On the Scoring Notes podcast, we have spoken before about music preparation and the technology we all use to create musical compositions and get them in front of players and an audience. But how do those compositions begin in the first place? We're not talking about the magical moment when a composer wakes up and decides that they are going to create their magnum opus. It's when the phone rings (or maybe these days it's a text message or an email), and when the composer picks up, on the other end of the line there is someone inviting them — commissioning them — to write a new piece of music. Melissa Smey is the person who has been on the other end of that line many times. She tells us all about what that process is like. Melissa is the Associate Dean and Executive Director at Columbia University School of the Arts, where she leads the Arts Initiative, Miller Theatre, and oversees the Lenfest Center for the Arts. Melissa has commissioned over 40 new works from leading international composers and is the co-creator and host of the acclaimed podcast Mission: Commission, which demystifies the process of how classical music gets made. We talk about the particular role a university arts presenter has in campus life and the larger community, and how Miller Theatre's Composer Portraits have been particularly successful in building an audience that will come out to hear a wide variety of music. We also discuss the "road trip" of commissioning a new work and the nature of music preparation in bringing a piece to life, with special attention on the performers who will ultimately be tasked with interpreting the music, whether it's notated on paper spanning three music stands or is beamed from the latest music tablet devices.

Oliver Bass, President of Natural Lands discussed the non-profit and its mission, to save open space, care for nature, and connect people to the outdoors.   Founded in 1953, Natural Lands today works in Eastern PA and Southern NJ, protecting over 125,000 acres at 44 nature preserves, most of which is open to the public, free of charge 356 days a year.  Over 2.5 million people live within five miles of land protected by Natural Lands.   He discussed the founding by a local accountant and amateur bird-watcher, Allston Jenkins, and his fight to protect local land for the native creatures.   Today National Lands benefits from farmers and large land owners seeking to preserve their properties after they're gone, through donation and trusts.  Properties administered by Natural Lands include storied estates such as Stoneleigh and its gardens.   We talked about the current use of the land for family and nature lovers to enjoy and how these activities fit into their goals of promoting wildlife, water, climate and health.  There are over 117 miles of trail available for hiking and running.  They offer over 100 events each year from nature walks to star watching, children's events and outdoor concert.  Teaching children about conservation is a major goal and they offer many family activities. Because saving and maintaining land is expensive he discussed their fundraising efforts including memberships, walks and parties, such as the 2SP Brewing Company Charity Night and the ChesLen Chase for Open Space 10K, 5K and 2-mile Fun Run/Walk October 9th at ChesLen Preserve's Lenfest Center.   For more information about the properties, activities and membership visit NATLANDS.ORG See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In February 2018, Mark H., then a Columbia MFA Directing Candidate, presented his production of William Wells Brown’s 1858 play, The Escape; or a Leap for Freedom to a full house at the Lenfest Center for the Arts in Harlem. In this episode of the podcast Brigitte Fielder and Jonathan Senchyne (University of Wisconsin-Madison) talk to Mark H. about being only the second director to stage this 150-year old play. Their conversation includes discussion of attitudes toward melodrama and, significantly, of some of the decisions involved when presenting nineteenth-century depictions of anti-black violence to a contemporary audience. Post-production help from Melissa Gniadek.

The team at Nori believes that the best ideas come out of creative tension, so they are soliciting feedback on the completed draft of their white paper in order to identify any unanswered questions or potential issues before moving forward. In fact, the Reversapalooza Summit was designed for that very purpose. Dr. Klaus Lackner is the director of ASU’s Center for Negative Carbon Emissions (CNCE) and professor at the School of Sustainable Engineering. His research interests include closing the carbon cycle through direct air capture, carbon sequestration, carbon foot-printing, and energy and environmental policy. Klaus was the first to suggest the artificial air capture of carbon dioxide, and he invented the world’s first commercially demonstrated direct air capture units. From 2001 to 2014, Klaus served as the director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy, and his work has been featured in The New Yorker, Scientific Americanand the Washington Post. Today, Klaus joins Ross, Christophe and Paul to offer his feedback on the Nori whitepaper. Klaus explains why he likes the idea of breaking the carbon offset model and offering compensation based on actual carbon removed. He also shares his concerns around Nori’s customers, the verification challenges they face, and the issue of permanency. Listen in for spirited debate on retiring certificates in compliance markets and the potential decrease in value of Nori tokens as less expensive methods for collecting CO2 emerge.   Resources Klaus on RCC EP07 COMET-Farm Coinbase   Key Takeaways  [1:58] What Klaus likes about the Nori whitepaper Breaks model of carbon offsets Nori pays for actual removal Incentives better than market for mitigation Allows for balancing of carbon budget  [5:43] Klaus’ questions around Nori’s customers Compliance market vs. volunteers Start with large buyers (i.e.: corporations) Transition to microtransactions in high volume  [9:42] The verification challenge Nori faces Must work out standards method by method Baseline only works in certain class of applications [13:18] Klaus’ concerns over the permanency issue Existing markets require farmers to maintain practices for up to 100 years, only compensated for 20 Nori working with COMET-farm to determine minimum time before farmers will continue regardless [15:55] The categories of methodologies Ecological, industrial and hybrid One CRC = one metric ton of carbon removed (+/-10%) [19:01] Klaus’ reservations around retiring certificates CRC created with verification of carbon removal CRC non-transferrable as soon as purchased Compliance markets would accept CRCs (not tokens)  [24:22] The regulatory gray area of cryptocurrency Categorized as money, property and securities Clarification necessary to ensure compliance [26:45] Klaus’ concerns around market equilibrium Currency devalued as technology improves (cheaper to remove carbon) Encourages competition to increase profit margins Price at market level comes down with competition
