Self Immolation E.P Review

NOI YA
SELF IMMOLATION E.P
A REVIEW:


The man, the myth, the legend Noi Ya is back with a brand new E.P. The Self Immolation E.P is a 6 song release that will be coming out sometime this month. The Ottawa Sound was blessed with an early copy for review.

After listening through the E.P a couple of times I find that it was very interesting and the lyrics told some very beautiful stories. The best song on the E.P in my opinion is Glitter; I feel like it tells a beautiful story of love which is accompanied by very entrancing instrumentals. Glitter also has some of the best vocals that Noi Ya has ever done in studio and live. You can hear the passion that goes into the song and it makes the song even better.

While the genre of music that Noi makes is not my thing I feel like anyone who likes Dream Pop will enjoy the E.P.

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

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
