Avicii, the groundbreaking Swedish DJ-producer, died six years ago. He was 28. It was a tragedy that reverberated around the world - much like his music, which brought unexpected genres and collaborators into his melodic EDM through forward-thinking, chart-topping hits like "Wake Me Up!" and "Hey Brother."

They work to celebrate the artist born Tim Bergling, capturing his early life, the songs that made him an idiosyncratic talent, his insatiable curiosity and hunger for reinvention, and the people he left behind. Miraculously, Bergling himself narrates a lot of the film - pulled from archival interviews and some never before published. Capturing Avicii's life and career was no easy feat, director Henrik Burman told The Associated Press. The project took half-a-decade, beginning before the pandemic and only about a year-and-half after Bergling's death. Burman's interviews were long and many. "To know people around Tim," he says, was the only way "to know Tim." ALSO READ: Yellowstone Season 5 finale was the most-watched episode in series history.

This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. AP: How did you approach this project? BURMAN: I would say from the beginning, the first thing I knew I wanted to do was find my story... the story that I wanted to tell about Tim. But the most important (aspect) was time. I wanted this to be a project with no time limits... I wanted it to be a slow process. And I wanted to have a lot of time for research. And the people close to Tim, I didn't want to force them into anything. I didn't want to push it. I wanted them to see and learn what I wanted to tell, you know, my story and my vision. AP: The structure is compelling; it really focuses on Avicii's life and his biggest songs that shifted genre - you avoid casting his career as "it was the 2010s and EDM was massive." There's a lot of research. BURMAN: I had access to a lot of material... I was looking for clues all the time... I've watched so, so many hours of, you know, interviews with Tim just to see, "OK, he says this again. And it was like the eighth time that year. OK. That should be important." ... It was kind of a puzzle and yeah, it was huge research work. ALSO READ: 'Ending is sh**, what a waste': Squid Game fans furious, say season 2 twist leaves them 'completely shocked' Sometimes, in the material that I had ... he was like, "If there's a documentary, ever, about me, this should be in it." ... There's a story in the film, in the beginning, from (when) he is a kid. He tells a story to the interviewer. And he says, "When I was a kid, I wasn't like a really nice person. For a few years, I was kind of bullying people. And I was around 6 or 7. And after a while I realized that people didn't like me, so after a summer, I was thinking about this, and I decided, 'I need to change... and see what happens.' And then people liked me again." And when he told that story, he was like, "That's a really important story. That's a story that needs to be in a documentary, if it's ever a documentary about me, because that says so much about me as a person." I was trying to find clues and stories and listen and... early on, I was quite sure that I wanted to tell the story from Miami Ultra (Music Festival) and what happened there. That was kind of a key moment for me, and that was a huge key moment for Tim. But when I realized that this... needs to be the center of my story, at the midpoint for my story, I realized that I had something to hold on to. AP: The childhood story reflects his interest in creative transformation, too. How do you aim to capture his spirit and not center his death? BURMAN: That is hard. I have from the beginning... tried to explain my vision for this film... But I reached out to a lot of friends, and of course his family, and I got their blessing. ALSO READ: Yellowstone Season 6 is finally confirmed? Here's why fans think the US series is not ending When I got this kind of group of people that said "yes" to being in the film that I could start to ask more questions and have deeper conversations. But again, we needed time... I wanted to work gently, that was very important. AP: And you have footage of Tim in the womb! It is very different than what could've very easily been an exploitative version of the film. BURMAN: I wanted to make an intimate and personal story and not speculate... to find the right tone, you need time. And since we started work... one, one-and-a-half years after Tim passed, I just knew that we needed time. And, of course, people around Tim needed a lot of time. AP: What is Avicii's legacy? BURMAN: You can answer that question in so many ways. But if you're talking about the music, and the music that he produced and wrote, he was so much ahead of his time, I would say. And you can hear the legacy of Avicii in the music today. You can hear it in the production in new music and hits from today. If you listen to the music - go back and listen to the music now that he released like 10 years ago, it sounds so fresh, modern, and I would say timeless. AP: What do you hope viewers take away from this film? BURMAN: Someone said to me that the film is so much about Tim, but at the same time, it's so kind of universal. And I thought that was beautiful because life is not simple. There are no easy answers. And everything is complex and multilayered. So, that's what I aim to contribute to Tim's story. And I also really hope that even the most hardcore fans get a new, fresh perspective of Tim as a person and Avicii as an artist. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson sued CNN on Tuesday over its recent report that he made explicit racial and sexual posts on a pornography website’s message board, calling the reporting reckless and defamatory. The lawsuit, filed in Wake County Superior Court, comes less than four weeks after a report that led many fellow GOP elected officials and candidates, including presidential nominee Donald Trump, to distance themselves from Robinson's gubernatorial campaign. Robinson, who announced the lawsuit at a news conference in Raleigh with a Virginia-based attorney, has denied authoring the messages. CNN “chose to publish despite knowing or recklessly disregarding that Lt. Gov. Robinson’s data — including his name, date of birth, passwords, and the email address supposedly associated with the NudeAfrica account — were previously compromised by multiple data breaches,” the lawsuit states, referencing the website. Robinson, who would be the state’s first Black governor if elected, called the report a “high-tech lynching” on a candidate "who has been targeted from Day 1 by folks who disagree with me politically and want to see me destroyed.” CNN declined to comment Tuesday, spokesperson Emily Kuhn said in an email. The CNN report, which first aired Sept. 19, said Robinson left statements over a decade ago on the message board in which, in part, he referred to himself as a “black NAZI,” said he enjoyed transgender pornography, said he preferred Hitler to then-President Barack Obama, and slammed the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as “worse than a maggot.” The network report said it matched details of the account on the message board to other online accounts held by Robinson by comparing usernames, a known email address and his full name. CNN reported that details discussed by the account holder matched Robinson’s age, length of marriage and other biographical information. It also compared figures of speech that were used in his public Facebook profile and that appeared in discussions by the account on the pornographic website. Polls at the time of the CNN report already showed Democratic rival Josh Stein, the sitting attorney general, with a lead over Robinson. Early in-person voting begins Thursday statewide, and over 57,000 completed absentee ballots have been received so far. Robinson also in the same defamation lawsuit sued a Greensboro punk rock band singer who alleged in a music video and in an interview with a media outlet that Robinson, in the 1990s and early 2000s, frequented a porn shop the singer once worked at and purchased videos. Louis Love Money, the other named defendant, released the video and spoke with other media outlets before the CNN report. Robinson denies the allegation in the lawsuit, which reads, “Lt. Gov. Robinson was not spending hours at the video store, five nights a week. He was not renting or previewing videos, and he did not purchase ‘bootleg’ or other videos from Defendant Money.” Money said in a phone interview Tuesday that he stands by his statements and the music video's content as truthful: “My story hasn't changed.” The lawsuit, which seeks at least $50 million in damages, says the effort against Robinson “appears to be a coordinated attack aimed at derailing his campaign for governor.” It provides no evidence that the network or Money schemed with outside groups to create what Robinson alleges are false statements. Robinson’s lawyer, Jesse Binnall, said that he expects to find more “bad actors,” and that entities, which he did not identify, have stonewalled his firm's efforts to collect information. “We will use every tool at our disposal now that a lawsuit has been filed, including the subpoena power, in order to continue pursuing the facts,” said Binnall, whose clients have included Trump and his campaign. In North Carolina courts, a public official claiming defamation generally must show a defendant knew a statement was false or recklessly disregarded its untruthfulness. Most of the top staff running Robinson’s campaign and his lieutenant governor’s office quit following the CNN report, and the Republican Governors Association, which had already spent millions of dollars in advertising backing Robinson, stopped supporting his bid. And Democrats from presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris to downballot state candidates began running ads linking their opponents to Robinson. Robinson's campaign isn't running TV commercials now. He said that “we’ve chosen to go in a different direction” and focus on in-person campaign stops. Robinson already had a history of inflammatory comments about topics like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights that Stein and his allies have emphasized in opposing him on TV commercials and online. Stein spokesperson Morgan Hopkins said Tuesday in a statement that “even before the CNN report, North Carolinians have known for a long time that Mark Robinson is completely unfit to be Governor." Hurricane Helene and its aftermath took the CNN report off the front pages. Robinson worked for several days with a central North Carolina sheriff collecting relief supplies and criticized Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper — barred by term limits from seeking reelection — for state government's response in the initial stages of relief. Trump endorsed Robinson before the March gubernatorial primary, calling him “Martin Luther King on steroids” for his speaking ability. Robinson had been a frequent presence at Trump’s North Carolina campaign stops, but he hasn’t participated in such an event since the CNN report. This story was first published on Oct. 15, 2024. It was updated on Nov. 22, 2024 to correct which of Robinson’s social media accounts CNN cited in a comparison to language in messages from a pornographic website message board. CNN cited his public Facebook account, not his Twitter account.Quarterbacks in spotlight when No. 6 Miami visits SyracuseGiants advance in draft rankings, Jaguars do them a solid

The chief executive of healthcare technology firm Harrison.ai has moved to dismiss privacy concerns about his start-up, describing them as a misunderstanding as it plots an expansion into the lucrative US market. Harrison.ai gives radiologists and pathologists access to AI technology so they can more efficiently and accurately scan X-rays for cancers and illnesses. The Sydney start-up has already raised more than $150 million to pursue its stated goal of saving a million lives a day by 2025. Dimitry (left) and Aengus Tran. Credit: Louie Douvis An investigation by online publication Crikey has alleged that Harrison.ai trained its flagship product, Annalise.ai, using scans of potentially hundreds of thousands of Australians obtained by radiology provider I-MED seemingly without express consent from patients. Speaking in an interview with this masthead, Aengus Tran, who founded the company in 2018 with his brother Dimitry, said those concerns were a “misunderstanding” and that his start-up anonymises patient data to the extent it cannot be re-identified. “I think, from the outside, maybe people made an assumption that we are processing personal information,” Aengus Tran said. “A picture of your face is very different to a chest X-ray and a diagnostic report that has been anonymised and de-identified. We have a really robust anonymisation and data-protection pipeline, where data is completely stripped of personal information, and [we have] gone through quite great lengths to ensure that it cannot be re-identified. “That helps us meet the requirement of the Privacy Act and therefore enables our use of data to be fully permissible within the bounds of that act. The Privacy Act actually makes it very clear that if you thoroughly anonymise and de-identify the patient, data is no longer considered personal information.” I-MED has also published a statement calling the reports “inaccurate”. “I-MED de-identified data using best practice frameworks developed by the CSIRO and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner,” it said. Anxiety and discussion around how artificial intelligence technologies treat customer privacy has spiked since Australia’s privacy commissioner, Carly Kind, found that retailer Bunnings had breached privacy laws with facial recognition systems that it used to combat crime.A young man has triggered backlash on social media after advising men to invest in their girlfriends rather than their mothers In a controversial video on TikTok, he stated that the only thing that a mother will offer to her struggling child is emotions Social media users who came across his video on the platform stormed the comments section to share their opinions Don't miss out!
