Greetings, LG!
I'm flying to NYC this week - sadly, for my mom's funeral - and was
wondering what Jes availability might be re: meeting Sat/Sun. If
unavailable those days but available Mon 4/8 morning, that would be
possible too.
Gratefully,
Mark

Hi L - Thought I'd resend this summary

Thanks! M
********************
Hi LG - as we just discussed.sorry it's so long-winded - I'm sure you
can edit verbally to size! I'm attaching an
updated CV too in case you think that's a
good idea.
•••Where things stand in 2012 -
- have contract w/ Oxford Univ Press to write first textbook in field,
Cognitive Neuroscience of Music
(complements first-ever course, started at
Harvard in 90s, Music Mind & Brain - see
www.BrainMusic.org/Education), looking
for support that would provide time to
complete text in 2013 side-by-side with -
- "Why Music? Mind, Brain & Human Sociobiology" - signed w/ Kris
Dahl of ICM Talent, NY Times best-seller
agent (chose her over Brockman, Stroan).
She says based on my track record (CV
attached), pioneer status in field, public
relations history, and not factoring in trade
book and potential music boost (below), she
expects six-figure advance
- book tour in US and Europe expected after release "Why Music?" in
2014
- recorded song at Universal Music studios - co-wrote and performed
(vocals, guitars) with "Hit-Boy" - Chauncey
Hollis, producer/writer for Beyonce, Kanye
West, Jay-Z, L'il Wayne (top secret at the
EFTA_R1_00799503
EFTA02143334
moment); can You-Tube search Hit-Boy
interviews and recent Top-10 hit "Niggas in
Paris".
- song passed two auditions at A&R, Universal Music publishing -
Tom Sturges, Executive VP/Head of
Creative sent to Lome Michaels for Andy
Samberg and Lonely Island to do, but
Samberg left SNL, LI broke up; then Assoc
Director gonna pitched to Beastie Boys but
lead Adam Yauch died; so "Prof T" is doing
it with engineer/producer Stan Malveaux
(regular at Universal, recently worked with
Patti LaBelle, Janet Jackson's producers,
many others).
- now set to make video, record in final production/mastering stage,
more songs to A&R needed and publishing
contract in reach;
- meanwhile, totally unrelated: vinyl of 70's rock musical (now called
"70s indie psychedelic folk/rock - huh?)
rediscovered by NY DJ, now being
auctioned on web for $500! M has gotten
emails over from Japan, France, Denmark,
US asking for LP over past 5-10 yrs. Could
be placed with indie label, eg Sundazed
Records or better.
***Aims for 2013-14 are:
- to publish with Oxford "Cognitive Neuroscience of Music" textbook
for scientists working in the field and the
increasing number of professor and students
studying the psychology and neuroscience of
music (and visiting The Institute's webstite
and eLibrary, which continue to grow
- to publish with Random House or a similar house "Why Music? Mind
Brain & Human Sociobiology" for a general
audience that will make comparisons with
Levitin's book unfair (note: the only Fig of
the brain in that book is M's from Science
pub) and set the stage for Tramo to succeed
Sachs in the wake of the latter's passing. Get
$100k - $200k advance in 2013 with
substantial proposal - feasible per Kris Dahl
EFTA_R1_00799564
EFTA02143335
- to publish a (hit) record and video on iTunes and YouTube with
Beyonce/Kanyes producer Chauncey Hollis,
follow-up w/ 1-2 records/videos, sign
contract with publisher, possibly (indie) label
- do an unprecedented, crossover, book/small-venue concert tour in
universities around the US and Europe in
2014-5

Gotta be high with

I'm flying into Manhattan
12/22 for a week or so and

of "mavericky" kinda stuff
going on in that I'd like to
tell him about (and play for
him) in person - if you have a
number I could call you at
later today (my cellphone got
wiped at the MRI Suite!) I
could explain to you what's
happening so perhaps you could
give me some feedback and
advice.
cheers,
