Who's the only man to ever write songs for Barbra Streisand, Warren Beatty, John Travolta, and Kermit the Frog? That would be Paul Williams. A six-time Academy Award nominee (and one-time winner), Paul sits down with director Stephen Kessler ("Paul Williams Still Alive") to discuss his amazing career. There might even be a little singing as well.
When producers gather, they have specific questions for their colleagues. Some are technical, some are creative. Mostly, they're just looking for a great story.
Tycho is the music project of San Francisco artist and producer Scott Hansen. As Tycho, Hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. Known in the design world as ISO50, Hansen is famed for his bucolic, sun-drenched design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output. Hansen began his electronic-music career with 2002's The Science of Patterns EP , which was followed in 2004 by his first full length, Sunrise Projector.

Heart proved their staying power in the MTV era, topping the charts through the 80s and 90s. The sisters have branched out to solo efforts while continuing to tour and record together. Their most recent album, Red Velvet Car, debuted at 10 on the Billboard Top 200 LPs in 2010.
