    Journal on the Art of Record Production » Artist Co-Management for th... http://arpjournal.com/886/artist-co-management-for-the-world-building-a... Issues Content Search About Contact Contribute ISSN: 1754-989 Guy Morrow Issue 5 | Conference Papers | July, 2011 Introduction This article draws an analogy between open-source software development and artist co-management networks, networks that form a platform for the facilitation of artists’ song writing and record production efforts. In the international popular music industry, the online environment is leading to more pressure being placed on artists and managers, rather than record labels, due to the fragmentation of the media landscape and the downsizing of recording labels. This is affecting the way in which song writing and record production are facilitated. In order for artist managers to help their clients to build and maximize their recording careers, the volatile environment that record labels are in means that artist managers must engineer new methods to effectively resource their clients’ album production. As the artist management role becomes even more central it brings extra overheads and responsibilities. An international network of co-managers is a possible solution for increasing management service provision for artists in this context. This is a context in which there is a lot more work for artist managers to do that perhaps requires expertise that artist managers do not necessarily have individually. This will arguably lead to the need for greater scale, particularly when artist managers are dealing internationally in order to assist their client’s song writing and record production efforts. This could lead to artist management becoming corporatized, or to the development of an extensive international co-management network (or both).

  • How Is Rush Canadian?
    Rush and Philosophy 2nd pages 3/11/11 1:56 PM Page 287 21 How Is Rush Canadian? DURRELL BOWMAN Given Canada’s relatively small population (twenty-one million in 1969, thirty-four million in 2009), many—but certainly not all—of the nation’s more ambitious musicians have pursued at least some of their career activities in the US and other foreign parts. Rush mainly demonstrates “Canadianness” by combining such British and American influences as progressive rock, hard rock, and indi- vidualism. However, the band has also included more specifically Canadian references across its long career. CanCon The Canadian government implemented specific content—or “CanCon”—regulations in 1971, and broadcasters were then required to include certain percentages of Canadian material. For music, at least two of a song recording’s four main categories of Music, Artist, Production, and Lyrics (“M-A-P-L”) must be “Canadian” according to citizenship or location. The interpretation of this changed after 1991, due to a “scandal” involving Bryan Adams failing to qualify as Canadian because of co-writing certain songs, such as “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You” ( Waking up the Neighbours and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves , both 1991), with such non-Canadians as Mutt Lange and Michael Kamen. (Spelling the word “neighbours” in the Canadian way apparently didn’t help.) The outcome is that even though Shania Twain similarly co- wrote the songs on Come on Over (1997) with her then-husband Mutt Lange and did not record any of this music in Canada, her album and its songs by that point qualified as Canadian.

The band's lead singer, bassist and keyboardist Geddy Lee called the track the band's defining musical work... since the early 1980s. It is one of Rush's most famous songs and a staple of both classic rock radio and Rush's live performances, which have been played on every concert tour since its release. The background and recording of the song were written by Lee, drummer Neil Peart and guitarist Alex Litson in collaboration with lyricist Pai Dubois of Max Webster, who also co-wrote Rush's Force Ten, Between Sun and Moon and Test for Echo. According to the American radio show In the Studio with Redbeard (which dedicated an episode to Moving Pictures), Tom Coyer appeared during the summer rehearsal break, which Rush spent on Ronnie Hawkins' farm outside Toronto. Pirt was presented with a poem by Dubois called Louis The Advocate (often incorrectly quoted as Louis Warrior), which he modified and expanded.
