  • BIO POESY Is Quickly Becoming One of the Most Exciting New Canadian
    POSEY BIO POESY is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new Canadian voices. Influenced by innovative enigmatic artists like Kate Bush and Freddie Mercury, as well as 90s alternative rock queens PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, and Alanis Morissette, the Toronto-based artist has formed a gritty and unmistakable sound that demands to be heard. Pairing inspiration from her favourite novels with vulnerable confessions from her own life, POESY’s dark and powerful alt-rock rhythms makes it possible to dance and cry and wonder and hope all at once. During her 2018 participation in CTV’s The Launch, POESY collaborated with composer/ producer Stephan Moccio (Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne) to release the top 40 single Soldier of Love. The track drew comparisons to powerful rock front-women Amy Lee and Florence Welch and set the stage for POESY to be a new alternative voice to watch. She signed a major label deal with Big Machine Label Group in May (2018). Following the national success of the single, POESY went on to give spellbinding performances at several Canadian music festivals. POESY has since joined forces with acclaimed producer and now-artist manager, Gavin Brown (Metric, Three Days Grace, Billy Talent) to build on her sound and artistic vision. The two have built up an eclectic, intensely emotional body of work to be released soon. Strange Little Girl is POESY’s first single from the project - an unapologetic feminist anthem, uniting unusual girls to step into the spotlight. POESY is a mirror for her audience; a place where they can see their own struggles, fears, desires, and dreams reflected back in an empowering larger than life performance to be shared together.

  • Écriture, Composition & Édition Musicale
    UNE CÉLÉBRATION DE L’EXCELLENCE CANADIENNE EN Écriture, Composition & Édition musicale BIENVENUE AU SOCAN AWARDS 2021 Bien que la situation en 2021 nous empêche, pour une deuxième fois, de présenter notre Gala des Prix SOCAN en personne à Toronto, cela ne nous empêche pas de célébrer – en ligne – les grandes réalisations des auteurs, compositeurs, compositeurs à l’image et éditeurs de musique du Canada en 2020. Félicitations à tous les lauréats des prix SOCAN 2021 ! Jamais dans notre histoire, la relation entre la création et la consommation de musique n’a été aussi intrinsèquement liée. Nous n’avons jamais eu autant besoin de musique, et les créateurs et éditeurs de musique n’ont jamais eu autant besoin de l’engagement de la SOCAN pour trouver, percevoir et répartir leurs redevances. La musique a rendu le confinement moins pénible, elle nous a donné l’impression que nous ne sommes pas seuls quand on travaille de la maison et elle a rendu plus normales les vidéoconférences avec nos amis et notre famille. L’année 2020 nous a rappelé le lien profond que nous avons avec la musique et le rôle énorme qu’elle joue dans notre santé mentale et émotionnelle, mais au-delà de tout ça, 2020 a révélé les disparités dans le soutien aux créateurs et éditeurs de musique par rapport aux autres industries. Il nous incombe de plaider en faveur d’un pays qui valorise la création musicale et qui assure aux créateurs et aux éditeurs de musique au moins les mêmes avantages et la même sécurité qu’aux autres.

  • Kishimoto Snyder-Popular Music in FRBR and RDA (Accepted
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Cataloging & Classification Quarterly on 21 Dec. 2015, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/01639374.2015.1105898. Popular Music in FRBR and RDA: Toward User-Friendly and Cataloger-Friendly Identification of Works Kevin Kishimoto (University of Chicago) & Tracey Snyder (Cornell University) Abstract: The gradual adoption since 2010 of the content standard Resource Description and Access, based on the conceptual model Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, has brought change to many areas of library cataloging, including popular music. In particular, the cataloging community has had to grapple with new practices in assigning access points for resources once considered simple, such as popular music albums containing songs written by people other than the featured recording artist. This article outlines some of the difficulties encountered and offers a principled approach to cataloging popular music that would reduce cataloger burden and reconcile catalog data with users' expectations. INTRODUCTION Who can forget the deliciously awkward scene in the 2001 romantic comedy Bridget Jones’s Diary in which the hapless title character performs a badly out-of-tune rendition of the classic ballad “Without You” at a party at the office, with a smoking cigarette in her hand and at least a few drinks in her system? If you grew up in, or were at least present for, the 1970s, you probably recognized this as the late Harry Nilsson’s hit single from 1971. If you were young in the 1990s, you may instead have recognized this as Mariah Carey’s hit single from 1994.
