EP. 129 - LISA CONWAY

Co-presented by the Guelph Jazz Festival, this week's episode features a deep discussion with Toronto drummer Nick Fraser.  Nick is a pensive, dedicated musician, who talks at great length about what got him into jazz, his educators, his collaborators, and the journey to "early retirement".  We even stew a little on our mutual distaste for Randy's Vinyl Pap.  Dig in!

EP. 130 - NICK FRASER

It's a new month of making noise and I'm trying to keep up with the daily challenges of Noisevember.  This one comes from the prompt "crystal"

Kate NV, Ango, Passarani, L CON - Familiar Danger

I wrote 'Prudence' shortly after an artist had a photographer take my photograph. She had a photo of me blown up onto a 48/36 inch canvas, and then she painted on top of it. At first, she wouldn’t show me this painting and when I saw it the first time, I was like, "Oh, my skin colour is a little darker." She put a hat on me to cover my bald head, and there were glasses on my face and a cigarette in my mouth--totally not how I was when the photo was taken. I thought to myself: that’s her perception, it’s what she sees in her artistic mind.
The second time I saw the painting I noticed my skin was lighter and I was still wearing the hat, but the glasses and the cigarette in my mouth were gone.
It was very bizarre to watch someone else do this to my face, my image. Kind of like someone scribbling over pictures in a yearbook.

I sat at the piano and started blurting out how I felt, and this song came from these experiences.

Now, the song has taken a lyrical meaning of its own that I believe relates to everyone. We all wear these ‘masks,' showing our best selves first. 
Some people get us and some don’t and some create their own version of who or what they think you are.
I think this song is an inspirational piece reminding to reveal your true self at all times--no matter which angle you may shine.

This version is an extended version co-produce and featuring L CON (Lisa Conway).

Written by Mani Khaira
Produced by Twin Rains (Jay Merrow & Christine Stoesser), co produced by  Mani Khaira, co produced by Lisa Conway.

Prudence (feat. LCON)

This track is written and recorded in Red Bull studios in Berlin by three RBMA alumni: LCON, Canada, Millie Lovelock aka Repulsive woman, New Zeland and Sasha Vinogradova, Russia.
