Exploring the Evolution of Lyric Licensing and Music Tech: Insights from DarylIn an interview with Daryl, an industry leader in lyric licensing and music tech, we dive into how the landscape of music rights and royalties is changing, and how innovative technologies like AI and video creation tools are shaping the future for artists, labels, and fans alike.Lyric licensing has evolved over the years, with companies like LyricFind paving the way for new revenue streams through services like Lyric Merch. This on-demand merchandising service allowed publishers to license song lyrics for custom merchandise. However, the challenge of enforcing rights in an increasingly fragmented marketplace of platforms like Etsy and Redbubble led to the transition of Lyric Merch into a licensing model that works with businesses like Lithographs, which makes merchandise based on literature and lyrics.As Daryl points out, while lyric merchandising faces challenges in enforcement, the broader music industry continues to grow, fuelled by streaming services and direct-to-consumer access. Today, more people are spending on music than ever before, thanks to affordable streaming subscriptions, which have replaced traditional physical formats. This shift has made it easier for independent artists to break into the market without needing a major label.The rise of AI-driven technologies, such as stem separation tools, also opens up new opportunities for karaoke and lyric synchronisation. While karaoke companies historically used re-recorded tracks to avoid paying for the original master's licensing, advancements now allow for the use of actual masters. This makes it easier to integrate lyrics into digital karaoke services. However, the publishing rights for karaoke remain a different sector, with publishers avoiding cannibalising existing revenue streams from traditional karaoke.Looking to the future, Daryl foresees continued growth for lyric licensing, particularly through the synchronisation of lyrics with video content. With more artists focusing on video as a key promotional tool, LyricFind is investing in products like Rotor to help artists create dynamic visual content and leverage the power of lyrics in videos. The advent of autonomous driving will also create more opportunities for in-car entertainment and music engagement.For independent artists and labels, the key takeaway is that while the business model has changed, the opportunities for growth are abundant. Technology and streaming services have made music more accessible, and platforms like LyricFind continue to evolve to meet the needs of modern music creators.To explore more, independent artists can visit lyricfind.com for licensing information and tools like Lyric IQ, which analyses song lyrics for trends, moods, and themes. For video creation, RotorVideos.com offers tools for generating promotional content with synchronised lyrics. The evolving role of lyric licensing shows that while the industry is changing, the possibilities for innovation and revenue growth are still vast.

Follow along with me, Allen Hall, and IntelStor's Phil Totaro, as we discuss the weird, the wild, and the game changing ideas that will charge your energy future. All right, our first idea of the week is an adjustable rotor shaft assembly for wind turbines. And as we know, there's all kinds of issues with anything rotating equipment on a wind turbine. Particularly if it involves gears and teeth. Well, this idea from Flender describes an adjustable rotor shaft assembly for connecting a gearbox to the generator. And the key feature is it uses a curved tooth coupling with the releasable support element which allows the both ends to move relative to one another, which And a lot of wind turbines, if you've been up in them, there is a lot of movement at times, and it lets that misalignment not destroy. The assembly. And this is really slick because we have all kinds of issues, like I've said, on anything with teeth, on, on some of these bigger wind turbines as the, the blades get bigger and they get taller and everything's moving around. Phil, this makes a lot of sense. I'd be surprised if Flinders not using this already though. Philip Totaro: Yes, I would hope so. We haven't been able to confirm it, but presumably for the turbines with larger capacity gearboxes for the, the larger onshore machines and maybe even some of the offshore ones. I would hope that this technology is being utilized because it will absolutely help make a difference in kind of bending moment and gear misalignment issues which can create a lot of maintenance work for, for the turbines. While the services folks may not be happy about it because they might be losing some, losing some revenue opportunities the owners and operators absolutely would love this kind of technology to be implemented because it's it's going to allow for a gearbox to be able to, to be operated in a slightly wider loads window which is also kind of an interesting application to this because, even in a market like the U. S. where we know that a lot of owners and operators are, are kind of PTC farming. They're not just wind farming. And what that means is they want to be able to extract as much out of the turbine as they can. for the first 10 years of, of an asset life. A technology like this might actually be helpful in making sure that the gearbox lasts the full 10 years before you see any kind of major drop off in performance. So any technology where you can accommodate this kind of gear misalignment is going to be a good one for owners and operators and, and the gearbox manufacturers themselves. Joel Saxum: Yeah, I mean, if you have a small rigid component then you can have a fixed gear, fixed location. It's easy to keep it in line where you don't have a whole lot of crazy loads on it. But like, Allen was saying at the beginning of the section here, when you're bent,

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to use Writing Tools in iOS 18.1. Writing Tools, released as part of the first set of Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.1 is an impressive feature that allows users to rewrite text in different tones, such as friendly, professional, and concise, with an added proofread option.To use this feature, open the text you want to edit and highlight it. Within the Edit section of your Rotor, you'll find the Writing Tools option. Different tone options will appear for you to choose from. Select the desired tone, and iOS will automatically adjust the text accordingly. If you opt for the proofread option, it will check for grammatical and stylistic errors, providing suggestions for improvement. This feature makes it easier to tailor your writing for different contexts and ensure it's polished and effective.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Hello and welcome.My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.I'm going to be talking to you about an Apple Intelligent feature called the writing tools.Now this is one of my most favorite feature of the Apple Intelligent that Apple has to offer.Now in order to be able to use the Apple Intelligent, you must need the following iPhone criteria, which is iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or newer devices.If you have those devices, then you will earn luck.The first thing we need to do is make sure that Apple Intelligent is turned on.Simple enough to turn it on, you'll have to head over to your settings.So let's head over to settings, and let's do one finger double tap and open this.And now what we're looking for, we're looking for Apple Intelligent in Siri, so swipe to the right until you find that button.One finger double tap, open that.Now you may have heard the word beta.Well, at this time of the podcast that's being recorded, it is in beta.So Apple Intelligent is in beta at this moment.Now if you don't hear the beta, don't worry.That might mean that the beta is no longer in beta.So to make sure we are in the same place in this right area, let's go to the very top left hand corner where you have the back button.To get to there, you can either tap at the top left or use a forefinger tap on the top half of your device until you hear the back button.Now if you swipe to the right, that's where you heard the beta.Now in your case, if you don't hear the beta, have no worries, let's keep going to the right.Now we're into the Apple Intelligent section.Now if you go to the right here, a personal intelligence system integrated deeply into your iPhone apps and Siri, learn more link, use the rotor to access links.You can do that if you wish.If you want to find more information about the Apple Intelligent and all the features that has to offer, double tap that and I'll take you to the web page at Apple to talk to you about more about Apple Intelligent.But what we're looking for is the option to turn the Apple Intelligent on and that should be the next item up.If you go to the…

The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We as designers have an opportunity to do better. In this episode I speak with Maarten Gielen. Martin is an award-winning, Brussels based designer, researcher, professor, and leading practitioner changing the way materials are used in architecture, construction, and engineering. His curated exhibitions, including the 2010 Belgian pavilion of the Venice biennale, the groundbreaking 'Progress' with Rem Koolhaus (2011) and 'Behind the Green Door' for the Oslo Architecture Triennale (2013), underscore his ability to provoke critical dialogue and inspire change within the industry. Maarten, along with Tristan Boniver and Lionel Devlieger, co-founded Rotor in 2006—a collaborative design practice with a specific focus on material flows. Originally conceived as a private yet 'activist' studio aimed at influencing policy and driving change in Brussels' material economy, Rotor has since expanded its impact through various publications, exhibitions, and lectures, contributing significantly to the broader industry. In 2014, Maarten co-initiated commercial spin-off: Rotor Deconstruction, which dismantles, salvages, and sells reused building materials. Here he acted as director, growing the company to around 25 employees, until late 2023 when he shifted his focus to new projects and processes.  His latest initiative, 'Halfwerk,' explores the potential for reusing sheet metal and other materials, challenging traditional notions of waste and promoting local value chains. Maarten's expertise extends far beyond mere practical considerations. He approaches architectural sustainability from a holistic perspective, examining entire systems and supply chains to understand the broader implications of construction materials. He asks us to consider construction material as an object, with the same rigor in which we should consider the void in the landscape from which materials are extracted. To consider the transportation, the storing, the fixing, and the materials at the end of its first considered life. He suggests that construction materials are cultural products whose value extends far beyond the technical.  At the heart of Maarten's work lies a deep interest in reimagining the organization of the built environment. His concern regarding the tremendous quantity of materials we barely use and quickly waste has led to his determination to challenge the status quo and adapt the conventional business model to facilitate material salvage, waste reduction, and the establishment of a circular economy.  Through our conversation, we explore pressing questions surrounding the infrastructure and actions needed to prioritize reuse as a viable alternative to virgin materials and we query what kind of industry we need to build to allow architects to specify second hand materials with the same ease as new materials.

Each week we bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident, but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We as designers have an opportunity to do better. The built environment sector, notorious for its resource consumption and waste generation, faces a pivotal moment. In a world where 'away' is a luxury we can no longer afford, the linear economy's destructive ‘Take, Make, and Throw Away' model demands reconsideration and urgent action. In this episode, I speak with Victor Meesters, a Paris-based architect working with the Belgian collective Rotor. Since 2005, Rotor has operated as a multidisciplinary group of architects, designers, and other professionals interested in the processes that shape a building. Specifically, they are interested in the flow and transit of materials in the industrial and construction sector and the industry's relationship to resources, waste, use and reuse.  Their research is disseminated through publications, critical writing, workshops, and conferences. And they work with the expanded construction industry to produce exhibitions, books, economic models, and policy proposals.  On a practical level, they work to combine their research with the design and realization of architectural projects, coordinating large-scale dismantling operations of reusable construction elements and collaborating on architectural projects. Since 2014 their commercial spin off: Rotor DC ,or deconstruction, has been an active arm of the studio, which oversees deconstruction projects in end-of-life buildings with a view to finding them a new use. In practice, the team goes into buildings slated for demolition and sells off parts of those buildings. It documents building elements, creates a catalogue of the items, estimates how much it would cost to salvage the materials, and delivers them directly to the client. At the conception of the business, Rotor DC almost exclusively sold materials dismantled by its own workers, however the shop now also trades materials from several other suppliers such as demolition contractors and real estate companies. Back in June 2023, I got to explore the salvage yard and the store houses which surround the offices of Rotor and Rotor DC. They are based within the urban setting of Brussels. A tactical metropolitan locale, working with the studio's goals to become a central part of a regional ecosystem for large scale reuse. As I walked through the ‘house of doors', past the neat piles of salvaged stone, and through the aisles of plumbing fixtures, it was easy to understand the convenience and appeal of the organisation to ‘mum and dad' renovators, to other architectural studios, or to developers alike. The business is proud to announce that many of the stocked materials are cheaper than new for the same quality. Some materials may be equally expensive as new, but come with a great story, a deep patina or simply a clear conscience. And then, from time to time, they offer pieces or materials that were conceived by renowned designers, created by skilled craftsmen, or made using technologies now out of reach. On the day of my visit, there were pieces of a gothic cathedral from Antwerp available for someone to snap up, whilst later in the week I saw some rare and well-kept mid-century desks by an iconic local designer. These pieces are priced a bit higher, but Rotor notes their hope that the economies made with the more generic materials help bring them in reach of the many. In my conversation today, I speak with Victor about the realities of their processes and how Rotor has carved a niche for itself working at both ends of the theory- practical spectrum.  It was a joy to explores the birth as well as the afterlife of buildings and to touch on the impressive undertaking of the complex system of many stakeholders.

Even if you are a solid rotary fan it's hard not to appreciate the same level of detail and perfection that has gone into this LS-based S15 build.We'll discuss why Carl moved away from his 4 rotors (one of which now powers Rob Dahms AWD RX7 build) and towards the MoTeC M130-controlled LS V8 platform as he has gotten more serious about competing and doing full-season campaigns along with why he chose a naturally aspirated setup despite having a procharger bolted on at some point in time.The difference in power levels required for D1NZ and US series also pops up as well as the performance increases gained from his Dailey Engineering dry sump system and what the main driver displays and warnings he pays attention to during a competition run and interestingly why he went with a cast-iron LSX based block over the aluminium LS(x) blocks that are also able to handle sizeable power figures. 00:00 Intro00:25 Rotary Vs LSX01:31 Engine Specs02:10 Iron Vs Alloy Decision03:35 Procharger Vs N/A05:06 Procharger Powerband06:08 Dry Sump Setup07:02 30HP+ From Good Vacuum08:49 @MoTeCAustralia ECU, Indiindividual cylinder fuel delivery10:55 Dash Display Settings12:21 Drivetrain14:00 Diff, SuspensionTo get power to the ground the car runs a Holinger Engineering RD6 sequential, Tilton bell housing, flywheel and triple-plate carbon clutch leading to the Winters 25cm IRS quick-change and 35-spline stub axles.A MoTeC M130, PDM30 and C125 logger/dash display and EMtron ETC4's (for individual cylinder monitoring) round up the electronics side of things and giving Carl the ability to clutchless shift off the line.
