R.I.P. Paul Dutton

Deeply saddened to hear that Paul Dutton has died. He was a dear friend and one of my most valued on-stage collaborators. It is a tremendous loss to the arts in Canada and internationally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Dutton h ttps://actuellecd.com/en/artiste/dutton_pa https://grainmagazine.ca/news/interview-with-paul-dutton https://youtu.be/bnIWW1tY6v4?si=xcakGDvaJ_q1Aa2Q https://youtu.be/d7YS9IKhZGo?si=daLNzzrZIe_mXeVM https://youtu.be/RedWQBU_Is8?si=xItLRLfLTlTYq2z2 https://youtu.be/th-pbiwcipI?si=EzOodAjhytdOPvGu - W.A.Davison

Mzylkypop

Despite the challenging band name and album title, this is an excellent album with a retro 70s psychfolk meets filmscore vibe and, dare I say, NWW-ish production touches sprinkled throughout. Masterfully crafted by Michael Somerset Ward with a host of highly skilled musicians and featuring the alluring and captivating voice of Sylwia Anna Drwal. Highly recommended! https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/album/kiedy-wilki-zawyja-118cd-lp-2021 - W.A.Davison

W. David Oliphant

The most recent video from W. David Oliphant ( Maybe Mental , Life Garden , Bastard Kings Of Samedhi , etc.) includes some samples from my "500" album/sample collection! Have a look below: I first heard David's Maybe Mental project sometime in the early 90s (a decade after it had been released) and became an instant fan. However, I knew almost nothing about him and did not follow any of his other projects (although, I was aware of Life Garden). Not surprisingly, Mr. Oliphant has produced a large body of interesting work over the last four decades and a bit. I just didn't know about it. Fortunately, that error has been corrected! David and I have been getting to know each other via email recently and, thanks to his website and Bandcamp, I've been able to explore many of his art and music activities past and present! Great work! I highly recommend visiting https://wdavidoliphant.wixsite.com/movescreamsing/store and digging in deep! - W.A.Davison
