  • Improvising Toward Post-Abyssal Musics: the Difference Between Noise and Noise (A Reading of Start Making Noises Now )
    Improvising Toward Post-Abyssal Musics: The Difference Between Noise and Noise (a reading of Start Making Noises Now ) by Joseph James Sorbara A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English and Theatre Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Joseph Sorbara, May, 2016 ABSTRACT IMPROVISING TOWARD POST-ABYSSAL MUSICS: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOISE AND NOISE (a reading of Start Making Noises Now ) Joseph James Sorbara Co-advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Professor A. Heble Professor D. Fischlin This thesis offers a model of the musical practice of free improvisation as a “noisification” process that effects a re-listening to modern Western music and a re-considering of the “abyssal” cultural assumptions embedded therein, then asks what it means to take that model seriously. Having produced Start Making Noises Now —a film investigating freely improvised musical community in Toronto in early 2012 through performances and interviews with local improvisers—the author now reads its stories in dialogue with writings on creative music and improvisation, cultural theory, sociology, pedagogy, and rights. The resulting conversation develops an understanding of free improvisation as occupying a critical pedagogical space within the dominating culture and argues for the dissolution of barriers to participation in freely improvised musical community in solidarity with its roots in the Freedom Struggle and with ongoing “semi-audible” systemic oppressions, for the benefit of the broader culture and of creative music itself. This is dedicated to Victoria, Reine, and Nico. May you always aspire to the impossible and unreasonable and may you continue to make this world a better place by making noise the way only you can.

  • The Economic Potential of Ottawa's Music Scene
    Connecting Art & Commerce: The Economic Potential of Ottawa’s Music Scene Prepared for Councillor Jeff Leiper by James Hale February 5, 2015 INTRODUCTION Three chords and a guitar – how far can that take you? That was the type of question young musicians like Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, and Guy Clark grew up with in the 1950s, a decade before they became founders of a stridently iconoclastic music scene in Austin, Texas. Today, Austin is the gold standard for economic output from local music. Its music scene generates an estimated $1.9 billion annually – a staggering $10 per capita each year. Given its unique past, few cities can hope to approach Austin’s achievements, but the city serves as a model of how a multi-faceted music scene can coalesce and collaborate with city officials, tourism authorities, and others to reach a common goal. Although, as a centre of government with a strong technology presence and a population of under two million, Austin shares some characteristics with Ottawa, any comparison of economics is likely specious. Based on information available from public sources (e.g., published economic impact figures supplied by Ottawa’s major music festivals) a rough estimate of the amount of economic activity associated with the city’s music scene – including concerts at local venues, festival revenues and related tourism spending, instrument sales, recorded music sales, etc. – is $120 million annually. How large could that figure grow? Looking beyond Austin, there are a number of other models that hold more plausible examples of how Ottawa’s music scene could contribute to local economic development if vision, leadership, and collaboration are applied as inputs.

  • Gary Benson 1939 – 2014 Photo by Jim Mcbirnie 1994 Needless to Say the Passing of This Fine Guitarist Was a Huge Loss to the Canadian Jazz World
    Toronto Jazz April/May 2014 Publisher’s View Here we go again, except for my exceptional regular advertisers, seen in this issue, nothing new. Once again nobody in this big city of ours has anything worthwhile advertising, truly remarkable. Fortunately the beautiful Living Arts Theatre in Mississauga does have something, please see their notice. It would be real nice to be able to thank all sorts of sponsors and advertisers for their support, no such luck. For the past 19 years I have financed this publication out of my own pocket. So at least it was extremely gratifying to receive recognition for my dedication from Mayor Rob Ford. How often am I asked “don't you get frustrated in dealing with such mercenary individuals when soliciting for adverts?”. My answer to that is “ after you have been in sales for many years, you become immune to having the door shut in your face”. To add insult to injury, and what continues to aggravate me, is people lookng for free plugs, if you don't want to advertise it, please don't send it. We are a non-profit th th publication, our rates are cost, do take advantage of them. “Support those who 19 19 support you” is my motto, not, “support us and screw you”. Another thing which really “gets up my nose”, we regularly do nice features /collages on groups and individuals, and rarely get so much as a thank you. Good manners cost nothing , I A A guess they are a thing of the past like the great jazz scene in this city used to be.
