To him, none of the traditional notation styles incorporated the musician’s life — their internal experiences, emotions and references — so he started researching, digging through other musician’s scores and music history books. He came up with the building blocks of Ankhrasmation, a series of units which includes rhythm-units, improvisation-units, and velocity units, which dictate the speed of a piece. Musicians study an Ankhrasmation piece and determine for themselves what the colors and symbols — things like eyes, boats and pyramids — mean to them personally, and then bring that knowledge with them to a performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Smith taught Ankhrasmation to other musicians, his students at Cal Arts (where he was a professor until 2013), and to the members of his ensembles. It can be slow going, he admits. But it’s a way for the members of his groups — he’s currently the bandleader of five — to add their personality and experiences into a piece, rather than the music serving as Smith’s solitary vision. When musicians research the piece and form their interpretation, they’re instructed to not share it with the rest of the group, which Smith believes dilutes the experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like cooking some rice,” he says. “You put five to six kinds of rices in there, after a while none of the rices have any identity. That research makes every individual in the circle of that performance unique — they have something that’s going to add to the mosaic construction of this piece.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12428535\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12428535\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-800x596.jpg\" alt=\"Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith's score for "Sarhanna."\" width=\"800\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-800x596.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-160x119.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-768x572.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-1020x760.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-1920x1431.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-1180x879.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-960x715.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-240x179.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-375x279.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-520x387.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith’s score for “Sarhanna.” \u003ccite>(Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>About a decade ago, people approached Smith about showing his scores in museums. He agreed, but quickly grew disenchanted with the way they were lumped in with other visual scores. He held back on showing them until a few years ago, when he worked with museums like UCLA’s Hammer Museum and Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art to show it them in their proper context. On Dec. 14, he’ll be introducing an exhibition of his scores at the Kadist in San Francisco, and on Dec. 17, he’ll join a four-person ensemble for a performance of his Four Symphonies. The group hasn’t played it before, and the day before, they’ll play through its Ankhrasmation score, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/projects/2016/12/17/wadada-leo-smith-four-symphonies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resembles the sun\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith says ideally, visitors who see his scores in museums would also hear the scores they’re looking at. He wants people to experience the translation of Ankhrasmation to music, and to think about their interpretation of a piece’s colors and flourishes as they listen. But he insists that you don’t have to be a musician, let alone an expert in avant-garde jazz, to get something from Ankhrasmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The biggest lesson from this is whatever your dreams are, like Bob Marley said a long time ago, make them happen,” he says. “Although the people viewing it don’t have the key or the skills of materializing [it] as a piece of music, it still makes perfectly normal sense to think about a score as a creation. And therefore when we witness it, or become connected with it as viewers, it also does something for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The exhibition of Smith’s scores takes place Wednesday, Dec. 14, at The Kadist, from 6-8pm.

He started racking up awards, becoming a Guggenheim Fellow in 2009 and a 2013 Pulitzer finalist for his album about the civil rights movement, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFvCjG1wAxc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Ten Freedom Summers\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12428534\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12428534\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-800x1015.jpg\" alt=\"Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith's score for "Sarhanna."\" width=\"800\" height=\"1015\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-800x1015.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-160x203.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-768x975.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-1020x1295.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-1920x2437.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-1180x1498.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-960x1219.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-240x305.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-375x476.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214-520x660.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Pacifica_cVsD_9214.jpg 1614w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith’s score for “Pacifica.” \u003ccite>(Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He started creating Ankhrasmation in 1967. To him, none of the traditional notation styles incorporated the musician’s life — their internal experiences, emotions and references — so he started researching, digging through other musician’s scores and music history books. He came up with the building blocks of Ankhrasmation, a series of units which includes rhythm-units, improvisation-units, and velocity units, which dictate the speed of a piece. Musicians study an Ankhrasmation piece and determine for themselves what the colors and symbols — things like eyes, boats and pyramids — mean to them personally, and then bring that knowledge with them to a performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It can be slow going, he admits. But it’s a way for the members of his groups — he’s currently the bandleader of five — to add their personality and experiences into a piece, rather than the music serving as Smith’s solitary vision. When musicians research the piece and form their interpretation, they’re instructed to not share it with the rest of the group, which Smith believes dilutes the experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like cooking some rice,” he says. “You put five to six kinds of rices in there, after a while none of the rices have any identity. That research makes every individual in the circle of that performance unique — they have something that’s going to add to the mosaic construction of this piece.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12428535\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12428535\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-800x596.jpg\" alt=\"Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith's score for "Sarhanna."\" width=\"800\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-800x596.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-160x119.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-768x572.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-1020x760.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-1920x1431.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-1180x879.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-960x715.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-240x179.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-375x279.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206-520x387.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Sarhanna_cVsD_9206.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith’s score for “Sarhanna.” \u003ccite>(Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>About a decade ago, people approached Smith about showing his scores in museums. He agreed, but quickly grew disenchanted with the way they were lumped in with other visual scores. He held back on showing them until a few years ago, when he worked with museums like UCLA’s Hammer Museum and Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art to show it them in their proper context. On Dec. 14, he’ll be introducing an exhibition of his scores at the Kadist in San Francisco, and on Dec. 17, he’ll join a four-person ensemble for a performance of his Four Symphonies. The group hasn’t played it before, and the day before, they’ll play through its Ankhrasmation score, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/projects/2016/12/17/wadada-leo-smith-four-symphonies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resembles the sun\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith says ideally, visitors who see his scores in museums would also hear the scores they’re looking at. He wants people to experience the translation of Ankhrasmation to music, and to think about their interpretation of a piece’s colors and flourishes as they listen. But he insists that you don’t have to be a musician, let alone an expert in avant-garde jazz, to get something from Ankhrasmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The biggest lesson from this is whatever your dreams are, like Bob Marley said a long time ago, make them happen,” he says. “Although the people viewing it don’t have the key or the skills of materializing [it] as a piece of music, it still makes perfectly normal sense to think about a score as a creation. And therefore when we witness it, or become connected with it as viewers, it also does something for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The exhibition of Smith’s scores takes place Wednesday, Dec. 14, at The Kadist, from 6-8pm.

At the moment, 33 are confirmed dead, with search crews still sorting through the ashes of the site.

For the tormented queer, the bullied punk, the beaten trans, the spat-upon white trash, the disenfranchised immigrants and young people of color, these spaces are a haven of understanding in a world that doesn’t understand — or can’t, or doesn’t seem to want to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first such space in Oakland I came across, in 1994, was Phoenix Ironworks, a giant former foundry in West Oakland cluttered with furniture, mannequins, makeshift structures, and large-scale, incredible art around every corner.

At the moment, 33 are confirmed dead, with search crews still sorting through the ashes of the site. As stories and details of the fire are shared, and while thousands await news of missing loved ones, a phrase keeps coming up: “It could have been any one of us.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those of us involved in artist spaces one way or another, the tragedy is impossible to process. \u003cem>I, too, have been inside a warehouse like that\u003c/em>, we think, \u003cem>living, working, dancing into the night\u003c/em>. According to the Oakland Fire Department, this fire has taken more lives than any in the city’s history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet for many of us, these spaces are what have kept us alive. In a world that demands its inhabitants to be a certain way, think a certain way, or live a certain way, we gravitate to the spaces that say: Welcome. Be yourself. For the tormented queer, the bullied punk, the beaten trans, the spat-upon white trash, the disenfranchised immigrants and young people of color, these spaces are a haven of understanding in a world that doesn’t understand — or can’t, or doesn’t seem to want to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first such space in Oakland I came across, in 1994, was Phoenix Ironworks, a giant former foundry in West Oakland cluttered with furniture, mannequins, makeshift structures, and large-scale, incredible art around every corner. A skate ramp owned by the editor of \u003cem>Thrasher\u003c/em> took up part of the space; most of it was \u003ca href=\"http://www.immortalpiano.com/ancient-history/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a labyrinth of over 50 pianos forming walls and hallways\u003c/a>. Parties at Phoenix Ironworks were the stuff of legend: bands played, and, if the mood was right, a giant Tesla coil would be wheeled out into 8th and Pine Streets to create loud, bright lightning across the sky on the furthest forgotten edge of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12438542\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/PhoenixIronworks-800x413.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Phoenix Ironworks in Oakland's Bottoms, circa 1990.\" width=\"800\" height=\"413\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12438542\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/PhoenixIronworks-800x413.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/PhoenixIronworks-160x83.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/PhoenixIronworks-768x396.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/PhoenixIronworks-240x124.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/PhoenixIronworks-375x194.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/PhoenixIronworks-520x268.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/PhoenixIronworks.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Phoenix Ironworks in Oakland’s Bottoms, circa 1990. \u003ccite>(Images via Immortal Piano Co.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I spent long hours inside Phoenix Ironworks, rehearsing with my band and getting to know its residents.

Firefighters planned to re-enter the building after securing unstable walls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoffmann said that when firefighters initially arrived on the scene, they were able to enter the building and got about 20 yards in with handlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We knew there were people in there and we were trying to get them out,\" he said. \"It was just a labyrinth of little areas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said there appeared to be a single staircase, apparently constructed out of wood. When firefighters arrived, that staircase was on fire and \"not viable to be used to access the second floor.\" There was also no evidence of sprinklers and the building reportedly had two exits, according to Hoffmann.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initial reports show that the roof collapsed onto the second floor and \"in many areas, the second floor collapsed onto the first floor, further complicating our efforts to enter the building,\" Hoffmann said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Darin Ranelletti, director of planning and building for the City of Oakland, said, \"the last designated use of the building was as a warehouse.\" The city had received reports that people were living there but officials were still investigating and trying to confirm that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After receiving complaints of blight and unpermitted construction on the property, an investigation was opened on Nov. 13. On Nov. 17, the city attempted to send an investigator to the building, but were unable to enter the premises, Ranelletti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ranelletti added that a city-issued permit would have been required to throw a party at the address and that none had been issued for Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The warehouse is owned by Chor Ng and is owned through the Chor N S Ng trust. Chor Ng has owned the building since 1997, and is listed as owner of a total of nine buildings in Oakland, including two near the warehouse: 1305 31st Ave. and 3073 International Blvd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-ln-oakland-warehouse-fire-live-owner-of-oakland-warehouse-says-no-one-1480800502-htmlstory.html\"> L.A.

Even as an undergraduate, Brautbar made a point to befriend the student filmmakers at USC’s Cinematic Arts school. That’s how he met director Reuben Guberek and producer Jacqueline Walukas, who told him about their dream project: a stylized spoof of \u003cem>Goodfellas\u003c/em>, set in the fast food industry. Brautbar offered his services for their soundtrack, thinking nothing would come from it. But he heard back from the production team a few months later, after the project was greenlit as Guberek’s thesis film, \u003cem>Foodfellas\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guberek explained his vision for the film, and Brautbar immediately thought: \u003cem>Scarface\u003c/em>. “There’s something dirty about that \u003cem>Scarface\u003c/em> soundtrack,” he says. “Glossy and dirty.” For inspiration, Brautbar and Walukus spend a weekend watching the infamous Al Pacino flick. The result is six synth-heavy tracks that capture the “King of Burgers” rise from grill cook to fast-food gangster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6KYmzQ7maU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was always happy to go in a new direction or tweak the piece until it was right,” Guberek says of working with Brautbar. “And in the end I always felt that he nailed it.” (The director’s favorite track is “The Customer is Always Right.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since \u003cem>Foodfellas\u003c/em>, Brautbar has composed music for more than a dozen undergraduate and graduate USC films. (“That’s the best part about going to USC: There are people making movies there,” he says.) He also won a coveted 2016 Sundance Institute Fellowship in the Music and Sound Design Labs, an eight-day experience he likens to “creative camp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brautbar’s words of advice to future film composers: Be somebody that people want to work with. That can be tough, since composers are weird, he admits. “We’re shy or sometimes we’re very precious about our music,” he says. “You’ve got to let all of that go, because when you’re working on a film, the director is your boss and you’re providing a service for your boss.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The world is oversaturated with talented people, talented composers,” he adds. “I think at the end of the day, people want to work with people they like to be around.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Even as an undergraduate, Brautbar made a point to befriend the student filmmakers at USC’s Cinematic Arts school. That’s how he met director Reuben Guberek and producer Jacqueline Walukas, who told him about their dream project: a stylized spoof of \u003cem>Goodfellas\u003c/em>, set in the fast food industry. Brautbar offered his services for their soundtrack, thinking nothing would come from it. But he heard back from the production team a few months later, after the project was greenlit as Guberek’s thesis film, \u003cem>Foodfellas\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guberek explained his vision for the film, and Brautbar immediately thought: \u003cem>Scarface\u003c/em>. “There’s something dirty about that \u003cem>Scarface\u003c/em> soundtrack,” he says. “Glossy and dirty.” For inspiration, Brautbar and Walukus spend a weekend watching the infamous Al Pacino flick. The result is six synth-heavy tracks that capture the “King of Burgers” rise from grill cook to fast-food gangster.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/x6KYmzQ7maU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/x6KYmzQ7maU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“He was always happy to go in a new direction or tweak the piece until it was right,” Guberek says of working with Brautbar. “And in the end I always felt that he nailed it.” (The director’s favorite track is “The Customer is Always Right.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since \u003cem>Foodfellas\u003c/em>, Brautbar has composed music for more than a dozen undergraduate and graduate USC films. (“That’s the best part about going to USC: There are people making movies there,” he says.) He also won a coveted 2016 Sundance Institute Fellowship in the Music and Sound Design Labs, an eight-day experience he likens to “creative camp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brautbar’s words of advice to future film composers: Be somebody that people want to work with. That can be tough, since composers are weird, he admits. “We’re shy or sometimes we’re very precious about our music,” he says. “You’ve got to let all of that go, because when you’re working on a film, the director is your boss and you’re providing a service for your boss.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The world is oversaturated with talented people, talented composers,” he adds. “I think at the end of the day, people want to work with people they like to be around.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But don’t overlook Cirque du Soleil’s gorgeous, extravagant and funny \u003cem>Luzia. \u003c/em>Just note that the death of stage technician Olivier Rochette on Tuesday night (Nov. 29) has forced the company to suspend performances for a few days.

But it’s in the same way folk-protest singer\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Ochs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Phil Ochs \u003c/a>was off; it doesn’t matter because the songs are so full of heart and humanity. He and his bandmate and wife Rennie (who writes the surreal, sometimes somber lyrics) got a huge boost when \u003ca href=\"http://www.hbo.com/true-detective\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HBO’s \u003cem>True Detective\u003c/em>\u003c/a> made their single “Far From Any Road” the theme song for the show’s first season. They live in Albuquerque, and don’t like to tour much, but they’ve got a 10th album with songs, Rennie says, about “things we cannot see,” and it’s terrific.

But I have an antidote for this week: comedian Jackie Kashian. She’s a smart, funny woman who likes to gently poke white privilege and nerdiness.

As our producer Suzie Racho says, he looks a walking heart attack, so catch him before he self-destructs.

She’s prolific, profound, and often funny. She’s got a new show, co-written with \u003ca href=\"http://zff.org/announcements/margot-melcon-joins-zff/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Margot Melcon\u003c/a>, called \u003cem>Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley\u003c/em>. It’s an update on Jane Austen’s \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Pride and Prejudice\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and Gunderson says it’s her and Melcon’s stab at the perfect Christmas play — a witty love story, set during the Christmas season, blending sentiment and smarts. And yes, it’s a bit of an escape from the anxieties of this past election season. “But the day after the election, going into rehearsal,” Gunderson tells me by phone, “we realized this play is more appropriate in part because it is still rare to have a lot of women on stage not talking about men, but talking about their own futures, their own agency, their own ambitions, and their own hearts.” Details for \u003cem>Miss Bennet\u003c/em> at Marin Theatre Co. are \u003ca href=\"http://www.marintheatre.org/productions/miss-bennet-christmas-at-pemberly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1G_5cDlWeM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dec. 8\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesheltersmusic.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Shelters\u003c/a> sound a little like the Byrds, the Beatles and a bit of the Allman Brothers all mixed together. Sebastian Harris, Josh Jove, Jacob Pillot, and Chase Simpson make classic rock ‘n’ roll, something we don’t really hear all that often these days. They also have an ace in the hole; their new album was produced by \u003ca href=\"http://www.tompetty.com/?frontpage=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Petty\u003c/a>, who was so impressed with the band that he produced their new album in his home studio.

And yes, it’s a bit of an escape from the anxieties of this past election season. “But the day after the election, going into rehearsal,” Gunderson tells me by phone, “we realized this play is more appropriate in part because it is still rare to have a lot of women on stage not talking about men, but talking about their own futures, their own agency, their own ambitions, and their own hearts.” Details for \u003cem>Miss Bennet\u003c/em> at Marin Theatre Co. are \u003ca href=\"http://www.marintheatre.org/productions/miss-bennet-christmas-at-pemberly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1G_5cDlWeM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/w1G_5cDlWeM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dec. 8\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesheltersmusic.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Shelters\u003c/a> sound a little like the Byrds, the Beatles and a bit of the Allman Brothers all mixed together.
