Oktocho Will Perform Transcestral Concert at the Outremont Theatre This Month – Broadway World

Posted: November 11, 2021 at 5:27 pm

Oktocho presents the concert Transcestral, on November 27, at 8 pm, at the Outremont Theatre.

An original creation of the Oktocho ensemble, the event brings together 15 artists, singers, dancers, and poets from different backgrounds: six indigenous and Sufi communities are represented as well as musicians from jazz, classical and contemporary music.

Transcestral weaves together the sacred ancestral traditions of Sufi trance music and indigenous music from Canada. It is a true hymn to life, highlighting our perpetual quest for harmony and communion with nature.

Known for their unique musical contributions, rich in poetic lyricism and inspired by their ancestral lineages, innu poet Josephine Bacon, Sufi singer Anouar Barrada, Mtis singer Moe Clark, Inuit throat singer Nina Segalowitz and powwow singers Buffalo Hat Singers (Norman Achneepineskum), along with Yoreme Indigenous dancer Sam Ojeda, and 10-year-old whilring dervish, Adam Barrada, create a striking blend of musical counterpoint under the artistic direction of Katia Makdissi-Warren.

"Although our music is not sacred, it is inspired by ceremonial music. The commonalities such as Earth, Healing, Tribute are at the heart of Transcestral," Makdissi-Warren and Clark explain.

The purpose of this music is to highlight the state of trance, more particularly, the state between trance and awakening. Within the Indigenous and Sufi cultures, there is a word for this state of ecstasy that lies between the state of consciousness and trance. Among the Sufis, it is called the Tarab. In the Anishinaabemowin language, it is called NWNSHN BUNN-GEE ET-WAWA NAEN DA-MN.

Starting November 15th, across all digital platforms, discover three tracks from the album Transcestral :

The full album will be released in January 2022.

To those who are perhaps more spiritually inclined, the figure 111111 (the date, month and specific hour) is a divine occurrence one that is being celebrated in unique fashion at the three-day-long One Festival in Mpumalanga, which features the theme of oneness and unity.

This festival is a trance festival, which is aimed at the more liberal and free thinkers who rage against the dying of the night to the sound of drum and bass and techno.

The festival is held in Kaapsehoop, which happens to be on the same line of longitude as the Great Pyramids of Giza and the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, and home of Adams Calendar an arrangement of stones that is believed to be one of the oldest man-made structures on Earth.

The festival boasts three dance floors, crystal caves, forests, pyramids of light and mountains.Photo: Supplied

This once-in-a-lifetime event was inspired by the unique moment at 11:11:11 on 11/11/11 when the time and the date are all one. We are all one in our humanity, and we aim to bring attention to what we have in common, rather than what separates us. Join us to become part of a unifying global event in a real and meaningful way.

Thats the description of this event on its Facebook page. The festival boasts three dance floors, crystal caves, forests, pyramids of light and mountains as some of the attractions you can indulge in.

Co-creator of the festival, Roman Sergey Potgieter, explains: One Festival has been happening for the last 10 years. The significance of this festival for us is basically the connection of one."

In numerology, if youve ever come across 1111 and it appeals to you or draws you in then you would definitely find this festival appealing. The connection of oneness and with nature and with all the beautiful things we see as divine and that brings us together.

Perhaps these people are on to something: we remain a divided nation, maybe what we all need is a touch of unity.

But what about partying on such hallowed grounds?

Sangoma and Celtic druid/wizard Stuart Snawrquitrafretis Turquoise Mathoka Davies, who has been working in and around sacred sites in Mpumalanga since 2016, says: We can see so many beautiful geological phenomena when we enter into places like Barberton, when we delve deeper and begin to unfold potentialities and stories of what could have happened in the Barberton crater. Whether it was a volcanic incident, whether it was a meteoric incident, whether this was a connection to our ancient ancestors in the stars this is something that is up to the individual to decide, and for the individual to experience through connecting with the sacred places on this land.

10 WandaVision Moments That Changed the MCU Forever – MovieWeb

Posted: at 5:27 pm

Marvel's critically acclaimed Disney+ miniseries features an all-star cast including Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. Even juicier than the performances were the shocking moments that shook the Marvel Cinematic Universe indefinitely. WandaVision may rely heavily on the sitcom format early on, but we quickly learn it's not all physical comedy and clever jokes.

Instead, the viral series can often turn dark and even tragic. MCU fans know the love story of Wanda (Olsen) and Vision (Bettany) and how it came to an end, so no one knew exactly what was going to happen in WandaVision. The series ended up producing some of the biggest twists in Marvel history. Let's dive into what happened inside and out of Wanda's world.

The commercials - one per episode - all include references to other events, things, and people within the MCU. Therefore, each cheeky cutaway offers a glimpse into either Marvel's past or what's to come. The first commercial features a toaster made by Tony Stark's company, which also built the bomb that killed Wanda's parents when she was 10.

The fake ad in episode 2 focuses on a watch from the company "Strcker," which references the Hydra operative who kidnapped both Wanda and Pietro. In episode 3, the product is a Hydra Soak, for "when you want to get away, but you don't want to go anywhere." This could be referencing Wanda's predicament at the time.

In episode 5, the product is a brand of paper towels called "Lagos," with the tagline, "For when you make a mess you didn't mean to." This alludes to Wanda's accident during the Avengers mission in Lagos, which happened during Captain America: Civil War. In episode 6, we see a desperate boy stranded on a desert island. At that time during the WandaVision storyline, Wanda is similarly desperate and would do anything to get Vision and Pietro back.

And lastly, in episode 7, there is a commercial for Nexus, "a unique antidepressant that works to anchor you back to your reality, or the reality of your choice." We later witness Wanda using the product herself to cope with everything.

There was always only one way this could all end: Wanda having to let go of the life she built in Westview. In the series finale, after learning that removing the Westview Hex means that Vision, Billy, and Tommy will all be destroyed, Wanda makes the difficult decision to remove the barrier. This means the end of her husband and two sons. The scene still has hope, however, that someday they might be reunited. The scene after the credits offers even more hope: Wanda hears her sons calling to her, likely setting up their return to the Marvel universe.

In that infamous fifth episode of WandaVision, S.W.O.R.D. reveals footage of Scarlet Witch, AKA Wanda, "dishonorably" stealing Vision's body from them - but she might've actually been saving him. As Jimmy pointed out, that would put her in direct violation of the Sokovia Accords. Equally, added Hayward, it went against Vision's own living will. As such, he remained determined to view her as nothing but a hostile to be taken out. However, there is much to suggest that Hayward might not have been telling the whole truth and that Wanda's actions may have actually been part of a rescue mission.

Though many had expected the reveal since Kathryn Hahn (The Shrink Next Door) was cast as simply a "nosy neighbor" named Agnes, it took seven episodes for the show to finally reveal its true villain. Wanda quickly went from being the all-powerful witch who was terrorizing all of Westview to becoming a victim herself, subject to the manipulation of another witch named Agatha Harkness. Suddenly, Wanda went from the creator of her own TV series to just another actor playing a role in one.

Hayward from S.W.O.R.D. is also responsible for urging Monica Rambeau (played by Teyonah Parris, whose career took off with Mad Men) to investigate the mysterious energy field surrounding the town of Westview, which was under the control of Wanda. Having acquired several traces of Wanda's magic to resurrect Vision, Hayward intended to have Wanda and her family killed to cover up the Westview Anomaly. However, his plans were foiled by Jimmy Woo (Randall Park from Fresh Off the Boat) and Darcy Lewis (Dennings).

Once Wanda kicks Monica out of Westview, she becomes determined to help Wanda. In episode 6, while talking to Darcy and Jimmy, Monica admits she understands Wanda because she knows how she feels. At this moment, Monica's eyes reveal that she's broken over her mother's death. She must be strong because there is a greater purpose right now.

Monica learns, however, that returning to Westview could have dire consequences because it's affecting her cells on a molecular level. In the WandaVision series finale, she still takes that risk. Luckily, it turns her into a superhero, but going back to Westview could have killed her.

The tension rises when we learn of Hayward's main project, which revolved around rebuilding Vision as a weapon. White Vision, as it came to be known, is a rebuilt "synthezoid" of the same name, whose body was reactivated by S.W.O.R.D. Having been given his mission to destroy Wanda and her recreated Vision, White Vision was challenged on his own identity, and after acquiring Vision's memories, declared himself to be the true Vision, before departing. In episode 8, we're treated to a glimpse of the all-white Vision in a thrilling mid-credits sequence, and the stakes escalate from there.

WandaVision episode 4 effectively introduced the Sentient Weapon Observation and Response Division, a SHIELD-analogue agency whose very existence is a closely guarded secret. Their role is, traditionally, to protect the Earth from extraterrestrial threats.

Tyler Hayward (played by Josh Stamberg, memorable in The Affair) is the high-ranking S.W.O.R.D. operative who we quickly meet upon learning of the organization. He was promoted to director after the death of Maria Rambeau (played by Lashana Lynch, so good as the new 007 in No Time to Die), whose daughter Monica will be discussed later in this article. In his tenure, Hayward focused S.W.O.R.D.'s efforts from their extraterrestrial operations onto robotics, nanotechnologies, and artificial intelligence.

Another big reveal also comes in episode 5 when Pietro Maximoff - from a completely different film franchise - enters the picture. As Dr. Darcy Lewis (played by Kat Dennings from 2 Broke Girls) notes, Pietro has been recast. Quicksilver is no longer being played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Avengers: Age of Ultron). Instead, it's Evan Peters (Emmy-winner for Mare of Easttown) who shows up at Wanda's doorstep in the episode's closing moments. Quicksilver is walking back into his sister's life, years after his death, and at the same time, the X-Men are finally entering the MCU.

Earlier in that fifth episode, however, Vision had to act quickly in his office setting when Norm inadvertently exposed himself to the dark reality. As Norm begins to read that fishy email out loud, the entire office chimes in without warning, reading along with him as he goes through the secret communication from S.W.O.R.D. that references the "Maximoff Anomaly." Vision presses his fingers against the computer, zapping away the email, before turning to Norm to do the same.

Awakened from his sitcom trance, the man who's actually named Abilash Tandon frantically begs for help. Abilash has no idea how long he's been under Wanda's control and quickly looks for his phone to contact his sister. Vision tries to calm him down, but Abilash starts to yell about someone being inside his head. Vision presses his fingers back against Abilash's temples, reverting him into the clueless Norm. Vision's stakes - and suspicions - were certainly raised in this dramatic scene, to say the least!

It was during the show's landmark fifth episode when Vision's suspicions about Wanda and their picturesque life together really grew. And it all finally comes to a head when he returns to his office for the first time since the premiere episode. Outside of Wanda's view, he figures out the mystery at last. With his employer having upgraded its technology, Vision helps his friendly coworker "Norm" (played by Asif Ali) test out the internet on his computer. After dialing it up, they find a very revealing email waiting for them... And at the end of that episode, Vision has a climactic confrontation with Wanda, which ultimately threatens Wanda's own "visions" of the future.

Akhanda title song is a high-octane anthem – The Indian Express

Posted: at 1:48 pm

Music composer S Thaman unveiled the title song of Akhanda on Monday. THE MIGHTY ROAR FROM #AKHANDA IS HERE. #AkhandaTitleSong Will Take U to the Trance of the film. #NBK gaaru & #BoyapatiSreenu gaaru made the film #Akhanda very very big. Here is #AkhandaTitleSong #AkhandaMusicalRoar Earphones MUST, he wrote on social media.

The song is crooned by Shankar Mahadevan, Siddharth Mahadevan and Shivam Mahadevan. The Thaman composition boasts of ethnic and western beats, and it leaves an impression of listening to a high-octane anthem rather than just a title song. The music video also provides a glimpse of Nandamuri Balakrishnas action avatar.

Bankrolled by Miryala Ravinder Reddy of Dwaraka Creations, Akhanda marks the third collaboration of actor Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Boyapati Sreenu after blockbusters Simha and Legend. The movie also stars Pragya Jaiswal and Srikanth.

On the work front, Balakrishna also has a yet-to-be-titled film with director Gopichand Malineni in the pipeline.

The 61-year-old actor recently made his OTT debut as a host of the talk show Unstoppable with NBK. While Mohan Babu, Vishnu Manchu, and Lakshmi Manchu were the guests in its first episode, the second episode will have Nani as the special guest.

From hospitality manager to psytrance musician, the wonderful story of Novlik: – The UBJ

Posted: at 1:48 pm

Till a few years back, NovlikNisudanwas just another brick in the wall. After completing his education, he was working as aFrontOfficeManager at ITC Hotels. However, Novlik was one who had harboured a deep interest in music since the young age of 10.It was a fate-definingtrip to Manchester, which brought his passions into focus and thus began his journey as an independent DJ and music producer.

So why did Novlik choose psychedelic trance in particular? To understand the reasoning, we have to take a deeper look intoNovlikspersonal experiences growing up. Although he didnt let himself realise it, Novlik had always had an interest in music and was associated with it since he was 10 years of age. So, he had already been professionally trained in Hindustani classical music which is considered to be one of the basic forms of music theory from which relations to all other genres of music can be drawn. After coming back from Manchester, love for music freshly raring, Novlik was more or less prepared for this change, at least technically.

Since taking that first step towards a new identity, Novlik is considered one of the rising independent DJs of the world. He has also hosted and performed at several events both in and outside the city of Hyderabad. His first album was launched in 2017 and helped establish him as a professional music composer as well. The album had quite a good reception and Novlik found himself with a fan base that always supported and admired him and his talent. It was not long before Novlik took his position as one of the leading Psychedelic Trance musicians in the Indian music industry considering there are not many names that have been able to properly capitalise into their chosen niche.

Presently Novlik is working for Prism,Hyderabad, also known as Prism Club and Kitchen, which is one of the citys favourite performance and event venues. He began his term there only on the 29th of June this year but has been associated which PrismHyderabad in his capacities as an independent musician before as well. Apart from the above, Novlik also holds the position of Label DJ and marketing strategist at Rage Cage Productions, a role he joined in October 2018. Novlik is also self-employed as a DJ commodities trader.

As of now, Novlik has almost 19K followers on Instagram and many more regulars who swear by his music. To join the psychedelic trance community, follow Novlik on his social media profiles linked below:

Clubhouse Answer Their Own Question ‘Are We Going Too Slow?’ – American Songwriter

Posted: at 1:48 pm

Written mostly in 2020,Are We Going Too Slow was a collective effort for indie-pop rockers Clubhouse. For the Ohio-bred band, made up of Max Reichert, guitarist Ari Blumer, bassist Michael Berthold, drummer Zakand keyboardist Forrest Taylor, holing themselves up in a mountain retreat in Highland Park was a welcome reprieve from the external noise, a pandemic, and the bands own personal challenges over the past few years.

In 2018, Reichert was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer, and was cancer-free for nearly a year and a half, before it returned to his lungs.Throughout his treatments, including ongoing chemotherapy, which started in December of 2020, the singer continued working with the band on their EP Are We Going Too Slow?

We technically wrote the whole EP while I was in chemotherapy, which also ties into the whole motif for the EP of just us going after what we want to go after, shares Reichert. Despite the roadblocks and whatever might be happening in your life, you can still roll with the punches and go after what you want. This hasnt slowed us down yet.

Making the EP also forced the band to take a step back and look at how they approached their music, from a writing standpoint. We were at a little bit of a crossroads with our careers and our lives, shares Reichert. Were all in our early 20s deciding what we wanted to do with their lives. Do we want to chase music, or do we want to get into full-time jobs? It was a tough time for us.

Relocating, and retreating, as a unit was the perfect formula for fleshing out the inner workings of the EP.It was our first time really setting aside a full month to just work on music every day, day in day out, and that was how a lot of the EP came together, says Reichert. It was also our first time ever putting together a project, so it was a learning experience for all of us.

Throughout Are We Going Too Slow? Clubhouse produces several storylines, all rotating around their assessment of life, loss, and finding pushing past darker moments, from the dance-y pop of Flipside and Home Videos and the hip-hop trance of Weekend. Uplifting through the heavier pulses of No Way!, Heartbroke offers a more dreamy break. You Were Never Mine and the title track pack a slowed pace circling around the more introspective question, and the ultimate theme of the album that kept resurfacing for the band.

That question, Are we going too slow? is a question we find ourselves asking ourselves a lot, says Blumer. Are we releasing music quick enough? Are we as successful as we want to be at this stage in our lives? Are we wasting our time? We are we just found ourselves asking these questions all the time as we navigated our 20s.

Blumer adds that the most common theme throughout the EP is the bands answer to that burning question. Its our answer to the question in terms of us being able to take life a little lightly, not taking it too seriously, not being afraid to go after what we want to go after, he says. And that translates through all the songs, lyrically and sonically.

After the first month of continuous late nights and early mornings, the band pulled together something cohesive, says Berthold, answering their own questions and working through whatever was ahead.

Its something that sort of felt close to home and what was going on, not only personally with us but in a broader sense with COVID, says Berthold. It just felt like things were coming together.

In Clubhouse, most songs are written collaboratively, then pieced together musicallyor vice versa. Were all multi-instrumentalists, so we dont really like to give ourselves hard roles, but we ultimately all have hard roles, says Reichert.When we play live,I sing and play guitars and drums, but in terms of writing, its a very open democracy. If Zak wants to come up with a guitar riff, he could. It doesnt matter. The roles switch and are very fluid once were in the studio together.

Reichert adds, It just allows us to kind of go with our gut, and it frees up our expression a bit where we can just follow the song rather than the other way around.

Thinking about one moment on the title track, during the bridge where the song slows, and theres a crescendo build is something the band is excited to perform live, with an upcoming North American tour supporting The Wombats. Were going to transform that into something even bigger and crazier than it is on the recorded version, says Reichert.

For now, Clubhouse wants to bask in the triumph of this musical effort together.

We want people to leave after listening with the feeling that they can go after whatever it is they want to go after and that life is really short, says Reichert. Dont doubt yourself, just focus on whats important in life and roll with the punches.

The Real Disaster Behind Led Zeppelin’s ‘When the Levee Breaks’ – Ultimate Classic Rock

Posted: at 1:48 pm

Led Zeppelin never shied away from revealing their roots.

Theydeliberately and frequently pulled from their personal record collections, taking inspiration fromnumerous early rock pioneers and blues legends, while reworking songs from decades before. "There are so many classics from way back which we can give a little of ourselves to take them through the years," Robert PlanttoldMelody Makerin 1975.

"When the Levee Breaks" from Led Zeppelin IV found the band returning to their passion for Delta blues. The track was originally written in 1929 and recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie, the latter of whom was a leading female blues figure who inspired the likes of Big Mama Thornton, Bonnie Raitt and Mazzy Starr.

"When the Levee Breaks" reflected on the aftermath of the then-recent Great Mississippi Flood, a catastrophe that displaced thousands of people and killed hundreds. Heavy rainfall started in the summer of 1926, swiftly swelling the river to capacity and eventually causing levees to break in more than 100 places over the following year. At the time, Memphis Minnie was living with her family near Walls, Miss., a town on the Tennessee border not far from the banks of the river.

McCoy and Minnie's flood-inspired song joined dozens of others likeCharley Pattons "High Water Everywhere," Bessie Smiths "Backwater Blues" and John Lee Hookers "Tupelo." But "When the Levee Breaks" stood out to Plant, whobroughtthe songto the Led Zeppelin IV sessions.

They took a page from Led Zeppelin III's complete reimagining of "Gallows Pole," which was based on Lead Belly's "The Gallis Pole." But this time, Led Zeppelin did something far more atmospheric.

"The whole idea was to make[it] into a trance," Jimmy Page said for the 2012 bookLight & Shade: Conversations With Jimmy Page."If you notice, something new is added to every verse. Check it out the phasing of the voice changes, lots of backward stuff is added and, at the end, everything starts moving around except the vocal, which stays stationary."

Plant added to the original lyrics, while the band decelerated to create more ambiance. "If you slow things down, it makes everything sound so much thicker," Page said. "The only problem is, you have to be very tight about your playing, because it magnifies any inconsistencies. It doesn't work the same way that it does when you speed something up. That makes everything sound tighter than it is. We used the same technique on 'No Quarter.'"

John Bonham's drum performance elevated the track to another level, but it took some work. Plant, Page and multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones ended up stepping away for a drink, while engineer Andy Johns stayed behind to continue tinkering with Bonham's drums.

"He still complained that he wasn't getting the sound he wanted. I finally had an idea," Johns said in 2010's Led Zeppelin: The 'Tight But Loose' Files. "We got his drums and put him in the hallway, and then put two MI 60 mikes from the staircase and pointed them towards the kit. His kit was very well balanced internally; each drum's volume was consistent with the others."

Johns, who was fresh off working on Sticky Fingers, ran Bonham's output through two channels on the Rolling Stones' mobile studio then compressed them.

"I remember sitting there thinking it sounded utterly amazing," Johns added, "so I ran out of the truck and said 'Bonzo, you got to come in and hear this!' He shouted 'Whoa, that's it. That's what I've been hearing!'"

Bonham's introductory drum beat has since been widely sampled by artists from the Beastie Boys toEminem to Dr. Dre. McCoy and Minnie's original, a surprisingly jaunty tune given the subject matter, also served as the basis for a 2006 update by Bob Dylan that borrowed a few lines of lyrics and the 12-bar structure.

Still, Led Zeppelin cemented the song in rock history with its saturatedsound. "That's one thing about blues," Plant told the Guardian in 2014. "You can do more or less anything, around a very vague shell, and the more of it you do, the better you get until at the end, theres very few boundaries to it at all."

Counting down every canonical Led Zeppelin album, from worst (relatively speaking, of course) to best.
