Spectrum History W. Visuals 1980 – 2020 Celebrating 40 Years! Spectrum A&E Media 1980-2020 Celebrating 40 Years! Spectrum Productions was established in 1980 in Regina, Saskatchewan to provide multimedia resources for organizations working with students in Canada. A board of committed friends sacrificially stood behind Keith and Jenny Martin to help raise support and give direction to the work. Spectrum’s Roots The roots of Spectrum go back to 1970, when Keith, having graduated with a B.A. in psychology and a minor in philosophy from the University of Regina, spent time at L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. L’Abri was and still is a live-in student community founded by Francis and Edith Schaeffer to explore answers to basic philosophical questions from a Christian worldview. 2 In 1971 Keith, Steve Archer and Art Pearson applied for and received a federal Opportunities For Youth grant for a summer project called Street Level: A Multimedia Culture Probe. Inspired by seeing 2100 Productions in the United States, they wanted to do something similar in Canada. With a budget of $8,800 they hired 8 students (Keith, Steve, Art, Gene Haas, Chris Molnar, Steve and Lorne Seibert, and Linda McArdell—and Henry Friesen for the presentation phase) at $1,000 each for 3 months of work. That left $800, and lots of borrowed eQuipment, to produce a 5-screen, 7-projector 80 minute multi-media presentation using contemporary music to look at what people were living for. 3 Some of the artists used in the production were Pink Floyd, Simon & Garfunkle, Strawbs, STREET LEVEL Steppenwolf, Leonard Cohen, Cat Stevens, Moody Soundtrack (1971) Blues, Traffic, Chicago, Procol Harem, Black “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” - Pink Floyd (Ummagumma) “At the Zoo” - Simon & Garfunkle (Bookends) “I’ve Got a Story” - Gary Wright (Extraction) Sabbath, King Crimson, and Ford Theatre. The “Martin Luther King’s Dream” - Strawbs (Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios) production ended with Nietzsche’s “Parable of “Power Play” - Steppenwolf (Monster) “The Stories of the Street” (st. 1, 2) - Leonard Cohen (Songs of Leonard Cohen) “MLK’s Dream” (last verse) - Strawbs the Madman,” comparing us to planets in need of Electronic music - The Wild Bull a sun for light and warmth. “Where Do the Children Play?” - Cat Stevens (Tea for the Tillerman) “How Is It We Are Here?” - Moody Blues (A Question of Balance) “Genesis in Reverse/Careful .

Axe” - Nietzsche/Pink Floyd “Who You Belong To” - Ford Theatre (Trilogy for the Masses) “Postlude” - Ford Theatre (Trilogy for the Masses) 4 Chapter I: Exploring Values and Beliefs (1980-88) After completing an Honours B.A., a Master of Divinity degree, and marrying Jenny Milone in Nyack, N.Y., in 1980 Keith and a board of friends (Merv Hepting, Verlyn Wilson, Bill Hall, Jenny, and later Gary Nelson) founded Spectrum Productions Association in Regina, Saskatchewan as a nonprofit media organization exploring values and beliefs. With a Canada Summer Youth Employment Program grant they hired 4 students, Karen Travis, Darrel Reid, Daryl McKinnon, and Daryle Niedermayer—all Darrels spelled differently(!) and then joined for a few weeks by Keith’s brother Darrell, also spelled differently. Together with Keith, Jenny and Joanne Austring, they produced the first version of In Search of a Sun, a 3-screen, 9-projector multimedia presentation. 6 In 1981, with help from photographer Don Riggott from Minnesota, Spectrum produced Between Reflections: A Hard Look At an Eclipsed Sun, exploring the possibility that the God of Judeo-Christianity offers what we are looking for as an adeQuate sun to answer to and to belong to. 7 Here are the soundtrack lists for the original productions. IN SEARCH OF A SUN Soundtrack (1980 version) BETWEEN REFLECTIONS: A hard look at an eclipsed sun Soundtrack (1981) (Introduction) “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” - Pink Floyd (Ummagumma) “Have Mercy Love” - Janice Ian (Night Rains) “Long Away” - Queen (U) “Is There Anybody Out There?” - Pink Floyd (The Wall) (Materialism) “When All the Laughter Dies in Sorrow” - Chicago (Chicago III) “The Winner” - Randy Stonehill (Welcome to Paradise) “Meanings Will Change” - Paul Stookey (Paul And) “Dialogue With the Devil” (st. 1) - Bruce Cockburn (Sunwheel Dance) N1 (Sex) “Comfortably Numb” - Pink Floyd (The Wall) “Open Invitation” - Santana (Inner Secrets) “Pardon Me” - Larry Norman (Only Visiting This Planet) N2 “Dialogue” (st. 3) - Cockburn “Rumours of Glory” - Bruce Cockburn (Humans) (Fun & Entertainment) “Fun It” - Jackson Browne (Lawyers in Love) “Bedsitter” - Soft Cell (Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret) N3 (Pursuit of knowledge) “Benediction” - Stealers Wheel (Right or Wrong) “I Robot” (instrumental) - Alan Parsons Project (I Robot) “Long Long Way” - Ian Thomas (Long Long Way) N4 “Epitaph” - King Crimson (In the Court of the Crimson King) “You Don’t Have to Play the Horses” (vs. 3) - Bruce Cockburn (Night Vision) “He is Risen” (pt. 1) - John Michael Talbot (The Beautiful City) (Comic Reflief) “The Great American Cure” - Randy Stonehill (The Sky Is Falling) N5 “Horses” (vs. 4) - Cockburn “Death in Jerusalem” - Parchment (Hollywood Sunset) (Love & Friendship) “Journey to Calvary” - Clear Light Productions (Because I Am) “That’s Enough for Me” - Peter Yarrow (That’s Enough for Me) “This Morning” - Justin Hayward & John Lodge (Blue Jays) N6 (Human Potential) “Be Careful What You Sign” - Larry Norman (So Long Ago the Garden) “Willpower” - Dominic Troiano (Burnin’ At The Stake) “Dust in the Wind” - Kansas (Point of Know Return) N7 (Transcendental Options) “On the Other Side” - Kansas (Monolith) “He is Risen” (pt. 2) - John Michael Talbot “Questions” - Manfred Mann’s Earth Band (The Roaring Silence) N8 (Conclusion) “Time” (pt. 1) - Pink Floyd (The Dark Side of the Moon) “Hallelu” - John Michael Talbot (Beginnings) “On the Other Side” (vs. 3) - Kansas “Invisible Sun” (excerpt) - The Police (The Ghost in the Machine) “Time” (pt. 2) - Pink Floyd N9 “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” (ending) - Pink Floyd “Reflections” - Cliff Richard (About That Man) (Postlude) “More Not More” - Bruce Cockburn (Humans) N10 “Dweller By a Dark Stream” - Bruce Cockburn (Mummy Dust) Spectrum’s original brochure explained why the name Spectrum was chosen: SPECTRUM . Examining the full range of what people believe in . Reflecting sights and sounds in a clear pattern and progression of thought . Shedding light on what it means to be human, made in God’s image. This is Spectrum. A few years later, even as part of Inter-Varsity, the last line would be changed to “Shedding light on what it means to be human—physically, socially, spiritually.” That is what Spectrum’s brochures have said ever since. 8 In the fall of 1981 Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship in Alberta hired Keith and Jenny to show both productions in universities and colleges across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, based out of Calgary. In January of 1982 Keith and Jenny and Spectrum moved to Toronto to work with IVCF Ontario under the leadership of Don Posterski. For 2 years Keith was also the IVCF staff worker at York University. 9 In the summer of 1982 Tom Balke helped strengthen the productions with his excellent photography. In 1983 Keith and Jenny took a break from Spectrum and travelled to Europe and Israel for the summer. In 1984, with help from John Sharp, Darrell Martin and Jill Jones, In Search of a Sun was updated and renamed In Search of a Sun: An InQuiry into Values. 10 Here is the soundtrack list for the 1984 version. IN SEARCH OF A SUN: An Inquiry Into Values Soundtrack (1984 version) (Introduction) “Dazzle Ships” (instrumental) - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (Dazzle Ships) “The Things That Dreams Are Made Of” - The Human League (Dare) (Material possessions) “Money” - Pink Floyd (The Dark Side of the Moon) “Candy Man’s Gone” - Bruce Cockburn (The Trouble With Normal) (Sensual pleasure) “Open Invitation” - Santana (Inner Secrets) “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” - Eurythmics (Sweet Dreams) (Partying & entertainment) “For a Rocker” - Jackson Browne (Lawyers in Love) “Bedsitter” - Soft Cell (Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret) (Comic Relief) “The Great American Cure” - Randy Stonehill (The Sky Is Falling) (Love & friendship) “Hold Me Now” - Thompson Twins (Into the Gap) “This Morning” - Justin Hayward & John Lodge (Blue Jays) (The pursuit of knowledge) “I Robot” (instrumental) - Alan Parsons Project (I Robot) “Pretending to See the Future” - O.M.D. (Orchestral Manoeuvres

  • Christianity & the Arts, Wi
    Christianity & the Arts, Winter 2000 The Magazine Christianity & the Arts Online Winter 2000 Homecoming Lyrics of Canadian Songwriter Bruce Cockburn By Brian Walsh At home in the darkness but hungry for dawn . Forgetfulness is the temptation of homelessness. Elie Wiesel puts it this way: "The one who forgets to come back has forgotten the home he or she came from and where he or she is going. Ultimately, one might say that the opposite of home is not distance but forgetfulness. One who forgets, forgets everything, including the roads leading homeward." This relation of home and memory is, of course, not alien to the Scriptures. Indeed, it is precisely forgetfulness that is seen to occasion the homelessness of exile, and it is memory that keeps the vision of homecoming alive while in exile. "Don't forget where you have come from, who led you out of slavery and who gave you this bountiful land," says Deuteronomy 8, lest you go into exile. And when exile does befall forgetful Israel, it is memory of Yahweh's past faithfulness - memories of Abraham and Sarah, Noah, David, indeed of creation and exodus - that funds the prophetic imagination and keeps alive the vision of homecoming. If home is a place of deeply rooted memories, then homelessness is a state of amnesia in which we forget who we are precisely because we forget where we come from. And as long as the amnesia holds, there is no way back, no homecoming. The themes of home, homelessness, and homecoming, together with the motif of memory, are ubiquitous in the lyrics of Canadian songwriter and performer, Bruce Cockburn.

  • No Labels, Please! Music Is Evolutionary Process for Cockburn Meyers Sharp, Jo Ellen
    7/7/15, 9:04 PM Back to previous page document 1 of 1 No labels, please! Music is evolutionary process for Cockburn Meyers Sharp, Jo Ellen. Indianapolis Star [Indianapolis, Ind] 25 Oct 1994: C.5. Abstract (summary) Despite nearly 25 years in the music business and superstar status in his native Canada, the 49- year-old singer-songwriter is both an unknown and an anomaly in the United States. Down at the bus station Shark grins and sandpaper conversations Men's faces women's bodies on the magazine stand And a headline about Sarajevo and Tehran. Full Text JO ELLEN MEYERS SHARP Bruce Cockburn Where: The Vogue, 6259 N. College Ave. When: 8 p.m. Wednesday. Tickets: $15 in advance, $16 day of show; (317) 259-7029. The inability to pigeon-hole Bruce Cockburn and his style of music can make him a hard sell. Despite nearly 25 years in the music business and superstar status in his native Canada, the 49-year-old singer-songwriter is both an unknown and an anomaly in the United States. He gained some recognition in this country with the release in 1984 of Stealing Fire and the protest anthem If I Had A Rocket Launcher. His popularity, however, has increased in recent years http://search.proquest.com.ezproxy.ilibrary.org/indianapolisstar/printviewfile?accountid=46127 Page 1 of 6 7/7/15, 9:04 PM with the development of adult album alternative stations on radio. Bloomington's WTTS-FM (92.3), for example, has regularly played cuts from Cockburn's lastest disc, Dart to the Heart, and his 1991 release, Nothing But A Burning Light.

  • In Conversation with Bruce Cockburn
    IN CONVERSATION WITH BRUCE COCKBURN BY M.D. Dunn Bruce Cockburn laughs a lot. It might surprise people familiar with only his heavier songs or the many causes he has championed. He even makes jokes, clever and funny jokes. His conversation is punctuated by belly laughs and a wit that runs from dry and cutting to outright silliness. Truth is, this legendary songwriter doesn’t recognize his own legend. Throughout his 50-year career, which he calls a “careen,” Cockburn has participated in numerous grassroots actions: working to help ban landmines in Mozambique and elsewhere, supporting the Haida and the Lubicon Cree in land rights disputes, promoting sustainable farming, and witnessing the desperation of refugees in Central America. Many of these concerns end up in his songs and have perpetuated the image of a cold intellectual, a worldly and jaded observer of human folly. WINTER / HIVER 2020 15 His autobiography, Rumours of Glory (Harper Collins, 2014), is one of the most impressive and articulate musical memoirs in recent memory. While the book does discuss Cockburn’s life, it is more accurately a document of some of the major conflicts and cultural developments of the late 20th century. Like its author, the memoir looks outward, always working to recognize truth behind appearance. He has also championed literature in an artform that often draws from humanity’s baser interests. His lyrics are precise, often narrative in form, sometimes brutal. Yet, listening closely, there is also humour, faith, and undaunted hope. The song “Maybe the Poet” from the 1984 album Stealing Fire argues for the importance of poetry, even if it goes unacknowledged by the greater culture.

  • Issue Number 25 February 1998
    Gavin’s Woodpile – The Bruce Cockburn Newsletter Edited by Daniel Keebler Issue Number 25 February 1998 Mali and The River of Sand Bruce Cockburn will travel with a Canadian documentary crew to Mali in February, to capture the life and livelihood of the people of the West African country. Cockburn will spend a month exploring the country. His itinerary will include stops in the legendary city of Timbuktu as well as the heart of Dogon country, home to one of Africa’s most ancient and fascinating cultures. Along the way, he will cross musical paths with some of Mali’s most well known musicians. His findings will be part of a one hour, made-for-broadcast documentary, River of Sand . It will provide a blend of music and culture while addressing the serious issues facing the people of the country. The film will be produced by Kensington Communications of Toronto. Cockburn, who will narrate and host the film, will also spend time in the Douentza district. There he will have the opportunity to view, first-hand, the ongoing life and death struggle of the local people in overcoming a serious drought this year. As well, he will investigate the progress being made in fighting back the desert, with the assistance of a Canadian development organization, USC Canada (www.usc-canada.org). The singer/songwriter is well known for his interest in environmental issues through his work as spokesperson for USC over the last 25 years. River of Sand will be aired nationally by Vision TV and regionally by TV Ontario and Saskatchewan Education Network.
