Calling all innovators!

On Wednesday, July 18th, we will celebrate the 7th Anniversary of Silicon Valley Innovation Institute. We’ve built an amazing community here at SVII, full of brilliant and talented innovators. So, for our anniversary party, we want the spotlight to be on YOU!

This event will be a time to showcase our membership through their art, music, and creativity. It will also be a time for the SVII family to get to know one another and for you to let us know how we can better serve you this coming year.

So music, art, dance, poetry, spoken word, film… all is fair game. Plus, we will be offering a nearly 50% discount on our Dinner + Program ticket (just $22!) to all who are bold enough to share your talent and are selected to be a part of the program!

So why hesitate? Let us do what we do best, and spur one another on to new heights of creativity. Fill in the form below, and we will be in touch!

JUNE 18th 2012: Jason Marsh demonstrating Rapid Iteration in Live Music Performance

admin

Last month, SVII hosted an event focused on the concept of rapid iteration–which is a quick production cycle of something for the sake of quickly adjusting as you see the results of previous cycle. That may seem complicated, but it just means that you figure out how to do something better while you are doing it, and you figure it out rapidly.

Here is one of our presenters, Jason Marsh, demonstrating rapid iteration in the form of musical performance:

JUNE 20th 2012: How is Technology Changing Music?

admin

With so much improvement occuring rapidly in technology and software many industries are struggling to keep up. The same cannot be said for the music industry, or can it? SVII brings together a panel of five individuals each with their own unique experiences in the worlds of music, invention and technology to discuss the future relationship between technology and music.

* New Venue: Angelica’s Bell Theatre & Bistro, Redwood City 

 century ago, technology brought recorded music to everyone. Since then, it has put your record collection in your pocket and a recording studio in your home. The internet changes the way music is marketed and disrupts old business models.

But in the next decade, there is a still bigger change coming. The confluence of cloud services and mobile phones and other technologies are enabling new ways to create music, share it, learn and practice, rehearse, compose, collaborate and perform.

We have put together an amazing panel of musicians, inventors and technologists. Their shared backgrounds span music genres from  60’s Rock to avant-garde Jazz to Bluegrass, and technologies from tube amplifiers to mobile devices, cloud services and computer music. (Be sure to check out their fascinating bios below!)

Join us for an interactive discussion of the future of music and the direction of technology for musical expression!
