Women's Music Biz Assoc. Holds Mental Wellness EventThe Women’s Music Business Association held a public event for the Nashville community focused on empowering mental wellness last month (5/23) at the Hilton Green Hills. Katharine Poole from MRow Network moderated the “Mindset Matters" - Mental Health Workshop & Panel that featured Tatum Allsep, founder and CEO of The Mental Health Alliance, Lauren Conklin and Jessie Louverture, co-founders of the Mental Health Initiative and Tina Marie Sanders, founder of Tina Marie Manifestation. These wellness ambassadors shared personal stories with their medical & mental health experiences which led to creating organizations that provide awareness, access to financial resources, tools to manage mental health and communities that support that journey.

"Mental Wellness is extremely important for me as I have been on my own mental health journey for decades. It's my responsibility as a leader to create safe spaces like this so that conversations can happen," shares WMBA’s President Virginia P. Brick. "For me, I got to witness people just showing up for themselves. But hearing them express the event made them feel seen and heard while leaving with tangible resources of hope. That's impact. It was an incredible event." 

Expanding on WMBA’s wellness vision, the "Mindset Matters" -  Mental Health Panel will be featured on MRow Network Salutary Row Podcast. This special edition episode will be available July 1, 2023, and highlights Salutary Row Host KW Poole’s interviews with empowering women of mental health advocacy at the inaugural event.

Moog Releases New Episode of GIANTS Synth History Documentary SeriesGIANTS is a platform for legendary electronic musicians and innovators to express themselves through the art of storytelling. The artists in this series have left an indelible impact on electronic music history and culture, and their contributions have pushed the artform and industry forward. They are the “giants” whose shoulders we stand on—the pioneers who propelled synthesizers and analog instruments into the mainstream many years ago. Watch the newest episode, centered on early synthesizer pioneer Bernie Krause, here.

Following an entertaining and insightful first episode of the series about Moog synthesizer co-inventor Herb Deutsch, this second installment of GIANTS focuses on soundscape ecologist and bio-acoustician Bernie Krause. Once a Motown session guitarist intrigued by early advancements in the world of electronic music, the artist’s first Moog modular synthesizer encounter in 1965 led him to develop a new understanding of sound and musical expression. It was this understanding and early adoption of the instrument—co-owning one of the very first models—that helped Bernie and his musical partner Paul Beaver introduce the Moog synthesizer to the likes of George Harrison, The Monkees, The Byrds, and The Rolling Stones. 

Krause shares his story in the latest episode of Moog Music’s GIANTS docuseries. Watch the episode here.

The Village Recorders Hosts Women In Music's Shoptalk 102The Village Studios, long recognized for promoting women’s careers in production, recently hosted the Los Angeles Chapter of Women In Music’s Shoptalk 102, the second in a series of workshops about the technical basics of audio recording and the terminology of the control room.

Moderated by producer Lenise Bent, and assisted by engineer Jasmine Mills, the panel was curated by The Village Studios manager Tina Morris and offered wisdom from veteran engineer/producers Vanessa Wormer and Alise Laymac, as well as insight from newer staff members Nicole Schmidt and Hannah Samuels.

Organizer Kathleen Wirt, who hosted Shoptalk 101 at 4th Street Recording, said “Most female artists are still working in studios with an all-male production crew and are hesitant to ask about the aspects of the process that they don’t fully understand. Shoptalk serves toempower female artists in their recording sessions by providing a safe space where they can ask women engineers and producers any question without judgment. The comments we had afterwards were universally and enthusiastically positive, with many attendees sharing their personal experiences and expressing how grateful they were for the knowledge they had gained.”
