Audio Stepchild Releases ?Every Coincidence Is Significant? on May 22nd though WIDEawake Death Row Entertainment.

Posted on May 7, 2012 by admin

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

Audio Stepchild is a hip-hop collective from Louisville, Kentucky. They got their professional start in 2001 when signed to Houston, Texas based record label BCD Music Group, a company affiliated with Tony Draper of the legendary Suave House Records. Eleven years have passed from the time Audio Stepchild released their debut album ?Land Of The Snake Charmer?, an album that featured Prince, Papa Rue and Joe Traxx.

Fast forward to 2012 and their current album ?Every Coincidence is Significant? is being released on May 22nd through Hoopla Worldwide and WIDEawake Entertainment (who acquired Death Row Records for $ 18 Million). This new album introduces a sonically ground-breaking new genre of music they?ve personally dubbed as ?Dust Music? for the listener to experience. Audio Stepchild co-founder Atlas Jenkins said, ?We wanted to create something free form and not necessarily constrained by the restrictions of a given genre of music.”

The upcoming ?Every Coincidence is Significant? album has several features from different members of multi-platinum Nappy Roots, Tha Chill of Compton?s Most Wanted, Jayo Felony, Knoc-turn?al, MC Breed, Roc Raida, Sabrina, Michael Barber, Nasim, Staxx N Waxx, Big A LTA and Illuminati Sky. This new studio album from Audio Stepchild has been a decade in the making and was worked on by Grammy Award-winning engineers such as Bruce Swedien, Rodney Mills (Georgia Music Hall of Fame inductee), Niko Marzouca (Lauryn Hill), Bryan Jackson and others.

The first single ?Sofa Bed? features Buffalo Stille aka B. Stille from Nappy Roots who described his collaboration with Audio Stepchild as ?A different side of me that I don’t really get to display in Nappy Roots songs. It’s a feel-good song and a lot of people are gonna laugh on every line.”

Tragically, while filming the video in Nottingham, England for “Sofa Bed?, director Retep Srevlihc died on the set. The album?s executive producer Jonathan Hay said, ?We lost three people during the long and painful process of making this album: MC Breed, Grandmaster Roc Raida and Retep Srevlihc, and all three will be honored with this release.? Group representative Michael Bentley told SOHH, ?It was a crazy experience. That’s my mission, to carry on that legacy.?

The animated cover art was created by group member Sabrina and was inspired by a musician?s tattoo at Prince?s Paisley Park Studio in Minnesota. As she explained to top celebrity media outlet Dr Funkenberry: “It?s my interpretation of a design that Jonathan [Hay] described on a musician that played with Prince. Also, it sort of embodies a visual trance similar to what I see when I listen to Prince. Just funky, colorful, and cool. It makes you think.” Audio Stepchild has signed on with John Houston Entertainment (Whitney Houston?s father?s company that also once represented the late superstar) for exclusive management and booking.

Delta County, Colo., Announces New Fishing Opportunities on Gold Medal Waters - New Hartland Diversion Project Allows Fishing from Paonia to Grand Junction -

Posted on April 17, 2012 by admin


Delta, Colo. (PRWEB) April 16, 2012

Attention fishermen and women: Delta County Tourism Cabinet announced today that it is now easier than ever to fish the Gold Medal waters of the Gunnison River. Work is complete on a passageway through Hartland Diversion Dam in the Gunnison River, which provides safe access around the dam for fish, boats and rafts. This means anglers can put in near Paonia and fish the river all the way to Grand Junction. That?s more than 68 miles of uninterrupted fishing!

?Delta County has always been an angler?s paradise, and this project means even more access to prime fishing on the Gunnison River,? says Delta County Tourism Cabinet?s Kelli Hepler. ?We are thrilled about the possibilities this opens for river recreationalists just in time for the summer season.?

The Gunnison River flows through the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area. Hepler says fishing is good year-round, however the best fishing is from June to October. The June Stonefly Hatch in the Gunnison Gorge attracts anglers from around the world, Hepler adds.

Those who want to see the river for themselves should attend the 13th Annual River Awareness Float Trip, May 19. In partnership with Gunnison Gorge Anglers-Trout Unlimited and the NFRIA/WSERC Conservation Center, the event includes a half-day float trip through the newly reconstructed Hartland Dam that ends at Confluence Park in the town of Delta. Participants will learn firsthand about the conservation and restoration work on the North Fork and Gunnison Rivers. After the float, participants will gather for lunch, live music, a river gear silent auction, and river-themed educational programs. Call 970-527-5307, ex. 206 for more information.

In addition to the Gunnison River, Delta County is also home to the Uncompaghre and North Fork Rivers, as well as 300 lakes on Grand Mesa, one of the world?s largest flat-topped mountains.

The Hotchkiss National Fish Hatchery is also a fun stop for kids of all ages. The hatchery is located about 20 miles east of the town of Delta near the town of Hotchkiss. The hatchery consists of a hatchery building with a small visitor center and tank room, residences, 32 outdoor concrete raceways, 24 nursery tanks, and six earthen ponds.

Berklee College of Music Utilizes Smartsheet for Online Project Management Course

Posted on March 27, 2012 by admin


Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) March 26, 2012

A successful career in music involves managing projects with many moving parts. Musicians, producers, promoters, songwriters and engineers need to understand how to best orchestrate the many tasks associated with songwriting, stage crews, recording sessions, cover art production, promotional campaigns and beyond. Learning the fundamentals of project management (PM) has become an increasingly important aspect of the collegiate music curriculum.

The online division of the world renowned Berklee College of Music, Berkleemusic.com, is debuting a new course Project Management for Musicians April 2. The course leverages Smartsheet?s leading spreadsheet-like online project management tool to introduce students to PM strategies and approaches.

For Berklee instructor Jonathan Feist, using Smartsheet as the underlying PM tool was a natural fit for teaching. ?As a teacher, I?ve found Smartsheet to be a good balance between power and ease of use. It includes tools for planning and execution, from Gantt charts to task-based discussion tools. Because the program is so cleanly laid out, it?s useful for illustrating key project management concepts, such as task dependencies.?

Students have access to Smartsheet throughout the course and use it to manage their own projects. According to Feist, because the students come from all over the world and have various levels of comfort with technology, it was important to use a tool that wasn?t intimidating.

?Because Smartsheet is cloud-based and cross platform, we are freed from a lot of the complexity inherent in many other, more traditional project management software tools,” he added. “There?s no installation required and Smartsheet offers great Help videos, so I can focus on teaching project management and not technical support.?

?Cloud-based tools are rapidly replacing traditional software in the office – and the classroom – because they deliver an improved experience for usability, collaboration and access,? said Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet. ?Having Berklee leverage Smartsheet for teaching PM is a testament to the evolving expectations we all have for the next generation of productivity and workflow tools.?

For students to be as successful as possible in the music industry and with various musical endeavors, according to Feist, learning project management plays an important role in improving the quality and reach of their work. ?Learning not only the theoretical tools of project management but also software tools such as Smartsheet helps musicians develop a clearer sense of the work they want to do. They?re able to break down abstract ideas into realistic components?along with realistic action plans to accomplish them. It shows them that major artistic projects are completely within their reach.?

About Smartsheet

Smartsheet.com, a leading Software as a Service (SaaS) company, offers businesses an intuitive online project management and collaboration tool. The ease of use of the familiar spreadsheet-like interface, coupled with file sharing and work automation features have made it a popular and highly functional business productivity app for teams.
