season,” the period between peak and off-peak months. In most areas of the world this is the spring and fall. Crowds are gone, the weather is glorious and prices are lower. More of that, please!
  • Pick affordable spots. Are your vacation days or budget limited? Narrow your list of potential destinations to places where you can enjoy an immersive experience without a major investment of time or money. We spent a month in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a popular retirement spot, last autumn and had a blast touring the Amish countryside and nearby historical sites.

See: Off-season travel can save you money, but there’s more than just weather data to consider

A different approach

Twenty years ago “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” sounded like a great idea. However, many of us have concluded that passport stamp collecting is too exhausting a hobby to continue pursuing.

Slow travel focuses more on custom designing the journey. It’s truly a metaphor for a different approach to life: Take your time. Be present. Connect to your surroundings. Practice environmental consciousness. Create meaningful moments.

Madishu is a contemporary electro-pop cut above the rest in her hypersonically redemptive single, Naïve – Independent Music – New Music

Posted on


The Austrian electro-pop artist, Madishu, is off the sonic Richter scale in her latest single, Naïve. The piercing RnB-tinged electro-pop aesthetic will ensnare you from the first melodic hook, while the lyrical vulnerability pushes you deeper into the soulfully disarming hypersonic world, which will be a hit with any fans of 8 Bit-adjacent music.

If any artist can relinquish you from the shame of being naïve, it is Madishu with this addictively vindicating earworm which effortlessly demonstrates the beauty in sincerity when there’s such a scarcity.

“The song is about a toxic friendship I broke free from, and the journey I took in learning to value myself enough to no longer tolerate people who constantly take from me without giving back.”

After achieving viral renown via her collaboration with MOONBOY on the track Need U and off the back of her own original work, the Austrian singer-songwriter is a vision of visceral colour in a drab and dark world.

Naïve will officially stream across all major platforms on February 3rd. Hear it here.

Follow Madishu on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Virginia Beach City Council to talk possible country music fest

Posted on


Their hope is to bring both emerging and top artists together in the south beach area of the city.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Riding on the heels of a successful planned return for the Something in the Water Festival, the Virginia Beach City Council is planning to discuss another musical possibility. 

On February 7, agenda documents show that members will address the proposed “Beach IT!” music festival.

If approved, the Live Nation event will be held from June 23 through 25. 

Their hope is to bring both emerging and top country artists together in the south beach area of the city. 

The venue area would stretch from 1st Street to 8th Street at the Oceanfront.

If successful, officials hope that this would become an annual event. 

In order to assist and attract the festival to the area, the city would allocate an initial $1.5 million in funds that would be adjusted if needed. 

This is a developing story.

VIDEO PREMIERE: Autumn Luz Pushes and Pulls with Eerily Ambient Alt-rocker “Speed”

Posted on


Singer-songwriter, composer, and producer Autumn Luz has spent much of her life longing for the opportunity to pursue music in a serious way. As a child, she begged for piano lessons, but her family couldn’t afford them. During arts high school and college, she taught herself piano on gorgeous, in-tune Steinway pianos she found hidden in practice rooms.

Autumn has been a welfare kid, a prep school kid, a University of Chicago dropout, a complex trauma survivor, a ballet director, an MBA grad, and a data tech leader, all while managing a genetic medical condition. Today, she is a focused artist with a well-developed signature aesthetic that embraces hues of blues, jazz, and alt-rock. Her songs glower with the passion of working through inner conflicts and contradictions, and the search for truths and wholeness. “What attracts me in music is raw authenticity. I am not afraid to explore dark places. That’s the only thing I hope to follow: the courage to be passionately authentic,” she says. With her on these revealing musical explorations are genre-busting multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and arranger Samwe, and composer, pianist, and guitarist Sarun Charumilind.

Today Glide is excited to premiere Autumn’s new single “Speed,” which explodes with a sense of pent-up urgency that recalls the hard-hitting 90s alt-rock of acts like Veruca Salt and Tracy Bonham but with Autumn’s distinctly enchanting vocals coming from and center. The lyrics, which touch on her daily contradictions, lend themselves to the pleasing strangeness of the tune and its veering tempos. Musically, the tune finds Autumn and her backing band playing with dark pop and ominous rock to make for something that pulls the listener into its orbit.

Autumn describes the inspiration behind the song:

“Speed” is a perfect encapsulation of the push and pull of my drive against the limits of reality, and how that constantly trips me up. Even producing this song was two steps forward, one step back, over and over and over again. The result was a conglomeration of fragments, pieced together to create a comforting, vintage-alt-rock-influenced nostalgia for the beauty that comes with absurd contradictions. My personal anthem.

GloRilla Drops “Internet Trolls” Single

Posted on


After a relatively successful (mildly speaking) and breakout 2022, GloRilla offers her first solo track of 2023 with “Internet Trolls.”

“You know me as a person, I make songs off what I go through or the stuff I see going on, and it’s just a lot of internet trolls. People, they don’t leave their house. They don’t get off their phone. They don’t go outside and see what the real world got to offer,” Glo said to Eddie Francis on New Music Daily on Apple Music 1 of the song. “This the song, to let people really know it’s a world outside of the internet. You know what I’m saying? Go explore it. So much fun.”

She also released a video for the song, as well.

Tanglewood 2023, with the BSO, the Boston Pops, and More

Posted on



The Boston Symphony Orchestra has announced its schedule for the 2023 season at its summer home of Tanglewood. The season includes eight weekends of concerts at the Koussevitzky Music Shed by the BSO, the Boston Pops, and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, with particular highlights including dance, opera, and film. In addition, a full schedule of concerts and events is planned for the Tanglewood Music Center and the Tanglewood Learning Institute, at Seiji Ozawa Hall and the Linde Center for Music and Learning.

BSO Music Director Andris Nelsons leads eight Boston Symphony concerts at the Shed, beginning with Opening Night at Tanglewood, a program on July 7 that features pianist Daniil Trifonov in Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4. Hilary Hahn is the soloist in Brahms’s Violin Concerto on Sunday, July 9, part of a program that also includes works by Iman Habibi and Jessie Montgomery, both commissioned by the BSO.

Other works to be conducted by Nelsons include a concert performance of Mozart’s opera Così fan tutte on July 15, featuring soprano Nicole Cabell and mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey, and, on July 16, Carl Orff’s Carmina burana. Both concerts also feature the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Later in the summer, Nelsons conducts John Williams’s Violin Concerto No. 2 on August 11, with soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter; Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 on August 12, with soloist Yo-Yo Ma; Saint-Saëns’s Piano Concerto No. 5, “Egyptian,” and Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F on August 18, both with soloist Jean-Yves Thibaudet; and Tchaikovksy’s Violin Concerto on August 19, with soloist Leonidas Kavakos.

The BSO will also perform with several guest conductors. Xian Zhang makes her BSO debut on July 21, conducting Copland’s Appalachian Spring with Nimbus Dance. On July 23, Thomas Wilkins conducts a new mandolin concerto called Blue Ridge, with soloist and composer Jeff Midkiff. Giancarlo Guerrero conducts Julia Wolfe’s Her Story, with Lorelei Ensemble, on July 28, along with Mahler’s Symphony No. 1. Dima Slobodeniouk conducts two BSO concerts, on July 29 and August 4.

BSO Assistant Conductor Anna Rakitina leads the orchestra for the last time in that role on July 30 in a program that includes Paganini’s Violin Concerto No. 1, with soloist Joshua Bell, as well as a suite from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. On August 6, Kazuki Yamada makes his BSO debut in a program that includes Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique. And on August 12, Susanna Mälkki conducts Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, along with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9, with soloist Seong-Jin Cho.

The Boston Pops plays an expanded role in the 2023 season, beginning on July 8, when Keith Lockhart leads a new concert version of the Broadway hit Ragtime. On July 14, Lockhart conducts “Two Pianos: Who Could Ask for Anything More?”, an All-Gershwin program featuring vocalist and pianist Michael Feinstein and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. “John Williams’s Film Night” returns to the Shed on August 5, with conductors John Williams and David Newman. The Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra brings more of Williams’s music to the stage on August 26, in the form of the score to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, in a live accompaniment to the movie as it’s shown in the Shed. And Lockhart leads the Pops Esplanade Orchestra again on August 27 in “Star Wars: The Story in Music.”

Susanna Mälkki also leads the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 on August 20, taking on a venerable Tanglewood tradition while the Boston Symphony departs on a European tour. Soloists include soprano Amanda Majeski, mezzo-soprano J’Nai Bridges, tenor Stephen Costello, and bass Ryan Speedo Green, along with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.

TMC concerts during the summer also include orchestra performances led by Andris Nelsons, Xian Zhang, Dima Slobodeniouk, and Dame Jane Glover, as well as TMC Conducting Fellows and the head of the TMC conducting program, Stefan Asbury. In addition, the Fellows of the TMC perform several chamber music concerts throughout the summer, starting with the String Quartet Marathon on July 1.

The TMC’s Festival of Contemporary Music takes place July 27 through July 31, curated by four composers: Reena Esmail, Gabriela Lena Frank, Tebogo Monnakgotla, and Anna Thorvaldsdottir. Each curates an individual program, and the FCM culminates in a TMC Orchestra concert, led by Stefan Asbury, that includes works by all four composers.

Multidisciplinary Artist Dorian Wood Blends Music, Collaborative Performance, and Art Installations to Create ‘Canto de Todes’

We all have a story to tell and each of us have a nuanced way to tell it. Dorian Wood (she/they) understands this and harnesses the power behind storytelling through her art. Soon, they’ll bring more of their stories to life in their upcoming show Canto de Todes (Song for Everyone).

Split into three movements, Canto de Todes is a 12-hour collaborative, experimental chamber music composition and installation. Inspired by a lyric from late Chilean singer-songwriter Violeta Parra, Canto de Todes is an ode to the folk music that raised Wood. The project uses folk music as a conduit for social change and invites attendees to engage with the performance forever how long they choose. 

With genres intertwining and bending in their music, the collection of songs within Canto de Todes are a part of a long-durational, spatial experience. Through the reworking of chamber music, collaborative performance, and an immersive installation, Wood creates a personalized and dynamic music experience. Additionally, Canto de Todes incorporates the work of local artists, as Wood intends to tour the production worldwide, forever changing the face of an ever-evolving project. 

“The format of Canto de Todes is meant to defy people’s expectation of the rigidness often associated with witnessing chamber music performances, and instead offer a welcoming space that allows for individuals to project their personal and communal joys and traumas,” said Wood. “My hope with Canto de Todes is to tour it as broad and wide as possible, mutating and expanding with ongoing collaborations with artists local to each region, and work toward a future of acknowledgment over inclusion, and of reparations over acceptance.”

As a multidisciplinary based in Los Angeles, Wood’s identities strongly informs their work. As a genderfluid brown person, a child of Costa Rican and Nicaraguan immigrants, and an autodidact, Wood uses her art to challenge systems, traditions, and ideologies. A 2020 Creative Capital Award winner, a 2020 Art Matters Foundation grant recipient, a MacDowell fellow, and a Loghaven fellow, Wood’s artistry has been lauded and showcased globally. With work presented at The Broad (Los Angeles), REDCAT (Los Angeles), Museo Nacional Del Prado (Madrid), and Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris (Mexico City), Wood’s work transcends genres and geographical borders. 

Each movement of Canto de Todes works together to paint a picture of the urgency for social change. The first and third movements consist of hourlong chamber pieces tinged in folk, pop, and experimental music. The second movement is a prerecorded 10-hour piece that unfolds within the multidisciplinary center REDCAT. 

While stationed in Los Angeles, Wood hopes to take the piece globallyl in order to spread its message as far as Canto de Todes will take her. 

“My dream would be that five, 10, 20 years from now, audiences will enter their own versions of Canto de Todes with the curiosity of experiencing something new and of the moment, custom-modified for their community, and informed by accumulated layers of ancestral energy,” said Wood.

Canto de Todes premieres on Friday, Feb. 3, 2023 at 8:30PM PST at L.A.’s REDCAT. To learn more, click here.
