JUNO WEEK UPDATE!

JUNO WEEK UPDATE


This week is Juno week. The Juno’s are the Canadian version of the Grammy’s and Brit Awards. They celebrate the diverse talent that is in the Canadian music industry. Hex Entertainment joined The Ottawa Sound on an adventure through Algonquin College to ask some people their opinions on the Juno Awards!

1.       What Canadian artist do you think had/has the most influence on the global music industry
a.       The most common answers for this question for this question were Justin Bieber and Drake with The Weeknd thrown in once or twice. The bassist from local band BATAVIA (Hakan who is from Istanbul, Turkey) said Devin Townsend.
2.       What Canadian artist do you think has the most influence INSIDE Canada?
a.       A lot of people thought hard about this but couldn’t think of any artists. Hakan said Devin Townsend for this one as well.
3.       Who is your pick for Fan Choice?
a.       A lot of people thought hard about their choices for this and just gave out the usual Justin Bieber and Drake. Some people just said they had no idea.
4.       Did you watch the 2016 Juno Awards?
a.       Most people said no. There were one or two people who said yes.
5.       Will you be watching the 2017 Juno Awards, which are being held in Ottawa this year?
a.       The majority of people said they would not be watching the Juno’s this year because they don’t care about award shows. Some people asked if there would be a live stream on Facebook or YouTube. The answer to that is; Possibly.


The Juno Awards are being held in Ottawa this year and are on at 6:00pm Sunday, April 2nd. You should watch and check out the winners of some of the awards. Who knows, maybe your favourite artist will win in their category. A YouTube video will be posted by Saturday on The Ottawa Sound and Hex Entertainment YT channels.

History Of Recorded Sound Part 1: The Phonautograph and Phonograph

Image
If you follow our YouTube channel, then you are aware we are working on a new series where every week we will discuss a small section of the history of music and audio recording. I decided that once a week I will make a written version of the YouTube video so that the people who don't watch the channel, can still get the information. However, the written version will have a bit more information in it as it doesn't require as much work to produce and I'm more comfortable making written content than a video. THE BEGINNING:  The history of audio recording is divided into eras; the first of which is called The Analogue Era (AE for short). The AE focuses on the time from 1854 to about 1930. Now when most people think of the beginning of audio recording, they are more than likely under the assumption that Thomas Edison was the first person to figure out and produce a way to record sound, but this is not true. The first person to actually find a way to record sound wa...

2018 In Review

Hey readers, It has been a long time since I posted on here. I've been so busy the last few months that the Blogger page took a back seat. We here at The Ottawa Sound have been working on a bunch of new media for you but due to our busy schedules and lack of funds we have had to hold off on them. But we would like to present our faithful readers with a special 2018 In Review article. This year has been the biggest year of my life when it comes to music and journalism. I have had the opportunity to interview many bands, made new friends, made new music and started a record label. The local scene has been very supportive of The Ottawa Sound and we appreciate each and every one of you that has been to a show, read an article or watched a video. Our main goal moving forward is to post at least one article weekly. That doesn't seem like much but when you're working, in 3 bands, working on a record label, writing blog posts, running 2 YouTube channels and working on a solo ...

History of Recorded Sound Part 3: Berliner and Montreal

This week for history Monday we will be talking more about Victor talking machine company and Montreal’s role in the beginning of the recording industry. If you watched the previous episode of history Monday you know that Emilee Berliner and Eldredge Johnson founded the united states gramophone company in the late 1890’s and after dealing with many lawsuits and companies stealing his designs, Berliner decided to transfer all of his patent's to Johnson. Johnson rebranded the company as Victor talking machine company. Before the mid-1920’s recording was done in a purely acoustical way. The sounds were played into a horn and then the vibrations would make a diaphragm that was held in place vibrate and then the vibrations would make the stylus move; the stylus would engrave the waveforms into the disc or cylinder and voila you had your recording. However, you could not play back the recording you had because they were made on a soft wax, and if you played it back you woul...
