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

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

Why Don't Big Touring Acts Come To Ottawa?

If you live in Ottawa you are no doubt used to having your favourite acts skip our beautiful city on their tours, and you may have asked yourself, why? Why won't they come and play here? There isn't any single correct answer to that question. Part of it has to do with location; it also has to do with our lack of large venues, and believe it or not, we're viewed as a small market. The reason location plays a factor in our little problem is this, we're only four hours away from Toronto and two hours away from Montreal. Many acts don't want to spend the extra money on a venue in Ottawa if people can just use a car, train or plane to get to Montreal or Toronto in a half decent amount of time. Ottawa is also lacking in one very important thing when it comes to music: venues. For a band like Metallica, ACDC, or a giant act like Beyonce or Katy Perry to come to a town, they need to have a venue big enough to hold a few hundred to a few thousand people. Could you picture AC
