Norm Levy Joins SYNQABL as Strategic Advisor

SYNQABL, an AI-powered music publishing and licensing platform modernizing how independent and unpublished music is discovered and monetized, has announced that Norm Levy has joined the company as a strategic advisor.

In this role, Levy will work closely with the SYNQABL leadership team to help attract aligned strategic partners and long-term investors, while strengthening relationships across both sides of the platform’s marketplace. His focus will include supporting partnerships with music publishers, catalog owners, artists, and managers, as well as deepening engagement with music supervisors, agencies, studios, and media platforms seeking high-quality music at scale.

Bridging Music, Media, and Technology

Levy brings decades of experience operating at the intersection of music, entertainment, technology, and capital. His background includes artist collaboration, Hollywood and media relationships, and advisory work with technology platforms navigating growth, partnerships, and market expansion.

That perspective aligns closely with SYNQABL’s mission: building modern infrastructure that enhances creative ecosystems rather than replacing the relationships that underpin them.

SYNQABL’s platform combines AI-powered music discovery, automated catalog ingestion, and streamlined licensing workflows to address long-standing inefficiencies in the sync licensing market. While demand for fresh, authentic music across film, television, advertising, and digital media continues to grow, much of the independent and unpublished music ecosystem remains underutilized due to fragmented processes and limited discoverability.

Supporting Both Sides of the Marketplace

As an advisor, Levy will support SYNQABL’s efforts to:

  • Expand strategic relationships with publishers, rights holders, and catalog owners seeking greater visibility and monetization for their music
  • Strengthen adoption among music supervisors, agencies, studios, and brands looking for efficient discovery and licensing tools
  • Engage long-term strategic investors and industry partners aligned with SYNQABL’s vision of sustainable, creator-respectful growth

The company has already moved beyond concept into commercial validation, with a live platform, post-revenue activity, and active demand from buyers. Levy’s involvement is intended to help guide SYNQABL’s next phase of growth through thoughtful partnerships and disciplined expansion.

Looking Ahead

As the music industry continues to evolve alongside advances in AI and media distribution, platforms that respect creative integrity while introducing scalable, transparent infrastructure are increasingly positioned to play a foundational role.

With Levy joining as a strategic advisor, SYNQABL aims to further strengthen its position as a trusted bridge between creators, rights holders, and the media companies that rely on great music to tell compelling stories.

From Apollo Soundstages to High Orbit: The Long Road to Band on the Run

Band on the Run is Norm Levy’s debut novel, shaped by more than twenty-five years working at the intersection of Hollywood, music, technology, and space-adjacent industries.

While collaborating with major studios on large-scale film productions, Levy gained firsthand insight into how ambitious worlds are built, from logistics and design to music, spectacle, and audience experience. That vantage point inspired a story designed not just to be read, but lived, integrating original music, iconic technology, and cinematic environments from the ground up.

A formative chapter of Levy’s career took place at Grumman Studios in Bethpage, New York, located on the historic site where the Apollo Lunar Modules were designed and built, including the module that carried humanity to the Moon. Standing inside former aerospace test facilities while guiding filmmakers through the soundstages left a lasting impression, fusing storytelling and space history into the foundation of Band on the Run.

Levy’s career spans entertainment, immersive technology, and emerging platforms. He developed a voice-based social platform adopted by all major record labels and later served on the launch team for Nokia’s OZO Professional VR Camera, working with studios, sports leagues, and media organizations as virtual reality entered mainstream production. His fascination with space deepened while working with Virgin Galactic’s Zero-G Festival, where he witnessed firsthand how modern visionaries transformed space from abstraction into action.

A lifelong student of history and space exploration, Levy draws inspiration from physicist Gerard K. O’Neill’s vision of permanent human life beyond Earth. Shaped over years of research, revision, and real-world technological change, Band on the Run brings that vision into the very near future at a moment when rockets now routinely land themselves. The story is grounded in real science, lived experience, and the belief that humanity’s next chapter will be written by young voices bold enough to rise.

Rebels, Rhythm, and Zero-Gravity: The Story Behind Band on the Run (Coming Soon!)

What happens when you take a street-smart teenage musician, throw her into a high-stakes chase across Memphis, imprison her in a castle, and launch her into the depths of space? You get Band on the Run, a groundbreaking Young Adult epic where music ignites rebellion, freedom is forged in high orbit, and one girl’s voice becomes a revolution.

Written by entertainment industry veteran Norm Levy, who has worked on major motion pictures at Grumman Studios and across TV, film, and music, Band on the Run is a pulse-pounding blend of heart, grit, and rhythm, from the backstreets of Memphis to the stars above.

At its heart is sixteen-year-old Jenny Brown, a fearless, street-smart musician fighting to survive and to reach her lost little brother, Dak. With her band of runaways, she invents a raw, soul-charged sound called Blues-Bop, turning survival into art and street corners into stages. But when the city enforces a new Salvation Law that sweeps homeless kids off the streets, Jenny and her band are captured and shipped to H.O.M.E. (High Orbit Manufacturing Enterprise), where they are indentured to a billionaire whose dream of building the future hides a ruthless quest to become the world’s first trillionaire, mining asteroids for rare metals.

Armed with nothing but their music, courage, and defiance, Jenny and her crew transform their songs into a spark of rebellion that could unite the counter-rotating habitats of H.O.M.E., upend the system, and change the fate of humanity itself.

More than a story, Band on the Run is the spark—a cultural catalyst meant to inspire a new generation to look beyond Earth, break free from gravity’s hold, and imagine a future where millions, even billions, could one day live, work, and thrive beyond our thin biosphere. Inspired by the visionary ideas of physicist Gerard K. O’Neill, it pays homage to his stellar blueprint for humanity’s expansion into space—self-sustaining worlds powered by innovation, industry, and imagination—and carries forward his boundless vision of expanding ever outward into the stars to secure humanity’s place in the universe.

Blending relentless action, raw emotion, and an original twelve-song soundtrack, Band on the Run is where The Hunger Games meets A Star Is Born in zero-gravity, a world of rebellion, rhythm, and the fight for freedom among the stars. It’s a franchise-ready adventure destined for the page, screen, stage, and even the amusement park—complete with zero-G games, thrilling challenges, and gravity-defying concerts, driven by revolutionary spirit and a voice that refuses to fade.

The stakes are astronomical.
The rhythm is unstoppable.
And the fight for freedom? It has only just begun.

Are you ready to run? 🚀🎸

“The horizon is not behind us, nor ahead—it is above. And those brave enough to rise will find a future brighter than any dawn.” 
Miles Wentworth – H.O.M.E. (High Orbit Manufacturing Enterprise), Founder and CEO

Norm Consults for World’s Foremost Authority in Cognitive AI, Peter Voss, on Direct Path to AGI

Peter Voss is an AI pioneer renowned for coining the term Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), with his partners at the time, Ben Hortzel (SingularityNET) and Shane Legg (DeepMind founder).  Peter is on track to bring Human-Level AI (AGI) to the world.

Peter adopted a radically different approach to solving “intelligence” by using Cognitive AI, which mimics the human mind. This method does not rely on big data, massive compute power, or statistical AI. Instead, by leveraging a team of AI psychologists and engineers, he aims to overcome the limitations of large language models (LLMs), which are not, in Peter’s hypothesis, the path to achieving human-level AI.

Peter’s alternative path to AGI consumes at least 6 orders of magnitude less resources than GenAI and overcomes all the limitations of LLMs.  

Unlike humans, it takes Aigo less than 3-years to evolve from 4-year-old, where we are now, to a graduate level with its self-learning and meta-cognitive reasoning ability. Once Aigo is at a graduate level, it opens up a whole new set of opportunities that aren’t in the realm of possibilities today.  The impact of AGI on Humanity will be quite astonishing!

  • Boost Human Flourishing
  • Scientific Advancements
  • Economic Growth
  • End of Poverty
  • End of Diseases
  • Radical Longevity 
  • Fusion & Thermal Energies
  • Super Capacitors and so much more.

Norm Joins MindFly as Senior Advisor

I am working with an incredible company that is gaining traction, acceptance and demand in live sports.  You may have heard about them or seen ESPN deploy their tech recently; NHL Stanley Cup, NBA All-Star Game Events, Mens NCAA Baseball Worldseries, etc.

MindFly has developed AI-based bodycams that are a complete solution for capturing immersive video and audio from a player’s and referee’s perspective for games and from behind-the-scenes. MindFly transforms raw footage into engaging live feeds and video clips through its advanced AI solution. This technology stabilizes and autonomously directs the raw footage, mimicking the decisions of a human camera operator and director. The result is an entirely new, enhanced, and immersive viewing experience for fans.

The solution is perfect for live TV and social media and works for any sports rights holder – broadcaster, sponsor, leagues, teams and clubs.

Players and referees wear MindFly bodycams, which are vests with integrated cameras, similar to the GPS vests that players are accustomed to wearing. The camera and battery are seamlessly integrated into the vest. Thanks to the vest’s design, players’ safety and performance are maintained, while the content captured is stabilized and automatically directed by the MindFly software. This allows customers to broadcast the footage live or edit the clips for social media and other publishing channels.

Since launching its Live product in early 2024, MindFly has made significant progress by collaborating with broadcasters like ESPN, CBS, and NBC; leagues such as the NBA, MLB,  NHL, World Baseball Series, UFL, Premier League, and Euroleague; and teams including Manchester City FC, Juventus FC, and Redbull Salzburg. The company is now transitioning these commercial engagements into annual agreements. Additionally, MindFly will be offering an end-to-end solution to help teams and leagues create and monetize content, positioning itself as a partner rather than just a technology provider.

“It’s with great appreciation to the Florida Panthers and their willingness to explore Mindfly in the most important time of the year,” says Linda Schulz, coordinating producer, NHL on ESPN. “We are very excited to see a goalie warm up first-hand.”

Here are some links to some events in the last three months (all were paid commercial events)

NBA All-Star 2024
The NBA All-Star event had referees wearing the Live Bodycam during the game.  Our bodycams were also deployed during their Rising Star Challenge events, with the broadcast lasting an exhilarating 4 hours. Of note, star players Donovan Mitchell and Myles Turner also embraced this groundbreaking technology.

NCAA Baseball (Men’s College World Series 2024)

NHL (Stanley Cup Final 2024: ESPN Outfits Florida Panthers Goalie With MindFly AI BodyCam for Pregame Skate)

UFL (American Football)

NCAA All-Star 2024
At the NCAA All-Star event, Mindfly collaborated with ESPN and CBS Sports to deliver an innovative viewing experience. During the event, we provided four simultaneous live feeds capturing the dunking contest with ESPN and two live feeds during the game with CBS the next day. These included seamless transitions to Mindfly’s “court cam” views of the players, enhancing the dynamic coverage of the event.

MLBWe had successful initial events with MLB and we are in discussions for next steps.

Euroleague – player cam official games
It took us one year to do the first official game with a Euroleague player, and only two weeks to do the second official game with two players.
