Chance Studios & Entertainment

Chance Studios & Entertainment Because everyone deserves a Chance... Working with Chicago artists O.N.E.

Chance Studios & Entertainment started as Chance Records in 1998 in the small, once remembered for vaudeville, town of Peoria, IL. Peoria/Chillicothe now hosts Summer Camp Music Festival which is a successful modern Music Festival which brings 15,000 attendees, hosting more than 100 bands on 7 stages over 4 days. Chance Records was started in the heart of Peoria, IL to give a chance to those who w

ere amazing talented, but just couldn't cut it in academics. There were brilliant students who could build a flying car, but auto-mechanics wasn't a groundhold and cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, and The Roman Empire were causing them to Fail. Ultimately in our educational system when you have (F)ailures you are looked down upon, and hope for a minimum wage job unless you pull a rabbit out of a hat. Seeing so much talent, skill, and need for change, we opened the doors to Chance Records which was a recording studio/label run on nothing more than a radio shack microphone and an old computer with Cakewalk 7. As the years progressed, Chance Records grew to over 300 artists, many mixtapes, albums, and recordings in mostly the Rap, Hip-Hop, and RnB genres. Recording and producing such names as Bad Conscience, Sleep Folkz, Distrikt 87, Young Fab, Shorty Lil Duke, YnR, Catch 22, D.I. Blue Flame, Teddy G, Smoke, Killah Twigg, Thugg Enterprises, Hidden Infantry, and about 350 other aspiring musicians and talent. After gaining music equipment, experience, and industry connections, Chance Studios & Entertainment evolved from this small label and moved its Head Quarters to Chicago, IL. M.O.B., Nelzy G, Joe Raw... in the Hip-hop/RnB world showed success and Chance wanted to provide more opportunities for skills in and outside of the music industry. Chance Studios & Entertainment then decided to launch a new version of its evolving company to include talents in visual arts, performance, music, 3D projection mapping, marketing, video gaming, and social media. In 2010, Chance branched off into many directions and sort of disipated with the overwhelming amount of projects and lack of time. In January of 2014, CEO of Chance Studios & Entertainment(CSE3000) brought the Chance back by keeping a headquarters in Chicago as well as one in Oakland, CA. Several departments/sub companies started to form and take way including Live From The Bay(Live Performance Video Blog), Chicago and Bay Area Underground Scene(Collective Group/Blogs of Events, Collaborations, Releases, etc.), Lost My Meyened Designz run by Douglas Sollars, an amazing artist, skateboarder, surfer, and musician from Santa Cruz, CA.

Copyright Office Institutes New Group Registration Procedure for Works on an Album

The U.S. Copyright Office is proposing to create a new group registration option for musical works, sound recordings, and certain other works contained on an album. The proposed rule will expand the registration options currently available to register multiple musical works or sound recordings under one application by adding an option to be known as “Group Registration for Works on an Album of Music” or “GRAM.” In particular, this proposed group registration option will permit the registration of multiple musical works and/or sound recordings distributed together using a single electronic application, regardless whether such distribution occurs via physical or digital media. The Office proposes these changes to encourage broader participation in the registration system by reducing registration burdens on applicants, and seeks public comments on this proposed rulemaking.

The notice of proposed rulemaking and instructions on how to submit a comment are available here. Written comments in response to the notice of proposed rulemaking published on May 20, 2019 must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. eastern time on July 19, 2019.

POP UPS WITH A PURPOSE!

The Octagon Collective presents the Pop Up "Project Reclaim," (left) a consumer Pop-Up utilizes the vernacular of consumer design and technology to promote anti-consumerist living with up cycling.The Tear of God Art Collective's POP Up 'Water' (right) is situated as a para fiction, using the conventions of design and the real, to incite critical thinking about consumerism, branding, and their residual social/cultural influence.
Undergraduates at UC Berkeley taking a Visual Cultures: Intersections of Art Design and Technology in the Department of Art Practice, supported by an Arts and Design Grant, were tasked to create Pop Ups with a Purpose for Oakland First Fridays. Contemporary media and marketing culture has increasingly trended towards the consumer Pop Up. Over the past year, these phenomena, which art writer and Critic Ben Davis has aptly coined “Instagram Trap...installation art-ish environments built for social media." Pop ups have become a serious cultural force, even museums are looking to tap into the trend to expand their audiences. Brands are also piling into them as a way to draw consumers in and get them to circulate their icons. In considering contemporary visual culture, students were asked to create these pop ups as a mode critical making at the intersection of Art, Design and Technology, and to use the historical context of contemporary art, to up-end their purpose. Can a pop up operate as contemporary art, and if so, how? These pop up sites are not selling anything, but rather they are participatory art sites to incite; questions about media culture and consumerism, using the conventions of design, and the ubiquity of social media technology. Come 'pose' as interventions & instagram yourself as a part of their works.
