We’re pleased to share that two members of our team, Heather Rafter and Jessica Fajfar, spoke at the 8th Annual Artificial Intelligence and Robotics National Institute with a panel “Music to My Ears? The Not-So-Silent Threat of AI” along with Owen Seitel and Jay LeBoeuf!

As AI technology advances, voice cloning, deepfakes, and digital impersonation are creating new challenges for artists, creators, businesses, and consumers. From unauthorized use of a person’s voice and likeness to sophisticated scams targeting organizations, these developments raise important questions about intellectual property, privacy, and the evolving legal landscape!

We enjoyed contributing to this timely conversation about protecting creative rights, personal identity, and businesses in an increasingly AI-driven world.

🎶 Honoring Legacy, Innovation, and Creativity – Support the Bob Moog Foundation 🎶

RafterMarsh Law is proud to support The Bob Moog Foundation and their latest fundraising raffle, featuring a fully restored, signed Oberheim Matrix-12 synthesizer—a legendary instrument that represents decades of groundbreaking innovation in music technology.

This special Matrix-12 carries the signatures of Tom Oberheim and its co-designers Marcus Ryle and Michel Dioudic. Even more meaningfully, it comes from the collection of Doug Curtis, a pioneer in integrated chip design, generously donated by his widow, Mary Curtis.

The Bob Moog Foundation continues to inspire the next generation through its Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, Archive Preservation Initiative, and the Moogseum—ensuring that the intersection of music, science, history, and innovation continues to thrive.

Let’s keep the legacy of music technology pioneers alive!

On Sunday evening, February 23rd, we’re gathering to celebrate 20 years since the launch of the Digidesign VENUE digital live mixing console—a project that brought together some of the best minds (and best friends) in the industry.

This is more than just a reunion—it’s a chance to reconnect, relive the magic, and raise a glass to one of the most rewarding projects we’ve ever worked on.

Huge thanks to David Gibbons, Heather Rafter, Georges Berenger, Sheldon Radford, and so many others for helping to make this happen. Let us know if you’d like to help organize or even jump in and play in the band! 🎸

❤️ Spreading Love This Valentine’s Day ❤️

At RafterMarsh, we believe love is about giving back—to our clients, our community, and those in need.

This Valentine’s Day, in honor of our incredible clients, we’ve made donations to organizations making a real difference:

🔥 FireAid – Supporting those impacted by the devastating LA wildfires

🎶 Sweet Relief & MusiCares – Providing assistance to music industry professionals in times of need

🐾 Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA – Helping the 400 animals separated from their owners and caring for injured wildlife

To our clients and friends, thank you for inspiring us every day. And to these organizations, we are grateful for the love and support you bring to those who need it most.

Please enjoy these two beautiful songs as our Valentine's Day gift to you:

“The Beauty of Imagination” (Piano Version) by our very own Philipp Lengeling on Spotify:

“Here & Now" by Jessy Greene and Rami Jaffee is a heartfelt reminder to embrace the beauty of this moment, the only place where life truly exists. Soon to be released, it's about letting go of distractions and worries, grounding yourself in the present, and discovering that love is always here, waiting to be found.

🎥 AI and Media Creation 2025: Insights from Philipp Lengeling at the Silicon Valley Video Summit 🎥

RafterMarsh Law’s Philipp Lengeling joined industry experts at the Silicon Valley Video Summit, sponsored by our client Advanced Systems Group - ASG, to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in media production. As a panelist on “Status Report: AI and Media Creation 2025”, Philipp shared legal insights and his personal views on the challenges and opportunities AI presents for content creators, technology companies, the broader media industry–– and the legal profession!

Moderated by Pinar Demirdag, the panel featured perspectives from AI expert Gabe Michael (Edelman AI), author and AI advocate Noelle R., and director/producer Mark Yoder (Accenture). Philipp, with his deep expertise in digital media, intellectual property, and AI governance, brought key legal, regulatory, and ethical considerations to the discussion, addressing AI compliance, licensing, data protection.

With AI reshaping media workflows, content creation, and legal frameworks, this conversation was an essential checkpoint on where we stand and what’s ahead in 2025.

Thanks to SiliconValley.Video and ASG for an outstanding event! If you want to discuss the legal implications of AI in media and content creation, reach out—we’d love to connect.
