  • Joel-Plaskett-Interview
    HHB Communications Canada Limited In conversation with Joel Plaskett anada has produced some of the world’s most enduring songwriters Cand Joel Plaskett is hailed as one of the best. With countless awards, thousands of tour dates and numerous recording and producing projects under his belt, Plaskett remains one of the most innovative and prolific artists on the scene today. Inspired by a high demand for his ears as a producer, Joel rang in 2013 with the completion and launch of his new recording studio, New Scotland Yard. Since the opening, Joel has put his mark on the recordings of Sarah Slean, Al Tuck, David Myles, Steve Poltz, and most recently, buzz act Mo Kenney. In 2014, he continues to amass production credits with several projects already on the schedule – including a new record of his own. Congrats on your recent ECMA nomination for Producer of the Year!! Are you excited about being nominated? Thanks! Yeah, I'm super excited. I've been doing more and more producing and it's nice to get a nod in that arena. Although I still feel like I have a lot to learn. You are not only a producer but also celebrated live artist as well. Is it hard to find a balance between being on the road and in the studio? They are two different worlds. I built New Scotland Yard so I could have place to work from that is close to home when I'm not touring. Going elsewhere to make records involved me being away for too long. My family is really important to me and although I'm a workaholic.

  • Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto's Transnational Re
    King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 by John Jason Collins Wilson A dissertation Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © John Jason Collins Wilson, May 2013 ABSTRACT King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 John Jason Collins Wilson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Doctor Catharine Wilson Reggae music facilitated a cultural dialogue between Jamaican migrant and Canadian host in Toronto during the 1970s and 1980s. Exchanges flowed across the city’s ethnic frontier, bridging black and white youth together in an ‘oppositional’ and musical movement. While migrants enacted their Jamaican ethnicity in places where reggae was played, many non-Jamaicans satisfied a curiosity in the music of their migrant friends. This study examines the process of migration of people and music as seen from both the migrant and the host’s perspective. It is as much about black Jamaicans as it is about white Torontonians. Twenty Jamaicans and twenty non-Jamaicans were interviewed for this project. Though reggae became an expected part of Toronto’s musical vernacular, the Canadian version meant different things to different people. Indeed, sometimes the only thread that tied the varied experiences together was that Toronto was the place where reggae happened. Still, as a hybrid, reggae had rather evolved outside of place. It was a transnational musical form, constantly updated by influences traversing the ‘Black Atlantic’ in an on-going and triangular musical conversation.

  • Atlantic Technology FS-5000 Frontstage Home Theater Speaker System
    Email this article Printer friendly page Atlantic Technology FS-5000 FrontStage Home Theater Speaker System Review By Cliff Darroch for BigPictureBigSound Overall Rating (out of four): Putting the "Home" in "Home Theater" For years, I've been looking for speakers - the "perfect" speakers. Not necessarily the perfect sound, although good sound is important. Not the most visually stunning of speakers, although an aesthetic which is pleasing to the eye is also important. Size matters - nothing too large and nothing too small. Basically I wanted a system that fit discretely into the most popular room in the house (the family room) but without obvious compromises in performance. Soon enough my attention was captured by Atlantic Technology's FS-5000 FrontStage Home Theater System. Does it fit the bill? Read on to find out. Harmony at Home I started with a general idea: reduce the clutter and remove the overt presence of technology, allowing my interior decorator (aka "the wife") the freedom to furnish the room in the manner she saw fit. But the room still needed to be a fun place to relax and enjoy a movie. Atlantic Technology system (as reviewed) - FS-5000 LCR speaker bar, 10e CSB subwoofer and 2200 SR surround speakers. First to go was the huge-honking CRT TV, replaced with a sexy flat panel. Today this seems like a no-brainer, but three years ago, plasma panels were still very expensive, and LCD panels left a lot to be desired in image quality. Rear projection TVs were affordable, but didn't really fit the aesthetic I was working toward.
