Hey
How's that Holiday spirit?
Gotta be high with
in da house!
I'm flying into Manhattan 12/22 for a week or so and would love to see JE and his right hand. will he and you be around? There's a fair amount 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,
Mark
Hi Mark...sorry for delay...was out of town and digging out of emails! Did Jeffrey and you ever connect? I can remind him again you would like to catch up if you did not! My phone number at the office is 212 750 9895...

Hi L - Thought I'd resend this summary email w/ attachment as it's been a week or so - 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_00799563
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 Lorne 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

support/time to write proposal, start

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
