Creating a musical score for interactive video games is like trying to hit a moving target. Luckily, Hans Zimmer's studio Bleeding Fingers has developed some clever strategies. I talk with their CEO Russell Emanuel and musicians Thom Lukas and Giovanni Rios about how they create innovative scores for games like Arknights, and why they thrive under creative limitations. Grammy-winning video game composer Winifred Phillips discusses how she builds adaptive scores that shift and respond to unpredictable gameplay. And video game historian and RPI professor William Gibbons explains why the technological limitations of ‘80s and ‘90s games actually fueled composers' creativity.   This week's episode is sponsored by The Perfect Jean.

Episode 82: Narada Michael Walden. He went from being the drummer of Mahavishnu Orchestra and landing the cover of Modern Drummer Magazine, to producing Whitney Houston's biggest hits and winning the GRAMMY for Producer of the Year. This interview is the epic journey of Narada Michael Walden. I loved this conversation so much. Narada's positive, creative energy jumps out at you immediately. We go deep into his drumming career, how he got the gig with his favorite band, Mahavishnu Orchestra, following the great Billy Cobham. How he landed a record deal as a solo artist, almost got dropped, then shifted his focus to disco and scored a hit that saved his career. Then came the call from Clive Davis that launched his producing career and brought him Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and so many more. His story is incredibly inspiring. From super drummer, to successful solo artist to hit producer. We went so deep on Mahavishnu in this convo that we had to do this interview in two parts! I'm happy now to bring you Part 1 with the brilliant and fun Narada Michael Walden. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

MAX BREDESON, DOMINIC ZVADA, & MARLIN KLEIN Starts at 1:00 Zvada explains why kickers are so much better today: access to technology originally developed for golf that shows their spin rate and trajectory and distance, plus training techniques. Bredeson discusses The Game last year and how they went hunting for gaps, says anyone who plays TE can do all the things they do. Klein turned it up in the bowl game. We get a crash course in kicker and TE lingo.  2. BRYCE UNDERWOOD, JADYN DAVIS, & JORDAN MARSHALL Starts at 21:36 Underwood and Davis set up challenges for each other, how they make each other better. Marshall and Haynes were full go in spring, happy splitting reps. Least favorite guy to get hit by: Brandyn Hillman; Marshall was happy that he and Jaishawn were on his team in spring. What role the fans played in Bryce's recruitment. How does money play a role in the locker room these days? How they see the Martindale defense. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  3. MIKEY KEENE, DAVIS WARREN, & JUSTICE HAYNES Starts at 39:43 Keene on preparing to play Michigan: what they could teach each other. Haynes similar thing: what was it like playing against Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Thing they prepared for Michigan: wow, the blitzes! Haynes lists all the reasons he came to Michigan until we tell him "It's okay, the quarterbacks are aware we run the ball." On platooning: I want to be able to run around with my kids after football. Warren on playing Ohio State. New faces in the QB room: type of guys on the team. 4. DONAVEN MCCULLEY, SEMAJ MORGAN, PEYTON O'LEARY, & JOE TAYLOR Starts at 59:01 McCulley also shares what it's like to be a (true Fr) quarterback facing Michigan (not fun!). O'Leary and Taylor talk about the walk-on experience, what's going to happen with the 15 guys who used to be walk-ons. Other walk-ons who are impressing (Andrighetto at safety). Learning to play WR: you get a feel for where you need to be for the quarterback, playing in space. How much has the offense changed. Who's come along since last year: Tevis Metcalf for sure.   5. ERNEST HAUSMANN, TJ GUY, & DOMINIC NICHOLS Starts at 1:26:05 HONESTLY THIS WAS OUR BEST INTERVIEW. Ernest and TJ are starting a podcast. Guy on how many positions you need to know to play OLB. How he and Nichols feel about dropping into coverage. Hausmann shares he's got to be in better shape to be the dot because he can't be breathing hard between plays as he's giving the calls. What were they seeing versus Ohio State. "Ern was going crazy in that game." How do you grade LBs? It was quiet.     6. GREG CRIPPEN, GIO EL-HADI AND ANDREW BABALOLA Starts at 1:30:14 Crippen how it feels to be The Guy finally (not counting his eggs; he's got to win it). Why El-Hadi is just more comfortable on the left. Babalola on the difference between HS and college, and how he compares to the other guys as freshmen. What's it like being a five-star recruit. How they see the fronts and make the line calls. Why is OL hard: gotta learn the playbook first, including all the adjustments. How to make decisions on the fly: all about communication. Gio doesn't play with a mouthguard so he can communicate better. If Michigan football had to make a basketball team: PG: Semaj Morgan SG: Bryce Underwood SF: TJ Guy PF: Lugard Edokpayi C: Babalola/Sprague       8. ROD MOORE, ZEKE BERRY, TJ METCALF AND SHAMARI EARLS Starts at 1:43:41 Rod Moore recovery: 85%. Had to come back mentally before but he's staying as locked in as he can. TJ Metcalf on the portal experience. Zeke Berry on the transition to corner: switching up to #1 was a little iffy at first, but the look is the same, got used to it. Did he see the IU pick earlier in the game? No it was in practice the week before. Still a jack of all trades. Shamari on track, he's picking up all the calls. Receivers to watch? Marsh, Goodwin, Semaj. Who's the fastest guys out there. Who's the biggest hitter: B-Hill, then TJ then Rod. Transition to Wink last year: had to get comfortable with each other. 9. TRE WILLIAMSON, DERRICK MOORE, AND RAYSHAUN BENNY Starts at 1:55:39 Rayshaun going into this year: he's been out there, acted like a starter from previous years. Tre on difference with Michigan. He loves the depth, no other school had the type of talent he was playing around. D-Mo on playing Edge, started with two of the four positions (Rush, End, Buck and SAM). What would he say to his freshman self? Biff Poggi made this program the same program as at St. Frances. He was injured last year, the production was always there, leading the team in pressures early. Benny on coming back from his injury last year.

The IMMP takes a break from movies and TV to dip back into music, as Matthew introduces Ian to the dark but poppy science fiction of ELO's 1976 album A NEW WORLD RECORD.

Synopsis“Time is a funny thing,” as one of the more philosophically-inclined Viennese characters so wisely observed in Richard Strauss' opera Der Rosenkavalier.Der Rosenkavalier had its premiere in 1911, and coincidentally, on today's date that year, Viennese composer Anton von Webern completed one of the shortest orchestral works ever written — the fourth of his Five Pieces for Orchestra, which lasts about 20 seconds time. It's so short, it takes longer to describe the music than to actually hear it!Webern was attempting to render down the extravagant style of late-Romantic composers like Strauss and Mahler into its quintessence — a haiku-like concentration of gesture and color, the musical equivalent of a Japanese painting of just a few deft brush strokes across a blank canvas, with more implied than actually shown.In the same spirit, but at the opposite end of the time spectrum, is the work of American composer Morton Feldman, who holds the record for composing some of the longest pieces ever written. Feldman was friends with, and inspired by, painters of the so-called New York School, including Mark Rothko and Philip Guston. A 1984 work by Feldman is titled For Philip Guston, and, in complete performance, it's a piece that runs about four hours.Music Played in Today's ProgramRichard Strauss (1864-1949): Der Rosenkavalier: Suite; New York Philharmonic; Lorin Maazel, conductor; DG 7890Anton Webern (1883-1945): No. 4, from Five Pieces for Orchestra; Ensemble InterContemporain; Pierre Boulez, conductor; DG 437786Morton Feldman (1926-1987): For Philip Guston; The California EAR Unit; Bridge 9078

Send us a textUli Bella from Ozomatli stops by the show to discuss the 30 Revolutions Nationwide Tour, the LA raids, mental health, being a caregiver, Richard Simmons and more.  ****If the city of Los Angeles had a soundtrack, it would be Ozomatli. Since their formation in 1995, the six-piece, multi-genre band has been a cultural force, blending Latin, hip-hop, funk, reggae, and global influences into an unmistakable sound that embodies the energy and diversity of LA. In 2025, Ozomatli celebrates an incredible milestone: 30 years of bringing their dynamic, genre-defying music to audiences around the world.To mark the occasion, Summer 2025 kicks off their 30 Revolutions Nationwide Tour, a celebration of three decades of music, community, and culture.Emerging from the politically charged streets of Los Angeles, Ozomatli's origins are steeped in activism and a desire to unite communities through music. This ethos has carried the band across three decades, earning them a dedicated global following and accolades that include three GRAMMY® Awards, iconic performances at the Hollywood Bowl, a TED Talk, and countless shows worldwide. From high-profile TV appearances on The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Austin City Limits to groundbreaking tours in places like Burma and Mongolia, Ozomatli's music and message transcend borders, languages, and cultures.The ensemble's six founding members—Asdru Sierra (vocals, trumpet), Raul Pacheco (vocals, guitars), Uli Bella (saxophone, vocals), Wil-Dog Abers (bass), Jiro Yamaguchi (percussion), and Justin Poree (vocals, percussion)—have remained true to their mantra: "We take you around the world through the heartbeat of Los Angeles." Their music is a vibrant collision of styles, drawing from salsa, dancehall, cumbia, samba, funk, merengue, New Orleans second line, Jamaican ragga, and Indian raga. This eclecticism is at the heart of their sound, resonating with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.Ozomatli's legacy extends far beyond their music. Known for their tireless community involvement, the band has used their platform to amplify causes that matter, from immigrant rights to education and beyond. Their ability to combine socially conscious lyrics with infectious grooves has made them a beacon of unity and resilience, a band that celebrates life while addressing the struggles that connect us all.Their 30th anniversary is not just a celebration of longevity but also a testament to their enduring relevance and innovation.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Geechi Taylor—musician, educator, and Artistic Director & President of the Young Musicians Choral Orchestra—for a deeply moving and honest conversation about music, mentorship, and the meaning of community.From New York to Berkeley, CA, to sharing stages with Wynton Marsalis and Lauryn Hill, Geechi takes us through the twists and turns of a life shaped by rhythm, resilience, and real love. He shares how a trumpet in middle school opened doors to the world, how rejection fueled his growth, and how a circle of fierce mentors—including his single dad—taught him to lead with heart.But this episode is more than a musical journey—it's a story about showing up for the next generation. Geechi opens up about the joys and heartbreak of guiding young people through a world of distractions, inequity, and untapped brilliance. From teaching rehearsals in a laundry room to saving a student from street life, his commitment runs deep. He also shares how losing his wife shifted his perspective, and how self-care for him sometimes looks like unplugging, breathing in the sun, and walking without headphones.Whether you're an artist, parent, educator, or someone just trying to find your way, this conversation is a reminder of what's possible when we listen, love, and act with intention.

Sigillgravören och handelsmannen Aaron Isaac (1730–1816) var den förste jude som beviljades permanent uppehållstillstånd i Sverige utan krav på konvertering. Han anlände till Stockholm 1774, och redan året därpå fick han och två andra judar personligt tillstånd av kung Gustav III att bosätta sig i landet utan att överge sin tro.Isaac åtnjöt kungens förtroende och banade väg för en organiserad judisk närvaro i Sverige. Han grundade den första judiska församlingen i Stockholm och fick stort inflytande över judarnas situation i landet.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Carl Henrik Carlsson, författare till boken Aaron Isaac – Sveriges förste jude, om hur en målmedveten invandrare lade grunden för en hel minoritet – och hur synen på judar förändrades genom århundradena.Aaron Isaac föddes den 16 september 1730 i den lilla tyska staden Treuenbrietzen, där judar levde på samhällets rand och endast med särskilda tillstånd. Redan i unga år visade han konstnärlig och hantverksmässig talang, särskilt inom gravyr – ett yrke han lärde sig på egen hand. Men framtidsutsikterna i hemlandet var begränsade.I Mecklenburg byggde han upp en framgångsrik verksamhet och blev nyfiken på Sverige efter affärer med svenska officerare under det pommerska kriget. När han senare fick ekonomiska bekymmer begav han sig motvilligt till Sverige – trots avrådan från sina närmaste. En midsommardag 1774 steg en envis och målmedveten Isaac i land i Ystad, med sig hade han gravyrverktyg, ett rekommendationsbrev – och en vilja att leva som jude i Sverige.Med stöd från svenska ämbetsmän och tack vare sina unika färdigheter – sigillgravyr var högt eftertraktat – lyckades han efter en lång process få ett unikt tillstånd att bosätta sig i Stockholm utan att konvertera. Det var första gången som den svenska staten accepterade en jude som medborgare utan religiös konversion.Gustav III:s beslut speglade upplysningstidens idéer och påverkades av nationalekonomer som såg judisk invandring som ett sätt att stärka ekonomin. Trots kungens stöd mötte Isaac motstånd från präster och köpmän – något han vittnar om i sina memoarer.År 1782 formaliserades statens hållning i Judereglementet, ett toleransedikt som tillät judar att bo i Stockholm, Göteborg och Norrköping utan att konvertera. Men lagtexten begränsade samtidigt deras rättigheter: inga offentliga ämbeten, inga blandäktenskap, ingen mission, och kraftigt reglerad rörelsefrihet.Aaron Isaac grundade Stockholms första judiska församling, tog emot nya invandrare, organiserade gudstjänster och anlade en judisk begravningsplats. Som hovagent och arméleverantör blev han en bro mellan minoriteten och makten.Bild: Aaron Isaac var Sveriges första öppet levande jude, porträtterad av okänd konstnär. En affärsman, sigillgravör och visionär som år 1775 blev den förste att få tillstånd att bosätta sig i Sverige utan att överge sin tro. Hans insatser låg till grund för etableringen av Sveriges första judiska församling. Bild: Judiska museet (CC BY)Musik: Abe Schwartz's Orchestra.

SynopsisOne way composers help make ends meet is to accept commissions for occasional pieces — works written for some special occasion, a private or public celebration or anniversary of some event, large or small. Sometimes these works go on to have a life of their own apart from the special occasion that prompted their creation, so that subsequent audiences might not even be aware of the original event at all.In 1959, English composer Benjamin Britten accepted a commission from Swiss conductor Paul Sacher for a cantata to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the University of Basel in Switzerland. The texts selected for the cantata were all in Latin, the old academic language of universities 500 years ago, and included excerpts from the founding charter of the institution as well as medieval odes in praise of the university written by its students and faculty.Britten's score, which premiered at the University of Basel on today's date in 1960, was quite literally, an academic exercise — and it's amusing to note that apparently he wrote out the text for the work in the pages of one of his old school exercise books.Music Played in Today's ProgramBenjamin Britten (1913-1976): Cantata Academica (Carmen Basiliense); Jennifere Vyvyan, soprano; Helen Watts, mezzo-soprano; Peter Pears, tenor; Owen Brannigan, bass; London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra; George Malcolm, conductor; Decca 4251532

Pianist Yuja Wang is a phenomena in our time. A remarkable artist who is young enough in mind to make shockingly original music on stage, while being experienced enough to navigate the sometimes cut throat world of the classical music industry.  Between the bars host Yannick Dondelinger joins Yuja Wang for a taxi ride to Amsterdam, and an especially informal chat about the genius of Rachmaninov, the joy of China's cuisine, living in the USA, religion, the privacy of Bachs music, performing with the late and great Claudio Abbado, and many many more topics….. enjoy the ride.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network — hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott. This week, we're stepping off the corporate stage and into the orchestra pit — to explore what business leaders can learn from the world of classical music. Our guest is Roit Feldenkreis, international orchestra conductor and CEO of BHZ Group, who's spent years translating the unspoken power of presence, body language and tempo into boardroom leadership. In this episode, Roit shares how conducting teams — musical or managerial — starts with how you show up. This is a conversation about non-verbal leadership, team dynamics, and what it really means to trust the people around you — especially when you're not the one holding the mic.

As we shift gears to prepare for the upcoming season, Artistic Director Jonathan Stafford and Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan take a moment to reflect on our just-concluded 76th year, from two strikingly unique and unforgettable world premieres—from Resident Choreographer Justin Peck and Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky—to the return of cherished repertory works, the invaluable presence of coaches Suzanne Farrell and Merrill Ashley in the rehearsal studios, and much, much more. They celebrate the freedom and boldness the company displayed in notable debuts, well-earned promotions, and bittersweet retirements, and look forward to the new works and multi-faceted performances on the horizon.
