Anemoia
No full textAs we accumulate memories, experiences, and years, we naturally view our lives as a linear journey—one event happens, fades away, and a new one occurs. It\u27s difficult to grasp the reality of past events if they exist only in our memories. What if something that defines your truth is something you never actually get to experience? Can we try to live it through someone else or some other medium? Despite this perception, we are not linear beings. Who we are today is shaped by every moment and experience we\u27ve collected over our lifetimes. Film’s desire to blend experiences and identities from various stages of her life led to the creation of “Anemoia,” a project aimed at translating the human experience—both personal and collective—into a cohesive body of work.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-cmat/1075/thumbnail.jp

Make It Make Sense
No full text“Make It Make Sense” is the Culminating Experience turned EP that is created off of the concept to make sense of the experiences and emotions Marina encountered throughout her time at BerkleeNYC.

The purpose of Make It Make Sense is to set the stage for Marina’s career goals: Convey her lyrical ability to create songs that are both complex and digestible for a listener while showcasing her newfound production skills and the other skills she has developed from her specialization in “Songwriting and Production”. In addition, Marina wants to create a sense of belonging for people who have experienced feelings of shame, regret, and longing for concepts, such as a city or a person, that didn’t want them back.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-cmat/1098/thumbnail.jp

Production Manager / Concert Producer - INOCON 2024
No full textAs Concert Producer for INOCON, my primary tasks were to build and manage artists relations, oversee production and technical requirements of the performances (with the Berklee Production Team) and to organise deadlines and schedules. Being experienced in the field of performance and event production, this seemed like a good opportunity for me to build on these pre-existing skills and leverage them in a very unique atmosphere. This project has instilled amazing skills in me - patience and quick thinking - to name a few. It was also a good opportunity for me to understand the power of teamwork and work with people from very different backgrounds. The diversity of our executive team, supervisors and every participant significantly added to my experience working on this project and at Berklee.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-global-entertainment-business/1357/thumbnail.jp
The Missed Potential of Neighbouring Rights Collection in Luxembourg: A Comprehensive Study of Perspectives
No full textLuxembourg, the host of the ECJ, violates the statutory rights of performers and record producers by failing to enforce domestic collective management of neighbouring rights. Consequently, Luxembourg misses a major opportunity to create a level playing field and sustainable income for its music industry. This research aims to guide the implementation of neighbouring rights collection using a mixed-method approach. Quantitatively, it estimates the potential collection by comparing neighbouring and author right collections across European territories and applying their average ratios to the author right collections of SACEM Luxembourg. Qualitatively, it explores stakeholders\u27 perspectives on challenges and best practices linked to collective management of neighbouring rights in Luxembourg through interviews with 17 stakeholders, including a Grammy-winning performer and CMO executives. The study estimates a potential annual collection between €1.2 and €1.9 million, while these results are highly dependent on tariff negotiations. Recommendations include forming a union, collaborating with international organizations, and leveraging technology. Further research is necessary to determine the optimal structure for a CMO, but this study suggests that a small local representation could effectively operate by outsourcing most services to existing CMOs or private IT companies. This research underscores the urgency for policymakers to implement a robust collection system and provides a foundation for future initiatives in Luxembourg\u27s music industry.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-global-entertainment-business/1358/thumbnail.jp
