Mélanie Seteun 228 Notes de lecture Ryan Edwardson, Canuck Rock: A History of Canadian Popular Music, Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 2009. Ryan Edwardson’s Canuck Rock: A History of Canadian Popular Music is a well-researched and well-written text with a misleading title. Primarily, this book is about the music indus- try in English-speaking Canada, and readers looking for analysis of musical sound, the social and cultural significance of music performance, or any sustained attention to Québécois musi- cians and the thriving industry in Quebec will be disappointed. That said, what falls within Edwardson’s scope is meticulously detailed— animated by personal interviews with major fig- ures in the industry, excerpts from mainstream Canadian media, music journalism and industry publications—and compellingly told. Through- out Canuck Rock, Edwardson works against the idea of “Canadian music,” refuting the claim that one can hear “Canadianness” in the music of certain artists (usually singer-songwriters like Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Gordon Lightfoot).

  • San Francisco Singer-Songwriter, Essence, Has Released Her Much
    San Francisco singer-songwriter, essence, has released her much anticipated third album entitled ‘Feels Like the Future,’ available now on iTunes, it’s sound is a distinct hybrid of electronica and indie pop. Deeply influenced by the sudden loss of her father in 2007, and inspired by the birth of her son, Rhys, only a few months later, “Feels Like the Future” is a collection of fourteen intimate and spirit lifting tracks that preserve essence’s trademark sound of blending sweeping vocals and honest lyrics. With this record, essence naturally communicates an arresting spectrum of emotion through music. Highlights of her new album include the opening title track ‘Feels Like the Future’ which won the GRAND PRIZE for The Great American Song Contest, as well as placement on NBC’s Access Hollywood. A prime example of life imitating art, this song basically wrote itself, upon meeting her future husband and father of her child. Its message is that of one of the great wonders of life: a declaration of love and a brave departure from the past. “Music is in my blood, this is what I’ve always done - it’s who I am. It’s non-negotiable.” This is essence talking about a suggestion from her grandfather that she consider going to law school, give up making music and get serious. And if you’ve gotten the sense that she declined, turned away from the well-worn path to conventional success for the sake of her music, you’re right. So - just to clear things up right now - essence is her real name.

  • Joint Authors: When Are Collaborators in a Musical Work Entitled to Share in the Copyright of the Work?
    Joint Authors: When Are Collaborators in a Musical Work Entitled To Share In The Copyright Of The Work? by Robert Lesperance LESPERANCE MENDES Lawyers 410 – 900 Howe Street Vancouver, BC V6Z 2M4 604-685-3567 (tel) 604-685-7505 (fax) 2 A much anticipated celebrity copyright decision was handed down by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in December of 1999. In Neudorf v. Nettwerk Productions Ltd. et al.1 the court had to decide whether Mr. Neudorf was the co-owner of the copyright in four musical works which appeared on phonograph record containing performances by one of the defendants, Sarah McLachlan, a well known Canadian singer and songwriter. This record was commercially released by the defendant record company in September of 1988 under the title Touch. It was an important album in launching Ms. McLachlan’s career. Mr. Neudorf claimed that he co-authored four songs, namely: “Strange World,” “Steaming,” “Vox” and “Sad Clown.” He also claimed damages for breach of copyright arising out of the defendants’ use of these songs. The Basic Facts Mr. Neudorf was a musician, a drummer for a Vancouver band called 54-40. He was an acquaintance of Mr. Jowett, a principal of the defendant Nettwerk. In 1987, Nettwerk offered Ms. McLachlan a $5,000 recording contract. In September 1987 Ms. McLachlan began work on the Touch project in Vancouver. In the fall of 1987, Mr. Jowett invited Mr. Neudorf to come to Vancouver to work on the Touch project. The plaintiff accepted the offer in return for his airfare, accommodation and a weekly per diem.
