AWENDAMUSIC
I build custom guitar effect pedals. I'm also into music production. Having worked in the music/theater industry for a number of years, I have an understanding of the business and the needs of the artist.
Some of the folks I've worked with are: Michelle Wright, Three Dog Night, Uriah Heep, Van Halen, The Mama's and Papa's with John Phillips and Scott McKenzie, Brenda Lee, B.J. Thomas, Great Big Sea, Sloan, Skydiggers, 54-40, Grapes Of Wrath, Lava Hay, Carroll Baker, The Band with Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, B.T.O/Randy Bachman, Doug and The Slugs, Mick Taylor, Honeymoon Suite, Kim Mitchell, Beatlemania, Musical theater with Mary Wilson and Joyce Dewitt, Tommy Hunter, Maestro Fresh Wes plus many other film and tv personalities.
My duties included but not limited to; stage management, sound technician, lighting technician, technical director, production manager, opening act musician, or one of many hats needed when involved in the "biz" as they say.
Some of my claims to fame are, work in a feature film "This Is My Life" with Dan Ackroyd and Julie Kavner. My lighting skills were included in one of the scenes in the "venue". The music video "Welcome To My Life" with The Michael Patrick Band. Our video was in medium to full rotation in the late 80's on Canada's music station Much Music. Voice over in the theater play "It Had To Be You" with Eddie Mekka (Carmine from Laverne and Shirley) I was the voice of the unseen producer in the booth. Plus a few radio and tv appearances promoting shows...
My friend Randy and Fred Turner in the studio recording material for the Vinyl record being released in Sept. 2010. It's called Bachman and Turner. Randy's also going viral with his radio show Vinyl Tap. Soon to be broadcast in Europe, Russia and the U.K. You didn't hear it from me....Oops!. Tune into Randy's Vinyl Tap on CBC radio online at www.cbc.ca on Saturday evenings. Note: can be heard in different times zones across the country. If you miss the Ontario broadcast you can tune into radio cbc in Alberta at 9:00 pm Ontario time, etc.
here's a link to Randy's Vinyl Tap on CBC radio for mor info., http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/randy_bachmans_vinyl_tap

..Music
Classic Rock, New Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Motown, Jazz, Classical, Indie Rock, Alternative Rock, Fusion, Roots Blues, Contemporary Blues, Country, New Country and anything that resonates with musical notes. I'm amazed at the talent on myspace and in the music industry in general. The craft of songwriting and the creative process is so amazing in all genres. I'm finally starting to understand the Rap movement and I really like Eminem's material, especially the 8 Mile soundtrack. Snoop Dogg is amazing. too. To hear is life experiences played back in his songs is very interesting. I also have great respect for Usher, and Jay-Z. My first exposure to Rap was back in '92 when I signed on to mix a show for Maestro Fresh Wes. It was like discovering a new country and language. I was scared shitless, however the crew and his manager were very cool and reassured me that I was doing the right thing. Although when they would say, "Turn it up" to the audience I thought it was directed towards me and they were pissed because it may have been not loud enough, needless to say it was already turned up to 12 and I had a small cow trying to convey that if I turned it up anymore it would start to distort, clip and possibly blow out the mains. I got it finally and ended up having a great show. Can't thank Maestro Fresh Wes, Mikey and his crew enough for a great first time experience. Peace, CraigMovies
