20 Of The Greatest Isolated Guitar Tracks From Jimi Hendrix

Widely recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians of the 20th century, Jimi Hendrix pioneered the explosive possibilities of the electric guitar. Hendrix’s innovative style of combining fuzz, feedback and controlled distortion created a new musical form. Because he was unable to read or write music, it is nothing short of remarkable that Jimi Hendrix’s meteoric rise in the music took place in just four short years. His musical language continues to influence a host of modern musicians, from George Clinton to Miles Davis, and Steve Vai to Jonny Lang.

Check out these amazing and astonishing isolated guitar tracks from Jimi.

National Music Centre launches special exhibition dedicated to Sarah McLachlan on March 29

The National Music Centre (NMC) is pleased to launch a new temporary exhibition at Studio Bell in partnership with The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), honouring 2017 Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee Sarah McLachlan.

The launch coincides with this weekend’s 2017 JUNO Awards, where McLachlan will be honoured during the televised broadcast on Sunday, April 2.

One of the most celebrated singer-songwriters in entertainment, the multi-platinum award-winning performer has achieved international acclaim as a musician and philanthropist. McLachlan has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, and released iconic hits, like “Building a Mystery,” “Angel,” and “Sweet Surrender,” which continue to have a lasting impact today.

“I’m incredibly honoured by this exhibition that features my work as a songwriter, as well as my efforts to give back and build stronger communities through music,” said Sarah McLachlan. “Music is a gift that’s meant to be shared and I was happy to be able to loan many beloved pieces to the National Music Centre for this exhibition.”

The exhibition, called Milestones: Sarah McLachlan, will be located on Studio Bell’s fifth floor, and will feature a wide selection of awards and artifacts from McLachlan, including her CP-80M electric grand piano, used during her Lilith Fair performances; her Kay “Barney Kessel” electric guitar, which appears on McLachlan’s sophomore album, Solace; and a Kala ukulele. Other treasures shared by McLachlan include hand-written lyric sheets, original tour books, and an outfit she wore at Lilith Fair.

Visitors will gain a better understanding of McLachlan’s landmark career from her first recording contract at age 19 with Nettwerk; her role as the founder of Lilith Fair, the most successful all-female concert series in North America that sought to bring musical communities together, and raised in excess of $7 million dollars for local and national charities; her support for free music education for under-served youth in Canada; and her creative process as a performer and artist.

“As the physical home of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, NMC will continue to fulfill its national mandate by working closely with the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, and others to showcase the remarkable contributions of Canadian musicians, past and present, through on-site programming and exhibitions at Studio Bell,” said Andrew Mosker, President and CEO, NMC.

“CARAS is excited to see this exhibition launched in partnership with the National Music Centre, and to continue this annual tradition of honouring our iconic Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees,” said Allan Reid, President and CEO, CARAS.

Milestones: Sarah McLachlan is accessible with paid admission to Studio Bell, and will run from March 29, 2017 until the fall of this year.

Song translations usually suck: and it’s because you either have to lose the meaning or the sound. This video talks about syllabic vs melisamatic singing, about music, and about Beethoven.

How sign language innovators are bringing music to the deaf

Amber Galloway Gallego is one of a growing number of ASL interpreters that specializes in the performing arts, specifically music. She’s interpreted for over 400 artists at this point and has a special knack for interpreting hip-hop acts like Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

If we merely show the sign for music then we are doing an injustice as an interpreter. So after listening to the beat and how their their tonality is and all the instruments then what I do is I break it down from English to ASL. So rhyming, metaphor, and wordplay are an intrinsic part of lyrical music especially hip-hop. …Since the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 concert venues have been required to provide interpreters for deaf attendees. …It’s vitally important that concert venues hire interpreters who understand the emotional power of music.

Brave New Waves Radio Show Releasing Rheostatics and The Grapes Of Wrath Sessions

Canada has more than our 150th year anniversary to celebrate in 2017: this year Toronto-based Artoffact Records will be releasing many of the inaugural BRAVE NEW WAVES sessions via CD, Digitally and on Vinyl.
It will be the first time these sessions have been released commercially to the public. Each release will include the songs performed during the program along with conducted interviews with the session’s host.

Brave New Waves was a Canadian radio program, which aired on CBC from 1984 to 2007 five nights a week. The show profiled alternative and indie music and culture, including film, comics, literature and art. Longtime host Brent Bambury once described the show as “explaining fringe culture to a comfortable mainstream audience” and his successor Patti Schmidt said it was “invented with an idea of what John Peel’s show was, but without ever having heard it.”

The show was inducted into Hour magazine’s Montreal Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.

Artoffact Records is a Toronto-based record label founded in 1999 that has released and reissued nearly 300 records in a variety of genres, including industrial, rock, metal, punk, pop, and avant-garde. Notable artists include 3TEETH, Xandria, Legend, Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy’s Cevin Key, as well as an impressive list of Canadian reissues from artists such as 808 State, The Gruesomes, Nash the Slash, Psyche, and Download.

First two releases will be BRAVE NEW WAVES sessions with Rheostatics and The Grapes Of Wrath, to be release on May 5th.

Tegan and Sara have released a short film for their single “U-turn” from their album Love You to Death. The film, shot in Toronto by director Emma Higgins explores the give and take of relationships through the lens of a group of teenage women. The release of this film follows the recent announcements, which will see Tegan and Sara perform on a number of Canadian festival dates, as well as a highly anticipated headline show in Halifax. See below for a full list of upcoming Canadian tour dates.

Of the video, Tegan Quin says “When you’re young, some of your strongest and most rewarding relationships are with your friends. The kind who support you to become who you really are. Inspired by U-turn and classic girl crew nostalgia, we want to celebrate those kinds of bonds with this short film from director Emma Higgins. This was our first time experimenting so far beyond the boundaries of a more traditional music video for one of our songs, and we are so thrilled with how it turned out!”

Director Emma Higgins says of the experience of creating the film, “I loved this song’s story of the give and take of being in a relationship and was inspired to relate this idea to the friendships between young women. We had a cast of talented, unique, and passionate young women who brought so much personality to their roles. Adding to the strong female influence, our crew was comprised of almost entirely women, which made this project an extra special experience.”

Toronto based designer, Hayley Elsaesser, says of her inspiration for the iconic clothing in this film, “I love the premise of the video, all about friendship and celebrating individuality. These are the kinds of girls I design clothes for so I thought it was a perfect fit. I also really appreciated the message: the fact that this is about showing women bringing each other up, I think that’s an important message.”
In addition to the upcoming tour dates, Tegan and Sara have also launched a promotion around the release of the new “U-turn” film. One lucky winner will receive 2 passes to see Tegan and Sara at Wayhome Music & Arts Festival, an assortment of Tegan and Sara merchandise and an autographed vinyl copy of Love You to Death. What’s more, the winner will receive the ‘80s- inspired fashion pieces designed by Hayley Elsaesser, including the scissor jacket from the “U-turn” film, a pair of Slime Time sunnies, a serpentine patch and Heavenly Socks. To enter, fans should click over to Tegan and Sara’s Facebook page here.

Tegan and Sara have been nominated for three Juno Awards this year, including Group of the Year and Songwriter of the Year, as well as receiving a nomination for Pop Album of the Year for Love You to Death. This brings their total number of Juno Award nominations to 12, with three wins at the 2014 Juno Awards. a
