Moderator Mike Runion, Pastor of City View, called the 152nd Annual Meeting to order. Chris Murrell, Minister of Music at Berea First, led the congregation in singing several old hymns. Mike Sanders read the scripture and prayer. Anne Beaver, Clerk of GBA and member of Brushy Creek Baptist, read the following motion of organization, “I move that the messengers presently registered and those who are still to register constitute a quorum for conducting the business of the 152nd Annual Session of the GBA.” The motion was seconded by Barry Jimmerson and approved. Ted Adams, Annual Meeting and Worship Committee, made the motion that we accept the agenda as printed. There was no discussion. The motion was seconded and approved. Visitors and new members to the association were recognized and welcomed. These were Larry Gunter from Grove Station and Steve Cowden from New Covenant Christian Fellowship. Music and praises to God were led by Danny Culbertson from Monaghan. Ted Adams gave the Annual Meeting and Worship Committee report. The next meeting is October 24, 2013, at Simpsonville First. No second was needed since the motion came from the committee. There was no discussion. Motion was approved. He also expressed thanks to City View for helping us worship at the 2012 Annual Meeting. The Constitution and Bylaws report was given by Jim Barnes. He presented a report from the committee stating that in order to give more flexibility to the association, messengers will vote next year to eliminate the GBA Constitution and incorporate it into a new set of Bylaws. This was presented as information only. He also stated that each church needs to become non-profit, if they have not already done so. Martin Atkins gave a report from the Committee on Nominations. He thanked committee members from last year and the present year, and then read the names of those who will serve next year. Rev. Atkins made the motion to adopt the report of the committee as printed. No second was needed. The motion passed by show of hands. Wade Leonard, Finance Committee Chairman, gave a report from this committee, including highlights of the 2013 budget which is shown in the Book of Reports and made the motion that the 2013 budget be approved as printed. No second was needed and there was no discussion or questions. Vote was by uplifted hand. Motion carried. 5 Church Relations Committee Chairman, Daniel Lee, shared the following information: No churches in the association became “dead, dissolved, or disassociated” with the association last year; there are only 10½ churches without pastors, down from 19 the previous year, with the ½ being Fountain Inn Baptist as Rev. Michael Bearden retires; there are three new churches to welcome into the fellowship of the association, these being Real Life, New Covenant Christian Fellowship, and Beechwood. Staff and members present from each church were recognized and motions were made separately to accept these new churches. No second was needed. Motions carried. A prayer for these new churches and those without pastors was offered to God. Ron Geyer of the Property Committee spoke in the absence of Chairman Jack Dill. All of the work that was begun last year on the GBA offices has been completed and the staff moved into their new facilities on Howe Street in May. $900,000 was authorized to be spent, with $889,893.91 being used. The difference of $3,766.94 was spent from the general budget. No vote was needed. Matt Thomas, Director of Marietta Baptist Camp and Conference Center, gave a report on the camp. Seventeen churches from Greenville participated

Detestimony – Fini Tribe: This was the “A” side of an EP called “Let the Tribe Grow,” written and recorded when the Fini Tribe was going through great musical changes. We had acquired an Ensoniq ‘Mirage’ sampling keyboard, and as was the same for a lot of bands at the time, it changed everything, opened up a lot of doors, and led us into some very uncharted waters. The actual piece was whittled down from a fifteen-minute opus we had written. I remember being in Philip Pinsky’s bedroom one night with John Vick. Philip’s then-roommate, Lindsay, gave us an old quarter-inch reel of tape he had. On it was a beautiful recording of the church bells you hear on the song; we sampled them and came up with the melody. The EP actually did better than any of us had anticipated and became a sort of hit in the Ibiza clubs at the very advent of the acid house/rave phenomenon. We actually went ahead and re-wrote/re- structured the song for the WaxTrax! Records release (“Make it Internal/Detestimony Revisited”) a couple of years later. 02. Mania – Murder Inc.: Certainly what I feel is the most compelling song on the one and only album released by Murder Inc. The band was basically Killing Joke, minus Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke’s singer), plus me, as well as the original drummer, Paul Fergusson, and newer drummer, Martin Atkins. The sessions took place at Pachyderm Studios in rural Minnesota during September of 1991.

This model was expanded upon by musicians in England and Germany during the late-1970s who developed the popular music style called Industrial as a fusion of experimental popular music sounds, performance art theatricality, and avant-garde composition.

    2020 Vision Welcome to the new year and to another semester full of celebrations, performances, exhibits and visions coming to fruition. The Millikin-Decatur Symphony Orchestra will celebrate 100 years of voting rights for women and Beethoven’s 250th birthday, and two outstanding candidates for the position of music director/conductor will serve as guest conductors for these concerts. This month will also feature a concert by world-class pianist and Millikin Associate Professor Silvan Negrutiu, performances by our award-winning percussion ensembles, a Valentine’s Day jazz concert with alumna Angel Spiccia ’03, a new spin on the operetta “The Pirates of Penzance” and an exhibition of the work of renowned ceramicist Simon Levin. See the calendar below for further details. Speaking of vision, the Center for Theatre & Dance is nearing its long-awaited completion. On the 24th of each month this spring, we will open the facility to tours for friends of the University who have supported the project or would like to do so. Please call the College of Fine Arts at 217.362.6499 to get your name on our list. Hard hats provided! The view from the large, glass-enclosed dance studio alone is worth a donation. Please have a look at the news from some of the “behind the scenes” places where our students and faculty do some of their best work: in Millitrax Recording Studio, on a bus with a touring industrial supergroup and various service locations within our own community. Your support for the Center for Theatre & Dance, the Patrons Society and ticket sales to performances and events is our lifeblood, and we work hard to pay it forward by creating meaning and value in your lives through engagement with the arts.

  • — Markus Fürgut Beszélget Nivek Ogrével, a Skinny Puppy Zenekar Énekesével
    Hullámtörés „Ebből a lelkületből marad valami" — Markus Fürgut beszélget Nivek Ogrével, a Skinny Puppy zenekar énekesével Az utóbbi évtizedekben csupán néhány együttes nőtte ki magát az elektronikus zenei szcéna kultikus szereplőjévé (Kraftwerk, DAF, Front 242 stb.) — természetesen a Skinny Puppy is közéjük sorolható. Amikor 1983-ban cEvin Key és Nivek Ogre úgy érezték, vízióikat ideje zenei köntösbe öltöztetni, döntésüket bármiféle komolyabb jövőkép felvázolása nélkül hozták meg. A műfajt alapjaiban megrengető albumaik (Remission; Bites; Cleanse, Fold & Manipulate) azonban csak az érem egyik oldala. A kemény elektronikus ritmusok, színpadi alakítások, horrorisztikus képi világ és mély érzelmek keverékéből álló művészetük rajongók tömegeit hozta izgalomba szerte a világban. A banda hatására gomba mód szaporodni kezdő imitátorok hordája idoljaik követésével még sötétebb színűre festették a véget: 1994-es fölbomlásukat rövid idő múlva követte Dwayne R. Goettel tragikus halála. Utolsó albumuk, a The Process már az ő emlékét is megidézte. A kanadai ipari legendáról az utolsó életjel egy remix album (Remix Dys Temper) formájában érkezett olyan szereplők közreműködésével, mint Rhys Fulber és a KMFDM. És most, 2000-ben, úgy tűnik, visszatérnek egy drezdai konce rten. Szóval ideje utána járni, mi történt. Nivek Ogre, a karizmatikus énekes (akiről kiderül, nemcsak nyitott elme, hanem őszinte beszőlgetőtárs is egyben) számos adalékkal szolgált a Skinny Puppy történetével kapcsolatban, miközben elmeséli lelke utáni nyomozását és a visszatérés okait. Markus Fürgut: Bombaként robbant a visszatérés híre. Miért döntöttetek így? Nivek Ogre: Féltem, hogy ezzel kezded. Számos különböző természetű okot sorolhatnék. Engem jó néhány komoly, személyes indok motivált; cEvin esete valúszínűleg teljesen más természetű. Az én életem mostanában igen rossz irányba haladt, rengeteg borzasztó dolog történt velem, komoly egészségügyi és pénzügyi problémáim akadtak.

  • MARTIN ATKINS BIO (300 WORDS) Martin Atkins Is the Definition of Entrepreneurial Activity in Cultural Arts Endeavors
    3319 S. Litucana Ave. Chicago, IL 60608 773.523.8316 www.tstouring.com MARTIN ATKINS BIO (300 WORDS) Martin Atkins is the definition of entrepreneurial activity in cultural arts endeavors. His three decades in the music business spans across genres, borders and industries. Having experience in nearly every aspect of record production and promotion has given Martin a unique perspective not only on where the music industry is currently, but where it is going in the future. After playing drums in a variety of English bands, Martin auditioned for and subsequently joined Johnny Rotten’s Public Image Limited in 1979. His first contribution to the band was co‐writing and performing on the song “Bad Baby” for the revered Metal Box LP. After touring the world with P.i.L and contributing to several more studio albums Martin left the group in 1985. Over the next five years, he played with and managed Killing Joke and toured with Ministry. In 1990, while on tour with Ministry, he formed his own band, Pigface. He also worked with Nine Inch Nails, performing on the Grammy award winning “Wish” and appearing in the “Head like a Hole” video. Martin began working on the business side of music in 1988 when he formed Invisible Records and then Mattress Factory Studios in 1996. Over two decades Invisible has released over 350 albums and has had placements spanning from the original Miami Vice to Showtime’s Queer as Folk to Robert Altman’s The Company. Atkins wrote his book Tour:Smart in 2007 and has since spoken around the world at major industry conferences, recognized universities, and nonprofit organizations.
