REMU-UT 1020 Fundamentals of Audio Workstations I
INSTRUCTOR: Jonathan Perl
MTWR 9:00am-12:30pm
Jan 7, 2013 – Jan 26, 2013
Students will acquire an in-depth, theoretical and practical knowledge of Digital Audio Workstations through a weekly, lab-based workshop. An emphasis will be made on file management, and system configurations. Students will then start using Pro Tools and Logic Pro, learning the operating modes and tools, gain structure and multi-tracking techniques, using overdubs to build an arrangement. The semester will round out with techniques for editing and “comping”, consolidating tracks and preparing the files for the mix session.
REMU-UT 1070 The Art of Recording Classic Drums
INSTRUCTOR: Rich Pagano
MW 2:00pm-5:55pm
Jan 7, 2013 – Jan 26, 2013
Drum sounds have the potential to exhibit as much personality on a recording as a vocalist or soloist. However, a great drum sound can be difficult to obtain. Through this course, the creative student will learn the techniques necessary to expand their acoustic drum-sound “library.” This hands-on studio course covers techniques of instrument and head selection, micing, tuning, and recording the “classic” drum sounds typified by Ringo Starr, Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound (Hal Blaine), Rudy Van Gelder’s jazz sound (Miles Davis), Motown, drum sounds of the early 70s and John Bonham. The workshop will be complemented with extensive historical documentation culled from personal interviews with engineering legends Geoff Emerick (Beatles), Elliot Scheiner (Steely Dan), Chris Huston (Led Zeppelin), session set-up sheets and photos.

REMU-UT 1073 Launching the Project or Home Studio
INSTRUCTOR: Hector Castillo
TR 2:00pm-5:15pm
Jan 7, 2013 – Jan 26, 2013
As recording budgets shrink, so to has the size and grandeur of the traditional recording studio. Even with this decrease, digital audio has enabled us to improve creative functionality with a much smaller real estate footprint and upfront investment. This course will introduce students to the concepts, gear, and techniques necessary to facilitate a pragmatic and economical hybrid integration of analog processing and “in-the-box” DAW-based recording technology. Students will develop a personal approach to building and customizing their own affordable and scalable project studios that meet their sonic and aesthetic needs. Topics will include analog summing mixers, A/D and D/A conversion, customizing signal flow and signal processing, and MIDI and DAW controllers.
REMU-UT 1111 Topics in Recorded Music: Miles Davis & Modern Jazz
INSTRUCTOR: Ashley Kahn
MW 2:00pm-5:55pm
Jan 7, 2013 – Jan 26, 2013
Dazzlingly inventive and consistently cool – whatever musical style he was busy inventing – Miles Davis stands as one of the most courageous and influential musicians of the 20th Century. His career is a road map of the history of modern jazz, and reveals how one man could change the path of an entire genre – as he did six or seven times! This course will cover Miles’ first 15 years in New York City, a period that included one of the most fertile and pivotal periods in modern music, and which culminated trumpeter’s enduringly popular recording Kind of Blue – which continues to be one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time. This course will look at Miles’ singular career from a variety of perspectives: socially, musically, and business-wise.
The course objectives are ambitious for just six classes: an understanding of Davis’s restless, intrepid genius and the initial, defining steps of his career; a familiarity of modern jazz as a whole; an embrace of a multitude of approaches to examining recorded music in general; and a grasp of the ideas and vocabulary to describe jazz and musical performances. With readings, listenings, documentaries and guest speakers – plus visits to area jazz clubs – we will accomplish exactly that.
REMU-UT 1119 Topics in Recorded Music: Bob Marley & Post-colonial Music
INSTRUCTOR: Vivien Goldman
TR 2:00pm-5:15pm
Jan 7, 2013 – Jan 26, 2013
Often described as “a prophet,” the pioneer Bob Marley transcended the genre he helped develop, Jamaican reggae, to become a musical and revolutionary leader of the 20th Century. On the way, the bi-racial Marley smashed restrictions of race and class imposed on his generation by the colonial system. How did Marley, an effectively fatherless child from a tiny village, achieve his rise to global authority and influence, musically, socio-politically, spiritually, personally and in terms of the industry?
Vivien Goldman was Bob Marley’s trusted chronicler and has written two books about him. We will examine the history of Jamaica, its culture and connection with Britain; Marley’s evolution as a writer and musician; his creative partnerships with artists like The Wailers and dubmaster Lee Perry; his lifelong battle to control the business of his music; and his commitment to pan-Africanism and Rasta as a way of life. There will be Special Guests and Screenings. Experience this rare opportunity to learn about Bob Marley from someone who first worked with him at his record company, Island, then wrote about him at home, on the road and in the studio.

Jingle Punks’ The Swiss Army Knife Master Class
Jingle Punks, a music talent agency, a crowd-sourced composer resource and a digital talent aggregation model rolled up in a 21st century media company, provides a palette of sound that can be heard knocking down the doors of Advertising, Television and Film. With their recent, game-changing Sonic Branding and Composing wins for companies like Chevy and Nike, Networks like NBC and History, and a panoply of partners throughout the digital landscape, Jingle Punks has redefined the listenable landscape of every platform of content.
Now, Jingle Punks CEO “Jingle” Jared is offering a rare insight into the real-world challenges and insanity that will face any composer looking to carve out a career for themselves in the media space. This non-stop [possibly record-breaking] composing session has to be experienced to believe. You will walk into the session as a composing “rookie” (regardless of how much composing experience you may think you have) and walk out a Judo Zen Master of many different styles.
This experience will be part boot camp, part practical knowledge, and part “client-from-hell” training. The master class will be broken down so Jared can provide insight into his typical workflow when he is working on various projects ranging from Reality shows, to major motion pictures, to million dollar ad campaigns.

More about Dyana Williams:
Affectionately named “The Ambassador of African-American Music” by American Express’ Departures magazine, the Harlem, New York native began her career at WHUR-FM in the Nation’s Capitol and later, journeyed back home to the top-rated station, WBLS-FM. After making history as the first African-American woman to join an on-air team in Rock radio at WRQX-FM, she landed her first on-camera position as an entertainment reporter on “PM Magazine,” which aired on Washington, D.C.’s CBS affiliate, WUSA. In 1980, Williams made Philadelphia her home with a coveted on-air position at WDAS-FM. Additionally, she organized the station’s community-based activities. Her responsibilities were coupled with a position as News & Entertainment Reporter for BET and Music Consultant for VH1’s “The Soul of VH1.”
Her commitment to the community and entertainment industry shadows her career. In 1991, she co-founded the International Association of African-American Music. In her role as a music activist, Ms. Williams co-authored House Concurrent Bill 509 as a means to give credence to the contributions of African-American music as a viable cultural and economic entity. She rallied alongside Congressman Chaka Fattah to pass the bill. Dyana was invited to the White House during the Jimmy Carter and Clinton administrations. During Black Music Month 2007 at the White House, President George W. Bush recognized her for her work in the music industry.
The recipient of two academic scholarships, Williams earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Radio, Television and Film, and graduated cum laude, from the Annenberg School of Communications at Temple University and has been honored with a Liberty Bell from Mayor John Street and the City of Philadelphia, as well as a citation from the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives. Dyana is a member of SAG-AFTRA, NABFEME and serves on the board of governors for the Philadelphia chapter of NARAS (better known as The Recording Academy or the Grammy’s organization).
Her writing has graced the pages of Billboard, The Philadelphia Tribune, The Philadelphia New Observer. She’s been profiled in VIBE, Essence, Black Enterprise, Ebony, Jet, Upscale,The Philadelphia Sun and The Philadelphia Weekly. Dyana has been a featured guest on CNN where she was interviewed by Anderson Cooper, spotlighted on CNN Headline News as one of the top African American leaders in the country and appeared on PBS, MTV and The Tom Joyner Morning Show. Dyana has been a commentator on TV One’s NAACP Award winning music documentary series, Unsung, as well as a co-executive producer for the Teddy Pendergrass episode. She has also served as a consultant to media maven, Cathy Hughes’ show TV ONE ON ONE on the TV One network.
Dyana has also delved into the realm of documentary film with “Message in the Music: Gamble & Huff’s Sound of Philadelphia,” a project she’s producing with noted film maker/author, Nelson George. Currently, Williams co-hosts “Soulful Sunday,” with Derrick Sampson, a weekly show broadcast via Radio One adult contemporary station 100.3 WRNB-FM Philadelphia, deftly weaving vintage sounds from Motown to Stax to The Sound of Philadelphia –and every classic artist in between. She was awarded the “Achievement in Radio Award for Best Weekend Show” in Philadelphia for 2006.
Ever mindful of the importance of family, Williams is most proud of her role as mother to her three children from her former union with acclaimed producer and songwriter, Kenny Gamble – Caliph, Salahdeen and Princess Idia. Dyana Williams splits her time between her home in the Philadelphia area and her sanctuary in the Treme neighborhood of New Orleans.

The Rise of the Artist/Mogul:
How Hip-Hop Artists Turned the Tables on the Music Business
WHEN: Tuesday, March 6, 12:45-1:45 pm
WHERE: 721 Broadway, Room 006
ABOUT THE EVENT:
For most of music business history, artists remained serfs; suffering financially until they sold at a superstar-level. In the 1990s and 2000s, hip-hop artists and industry advocates transformed the relationship between master and servant. In this lecture, we’ll explore the roles of four key players in this transformation: the Wu-Tang Clan, Cash Money Records, Roc-A-Fella (Jay-Z and Damon Dash), and a little-known activist and artist advocate named Wendy Day.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Dan Charnas is the author of The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop (New American Library/Penguin) and the coauthor of Def Jam: The First 25 Years of the Last Great Record Label (Rizzoli). Charnas was one of the first writers for The Source and part of a generation of young writers who helped create hip-hop journalism; he also served as VP of A&R for Rick Rubin’s American Recordings. Charnas is currently Editorial Director for InteractiveOne and an adjunct professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.
RSVP is required. This event is open to all New York University students, faculty, staff, & alumni. A valid NYU ID is required for entrance to the building. Seating is first-come, first-served.

Patrick Derivaz on Music and Sound Design
Friday, March 9th from 4:00PM – 5:30PM
194 Mercer Street, Dennis Riese Family Recording Studio 510
Sound and music influence, enrich and are an integral part of most aspects of our daily life. They are almost always part of a visual experience. During this workshop, we will take a short video and add to it sonic elements from musical instruments, voices, various natural or industrial sources. These sounds will then be manipulated to create different “soundtracks” conveying various moods to the visual depending on their arrangements and juxtaposition to it. We will also make sure during the entire process that we are getting proper audio levels. Students will be encouraged to participate and express their creativity.
Patrick composes, produces, performs, records and mixes a wide range of innovative and cross-cultural styles of music. He has worked with many artists, including Erikah Badu, Jeff Buckley, De La Soul, Barry Manilow, and Charles Mingus Band to name a few, and his music has been featured in films, TV (Discovery and Travel Channels) and jingles (Burger King, McDonald’s). In addition to teaching and chairing multiple committees, Patrick also works as the FOH engineer if major US clubs, including Summerstage (Central Park, NYC).
This event is ONLY open to NYU students, faculty, staff and alumni.
A valid NYU ID is required to enter the building.
This is a FREE event, but an RSVP is required. Seats are limited. First-come first-served.
