Oktober Zero Releases New Album 'The Art of Raw' November 8th on Raptivism Records

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 25, 2005

NYC lyricist Oktober Zero returns Nov. 8th with a profound lyrical barrage -- "The Art of Raw". Hailing from the birthplace of hip-hop, the South Bronx, Oktober Zero is known for releases such as "Less Than Zero" and "Projekt:Building". Originally put on by underground legend Bobbito Garcia aka DJ Cucumber Slice, Oktober Zero was briefly part of the group "2 for 5" with Ace Lover. His single "Reset The Game" with J-Live is an underground classic, and "The Art of Raw" is filled with similar jewels.

A mystical theme runs through "The Art of Raw", with Oktober featured on the cover with images traditionally associated with Santeria, theAfro-Christian syncretic religion. Oktober's style is syncretic too; from street tales like "Twelve Cops Shot" to spiritual tales like "Muero Otro Dia (Die Another Day)" to "Black Magic Chick", the multi-layered flavors of the Bronx is present all at once through the whole album.

Produced exclusively by the UK's Q-Tones, "The Art of Raw" is also an example of how raw hip-hop is melding with the sophisticated technologies of tomorrow. Q-Tones and Oktober recorded the whole album without ever meeting each other via use of the internet.

Philosophical b-boys and girls, fans of boom bap, and lyrical heads will all appreciate the latest offering from the Bronx's youngest son.

5th Projekt Releases Debut Album CiRCADiAN

(PRWEB) August 6, 2006

Toronto?s 5th Projekt is releasing its debut full length album CiRCADiAN with a CD Release Party at the Horseshoe on August 29, 2006. 5th Projekt received positive recognition from three previous EP?s including gaining the attention of Los Angeles artist/producer Ken Andrews (Failure, A Perfect Circle, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club) who mixed CiRCADiAN.

5th Projekt?s debut album, which will be released on its own label, Organik Rekords, was recorded at Toronto's Chemical Sound with James Heidebrecht (Daniel Lanois, Sarah Slean, Sloan). CiRCADiAN takes on the themes of balance and discovery. "In A Coma," sets the pace for the dreamlike lyrical exploration and the atmospheric compositions that characterize the album. In "One to Throw Away," the central theme of disdain for the blatant disregard of ecosystems, both within ourselves and in the world around us, comes to light while the music paints a backdrop of darkness. As the multi-layered "Resistance" tells us "they appear as quickly as they escape these dreams and revelations." And so do the images conjured up by the songs, elusive as d?j? vu. If any of it rings true or strikes a chord in the psyche of any one listener, then CiRCADiAN's cycle is complete.

5th Projekt features Tara Rice (voice, guitar, words and programming), Sk?dt D. McNalty (guitar, voice, words and programming) and Peter Broadley (bass). The group?s previous EPs, which 5th Projekt refers to as demos, resulted in being included as a Showcase feature in Canadian Musician Magazine, nominated for Best Alternative Artist at the Toronto Independent Music Awards and Montreal's CJLO FM ranked their DEMOn001 in the top ten EPs of 2004. The song "Skepticosm" found its way, while still in demo mode, onto the Anti-Hit List, a very influential "Alternative Top 10" compiled by music writer John Sakamoto. 5th Projekt was also featured on CBC Radio DJ Sook-Yin Lee's Definitely Not the Opera as Independent Artist of the Week.

James T Noble Releases "Social Media Marketing For Events" Training

London, UK (PRWEB) September 01, 2011

London-based small business marketing expert James Noble (http://www.JamesTNoble.com) today announced the release of ?Social Media Marketing For Events,? a new multimedia training program showing business-owners how to use the power of Social Media to promote their online and offline events.

Developed in conjunction with online event expert Lou D?Alo, the training demonstrates step-by-step how to harness the potential of Social Media to increase registrations for - as well as engagement during - any online or offline event.

?Social Media Marketing For Events? is designed for companies seeking to promote any type of event, online or offline. This includes live conferences and seminars, online teleseminars and webinars, as well as online or offline meet-ups and many more.

?It?s a common mis-conception that event marketing is confined to those promoting traditional conferences - the kind typically held in hotel ballrooms,? explained Mr Noble. ?But in fact tele-conferences, online web-conferences and online or offline meet-ups can all be marketed using tried and tested event marketing principles.?

?This new training program combines these tried and tested principles with the new marketing opportunities created by Social Media,? he added.

?Social Media Marketing for Events? is suitable for all small businesses, irrespective of whether or not they currently use Social Media.

?Most people think that in order to use Social Media to promote your business, you have to be active on all of the social sites all of the time? explains James. ?But that?s simply not the case. When I speak to my clients, the overwhelming reason for not using Social Media is a reluctance to spend hours each day checking and responding to messages. But this isn?t necessary in order to use Social Media marketing effectively.?

?I specialize in helping small businesses get bigger through effective, leveraged marketing. The strategies we cover in the training allow you to use Social Media to promote your events, even if you?ve never used Social Media yourself.?

Availability

Vocalist Andrea Fultz Releases "The German Projekt," A New CD of German Songs from the '20s and '30s

Richmond, CA (PRWEB) May 7, 2009

On her stunning new CD "The German Projekt," which features jazz-imbued arrangements of classic songs by Brecht-Weill and Friedrich Hollaender and which is being released on May 12, singer Andrea Fultz sounds as if she'd been born to interpret this rich, complex body of music.

But in fact the album concept came to fruition a mere three or four years ago, while she was living and studying in San Francisco and performing with musical colleagues who were interested in exploring Kurt Weill's songs with her. "The material was really completely new to me," says the Munich-born Fultz, 34, who has worked with a variety of bands ranging from American Songbook to electronica to bossa nova. "I knew the melodies, but not all the words. The dark Weill stuff was very exciting."

Joined by violinist Dina Maccabee, accordionist Rob Reich, percussionist Micha Patri, bassist Eugene Warren, and pianist Adam Shulman, whose credits include work with Stefon Harris, Paula West, and Bobby Hutcherson, Fultz began to delve into the songs and arrangements that evolved into "The German Projekt." She and her band, augmented by a three-man horn section, will appear at a CD release event at Yoshi's in Oakland on Monday, May 18.

"The music has to support the lyrics and follow the stories of the songs," says Rob Reich, in speaking of the challenges of arranging "The German Projekt." "And these are often heavy, dramatic stories, full of changes in tempo and harmony, and full of intense emotions. We were fortunate to be working with some very talented jazz musicians. We wanted them to have some room for interpretation and improvisation, so it was important to strike a balance between staying true to the original musical conception and allowing the songs to breathe and grow."

Although several Weill compositions, such as "Mack the Knife" (aka "Moritat"), "My Ship," and "September Song," have become jazz standards, most of his oeuvre remains in the cabaret or art song realm. "Alabama Song," which opens "The German Projekt" and is sung in English, was previously recorded by the Doors and David Bowie (whom Fultz calls "my absolute hero!"); Marianne Faithfull and Dee Dee Bridgewater have released more extensive Weill collections.

Sonny Rollins, who counts Friedrich Hollaender among his favorite composers, has recorded "Falling in Love Again" ("Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss auf Liebe eingestellt"), the theme from "The Blue Angel," and frequently performs the song in concert. (Early in his career, Rollins was fond of Hollaender's "This Is the Moment," and was playing it the night that Miles Davis first hired him.)

"It is a big thing for me to represent German culture in America," says Fultz, the daughter of a German mother and American father. "I really think this music is brilliant. Brecht and Weill and Hollaender are so timeless."

In addition to "Alabama Song," the CD contains six other Brecht-Weill compositions: "Bilbao Song," "Denn wie man sich bettet so liegt man," "Barbara Song," "Seer?uber Jenny," "Surabaya Johnny," and "M?ckie Messer" ("Mack the Knife"). Hollaender is represented by two songs from The Blue Angel ("Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss auf Liebe eingestellt," "Kinder, heut Abend da such ich mir was aus"), "Johnny," and the ballad "Wenn ich mir was w?nschen d?rfte." Fultz sings Hanns Eisler and Bertolt Brecht's "Song of a German Mother" with Eric Bentley's English lyrics.

Andrea Fultz is looking to take the "German Projekt" music to clubs and festivals in the U.S. and abroad. "This music is about the context, it's not about singing flawlessly or bebopping," she says. "It's so different for me to sing in German. It's given me more freedom than any other music before."
