Bodily Sounds
With the use of a digital recorder and mic, this classically
trained musician recorded sounds such as a mouse trying
to get out of a wastebasket, the contents of a handbag,
the noises of laser eye surgery, and used body sounds
donated from listeners on his mailing list.
A
level headed Q&A with Max Graham Max Graham has come a long way
since his early interest as a scratch DJ in '86. After
travelling to Spain, London, Los Angeles, and New York,
Graham settled in Ottawa and was one of the first Canadian
DJs to discover the progressive sound coming out of the
U.K. It is safe to say that without Graham, the progressive
scene in Canada would not be as huge as it is today. Graham
recently spoke about the state of the scene with Justin
Hardison.
A
level headed Q&A with Alpha After releasing a memorable and
emotional debut album, creating a follow-up can prove
difficult for any artist. Music critics watch your every
move and you may already hear your audience standing around
the record shops crying, "it certainly isn't as good
as your first record." In too many cases bands jump
ahead of themselves and unleash all their ideas at once,
creating over the top concept albums and rock operas that
leave you wondering what went wrong. Andy Jenks recently
told Justin Hardison how Alpha surivived second album
syndrome.
A
level headed Q&A with Shantel Justin Hardison recently sat down
with one of Germany's Down-tempo pioneers over dinner
while he was in New York promoting his sophisticated new
offering "Great Delay." He had a lot of interesting
things to say about working on his new album, the winter
music conference, shepherds with cell phones and offered
some insight into his work that combines a huge array
of interesting instruments, subtle electronics and the
passionate vocal work of his guests.
A
level headed Q&A with Dave Tarrida Since the start of his career in
1991, Dave Tarrida has been involved in a number of projects.
His legendary club Scotland club, Sativa, gave artists
such as Cristian Vogel, Claude Young, and DJ Hell their
first British debuts and his Sativae label was responsible
for incredible Techno material from Tobias Schmidt, Cristian
Vogel, Subhead and others.
A
level headed Q&A with Tim "Love" Lee
In the midst of running two record labels (Tummy Touch and Peace
Feast), extensive globe-trotting, sculpting his beard, various
promotional duties, and his Kiss 100 radio slot, Tim “Love”
Lee has managed to create his latest album, “Just Call
Me ‘Lone’ Lee.” Justin Hardison recently spoke
with Lee while he was in the shower, hung over, and attempting
to get a taxi to the airport.
