Capitol Music Group today announced the launch of the Capitol Innovation Center (Cic) “to bring together leading thinkers from the music and technology industries, as well as the student community, to help drive the future of innovation in music,” according to a press release. Based in the Capitol Tower in Hollywood, California, the Cic aims to provide space and conduct event programming designed to foster innovative ideas, bridge the gap between content creators and the tech community, and foster the next generation of leaders in music.
The center will open on April 15 with a collaborative workspace and songwriting studio for students, technologists, and content creators. At the recent SXSW Music Hackathon, winning teams were chosen to spend a week in June at Capitol Tower, gaining access to the Cic’s workspace, studio, and team of mentors. Other initial participants include Umg Accelerator Engagement Network and Abbey Road Red Incubator.

You almost need to see Dave Grohl's documentary "Sound City" with headphones on. That's the best way to pick up the nuances the legions of legendary musicians are talking about in this ratty old recording studio where some of the greatest rock records ever made were cut from the 1970s through the '90s.
When Grohl, drummer with Nirvana and later Foo Fighters frontman, and other drummers such as Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac) talk about the presence, the unique sound that drums carried out of this dump of a studio in Van Nuys, Calif., headphones are the best way to sample that difference, that analog "oomph" that Sound City gave them.
And as Fleetwood, Grohl and the others -- from Tom Petty and Kevin Cronin (Reo Speedwagon) to Rick Springfield and Neil Young -- will tell you, if you get the drums right, the rest just falls into place.
