Patrice Rushen and Annenberg’s Josh Kun to present at Ableton Loop summit
November 9th-11th, Ableton will sponsor the Loop summit for music makers with three days of talks, performances and hands-on workshops aimed at sharing ideas on music and creative practice. Among the many musicians, creatives, and technologists in attendance will be Patrice Rushen, chair of USC Thornton’s Popular Music program, and Josh Kun, director of the USC Annenberg School of Communication.

Kun will present a talk exploring different representations of migrant and refugee experiences in contemporary music.
