Being Asked The Hard Questions

Posted Thursday, February 9, 2012

Being Asked The Hard Questions
Featuring Tyler Grant
CBC Radio Intern
February 9, 2012
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

In Tyler’s words:

“I’ve been up and down roads, and I’ve even made a few. I’ve travelled here and there, and I’ve come back home only to meet a little green car head on. Sure, I’ve driven cars and worked on them, but never in my life did I think I’d get that chance to interview one. Let me tell you, it was a thrilling ride from start to finish.”

This photo was shot during an interview with CBC Radio’s Radio Active show.  The ambient noise during the interview is from the traffic that skirted us while we shot and recorded.  Click below to listen to the interview broadcast on CBC Radio 1 on February 26, 2012.


The interview is also archived on the CBC website at:

One Lovin’ With Waymatea

Posted Sunday, February 5, 2012

One Lovin’ With Waymatea
Featuring Waymatea/Sista J of Souljah Fyah
Musician
And a heart-shaped quartz
February 5, 2012
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Waymatea, also known as Sista J of Souljah Fyah, is studying with the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers to become a Minister of Walking Prayer.

Souljah Fyah were the 2011 WCMA Winners – Urban Recording of the Year, 2009 JUNO nominees, 2008 Western Canada Music Award winners, and twice-declared the best Reggae band in Canada by the Canadian Reggae Music Awards and the Reggae Music Achievement Awards.  They never fail to lift spirits or heat up a crowd. They have played with Lilith Fair, the Edmonton Folk Fest, the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, and at the Grey Cup Festivals in Montreal and Calgary, but Edmonton is home, and over the past decade they have been Reggae’s best evangelists in Western Canada.  In November 2010 they released their highly anticipated third studio album, “I Wish,” a project which took them to new heights sonically and lyrically, while remaining true to their roots-reggae sound. It’s on the merits of their live show, however, that Souljah Fyah has managed to accomplish what they have. As Shelly Gummeson from Earshot-Online wrote: “On and off stage…[lead singer] Janaya ‘Sista J’ Ellis, exudes a high voltage, positive energy. Unfettered without setting limitations is precisely the attitude and energy that has propelled Edmonton’s Souljah Fyah to become Canada’s top Reggae band.”  See http://www.souljahfyah.com for more info.

Striking A Chord With The Laureate

Striking A Chord With The Laureate
Featuring Evgeny Starodubtsev
February 5, 2012
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

The New York Times calls Russian pianist Evgeny Starodubtsev “an accomplished and probing artist”.

Starodubtsev was named Laureate of Canada’s Honens International Piano Competition in 2009, and won Lithuania’s Ciurlionis Competition in 2011. After introduction to music by way of accordion at a young age, he studied piano and composition at the Moscow State Conservatory’s Central Music School before entering the Conservatory and continuing piano studies with Natalia Troull. Starodubtsev splits his time between piano performance and composing. His compositions include chamber works for varied instruments, including woodwinds, strings and harp. This performer-composer combination no doubt accounts for his sense of adventure and intelligent approach to music-making. He has an affinity for music of the 20th century and revels in revealing this repertory’s wonder and beauty.

Assistant Curator & Curator, Quaternary (Ice Age) Palaeontology
November 30, 2011
Royal Alberta Museum
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Chris is the Curator of Quaternary Palaeontology at the Royal Alberta Museum (RAM).  Chris received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in December 2007.  Shortly thereafter, he accepted his current position with the RAM, moved his family to Alberta, and bought lots of cold weather gear.

Peter Milot is the Assistant Curator of Quaternary Palaeontology at the RAM.  Peter has worked in the Quaternary Palaeontology Program since 1987.  Chris and Peter conduct field and laboratory research in order to understand the spatial and temporal distributions of animals that lived during the Ice Age.

Part of their current research is measuring isolated mammoth teeth in the collections at the RAM to determine if dental characteristics support the hypothesis that at least two species of mammoths occurred in Alberta during the Ice Age.  In this photo, Miguelito’s little green car is on top of a mammoth tooth specimen estimated to be at least 10,000 years old.

Celebrating Freedom + Forgiveness With Amanda

Celebrating Freedom + Forgiveness With Amanda
Featuring Amanda Lindhout
Former Journalist, Founder of the Global Enrichment Foundation
November 23, 2011
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Today, November 25, 2011 is the second anniversary of Amanda’s release.

In 2008 Amanda Lindhout traveled to Somalia as a freelance journalist to research a story on the millions of people affected by two decades of war, drought and famine. Three days after arriving in the country, she was kidnapped by teenage criminals outside of the capital city, Mogadishu, Lindhout spent 460 days as a hostage in one of the world’s poorest countries. Following her release in November 2009, she became an unlikely and passionate advocate for a peaceful future in Somalia. Only four months after returning home, Lindhout founded the Global Enrichment Foundation to ignite leadership in Somalia through sustainable development initiatives.

No longer a journalist, Lindhout has advised international governments, non-profits, business leaders and policy makers on the importance of using education to counter the radicalization of youth and provides insight onto the interrelated issues of poverty and violence against women.

She has been featured in ELLE magazine and appeared on The Today Show, Anderson Cooper 360, CNN, CTV’s Canada AM, CBC’s The National, Radio Canada International, BBC, MSNBC, and a variety of other TV and radio programs both domestic and international speaking about her humanitarian mission in Somalia.

Lindhout studied Development Leadership at the Coady International Institute at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada.

“When I found her on a local farm she was bloody and missing her front paws. I brought her back to Edmonton and took her to a local vet.  He gave her a shot of antibiotics for free but told me that there was nothing he could do for my Mickey. But I washed and cleaned her wounds every other day and after five months she was able to get around. I love her with all my heart and it goes to show that love heals all.”

August 25, 2011
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

After The Earth Is Saved was a collaborative art piece in which Gerry took suggestions from the public during the 2010 edition of The Works Festival in Edmonton.  Early in the process, he drew Miguelito’s Little Green Car into the piece.

The sign reads:

After The Earth Is Saved, what will utopia look like?… Will there be cars? Will it be like the Jetsons? Will sharks be nice? Will only cute animals exist? Will we be nude? Not nude? Advances in genetic engineering? What about people who like to complain? Where will zombies fit in?

View the full-size image to see the super hero along the top holding the car, along with the rest of the piece.
