    LOS ANGELES --

    Amrita Sen Music has added feature film sound engineer Tony Joy to its team. The announcement was made by composer/artist Amrita Sen who is probably best known for her performance at the 2009 Academy Awards with music legend AR Rahman, singing “Jai Ho” from the Oscar-winning movie, Slumdog Millionaire. Her music reel includes collaborations with artists Justin Timberlake, Weezer and Timbaland. 

    According to Sen, she first met Joy through composer/singer/songwriter Rahman, composer of the soundtrack for the aforementioned Slumdog Millionaire. Joy is no stranger to mixing commercials for both TV and radio, having overseen hundreds of ad projects during his tenure as a radio producer in Dubai. Joy has been based in Los Angeles since 2010. Joy’s mastering and sound engineering credits include work on the feature films Million Dollar Arm, The Hundred-Foot Journey, Om Shanti Om, and Jab tak Hai Jaan.

    “Tony is one of the best mixing and mastering engineers in the music industry,” said Sen. “He is also an expert in mixing for Virtual Reality (VR), which is a genre we’re going to get further involved with.” 

    Joy was born in India and educated in the UK. He holds a Masters in Post Production-Sound Design from Bournemouth University and also holds a degree in Audio Engineering from the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) in Chennai, India. “I love navigating through the both the creative and logistical chaos in music,” said Joy.  “As an engineer, I love cutting through the ambiguity to deliver stellar work.”




    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
