The Quadri Project Launches Its Website To Promote Rock Musicians

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 11, 2011

Vicenza, Italy – Alberto Quadri, rock musician and internet music collaborator, has launched his website The Quadri Project. As a well-known bass player in various music communities, Quadri wants to open his door to other rock musicians around the world with the intention of giving them a little additional promotion.

According to Quadri, It’s extremely difficult to get noticed these days as there are more bands than ever before vying for fans. And, with the internet’s ability to let any band go international, the more places you can expose your music, the better your chances.

As a regular music collaborator, Quadri creates music with musicians through virtual studios and calls Kompoz his recording studio away from home. He’s offering all his personal music on his website as freedownloads and these are definitely worth checking out. “I’m open to any collaboration, live or online, and currently work with musicians from around the world, so please send me an email and let’s talk about your project he says.

For those rockers interested in a little more promotion, Quadri will set up a band biography on his page with links to your sites and will push you through his social networks, at no charge to you. The site will be up and running on Wednesday May 11th .

Alberto Quadri, born and raised in Vicenza, Italy in the early 70s, has been immersed in music since the age of 12. Some of his greatest influences were the artists of that era: Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. His favorite concert was Ozzy Osbourne and not because Ozzy was a Crazy Man but because he played from his soul and didnt need any special effects to put on an incredible show. It was just him with his music, face to face with hundreds of screaming fans. You know true talent when the flashing lights, smoke and special effects get in the way of heart and soul and pure energy.

For the last three years, Alberto has been going full tilt with his music. The first two in a band called 5 in Condotta. In Italian that means you are not good at school, playing Cranberries Cover. He currently plays with the band Baby, I’m Bored doing covers from Dandy Warhols, Republica, Holes, Caridgans and others. And, through the virtual studio Kompoz creating original songs.

For additional information or to become part of the network, contact Alberto: alberto@quadriproject.com

San Francisco Symphony Orchestra’s Keeping Score Website Nominated for Webby Award

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / April 15, 2010

SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY’S KEEPING SCORE WEBSITE NOMINATED FOR BEST EDUCATION SITE IN 14TH ANNUAL WEBBY AWARDS

Fans can vote online to help KeepingScore.org win the Web’s top honor

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, April 15, 2010 – The San Francisco Symphony’s Keeping Score website (www.keepingscore.org) has been nominated for Best Education Site in the 14th Annual Webby Awards. Hailed as the “Internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times, the Webby Award is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Web.

The KeepingScore.org website was launched in 2006 and redesigned in 2009 to accompany the SF Symphony’s PBS-TV Keeping Score documentary series, hosted by Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas. KeepingScore.org explores the music and stories of some of the world’s most groundbreaking composers. Designed to appeal to high school and college age students and their teachers, KeepingScore.org also appeals to music lovers of all ages who want to learn more about classical music. Composers Ludwig van Beethoven, Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Hector Berlioz, Charles Ives and Dmitri Shostakovich are featured on the site.

The richly interactive site enables users to follow scores for Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony and Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony, as explanatory text and graphics unfold in time with the recordings. Exercises and games on the site allow the visitor to manipulate melody, balance, and other musical elements of a particular piece, or to play a simple conducting game led by Tilson Thomas to Stravinsky’s music, among other highlights. KeepingScore.org also makes use of extensive audio and video to explore the composers’ pertinent musical techniques as well as their personal stories. An historical timeline takes users deep into the composers’ political, social, and cultural worlds. KeepingScore.org is also a free, deep resource for teachers, and offers free downloadable lesson plans created by educators who have experienced the Keeping Score Education program. The website was developed by Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony staff, with the guidance of musicologists and educators, and web development firm Rolling Orange of San Mateo, CA.

“Nominees like KeepingScore.org are setting the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet,” said David-Michel Davies, executive director of the Webby Awards. “It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the nearly 10,000 entries we received this year.”

As a nominee, KeepingScore.org is also eligible to win a Webby People’s Voice Award, the winners of which are chosen by the global Web community through online voting. From now until April 29, KeepingScore.org fans can cast their votes in The Webby People’s Voice Awards at http://webby.aol.com/society/education

Other education sites nominated are Unit 9’s Simple Machines for the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry; Aol’s We Choose the Moon; Your Life, Your Money by WNED/PBS.org; and the National Film Board of Canada’s Waterlife.nfb.ca. The YouTube Symphony Orchestra website was also nominated in the Music category. Tilson Thomas was deeply involved in that project, helping choose musicians who auditioned through video on the site, and leading the orchestra’s performance at Carnegie Hall last April.

Webby winners will be announced on May 4 and honored at a star-studded ceremony in New York City on June 14, where they will have an opportunity to deliver one of The Webby Awards’ famous five-word speeches. Past Webby Award winners—and their speeches—include Al Gore (“Please don’t recount this vote.”), Stephen Colbert (“Me. Me. Me. Me. Me.”), and Michel Gondry (“Keyboards are full of germs.”).

The Webby Awards is presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 650-person judging academy whose members include Internet co-inventor Vinton Cerf, R/GA’s Chief Bob Greenberg, “The Simpsons” creator Matt Groening, Arianna Huffington, and Harvey Weinstein.
