TEM Ep.29: A Story

Posted on 2018-04-19 by Aaron Springer Posted in Electric Metropolis

I am AD Springer, your musical tour guide, and I want to tell you a story; a story of a city so beautiful and wide. Where dreams are remembered and trust can be found. You can travel through the city and find computer love while killing time while looking up for the northern lights. A place where your heart can return to bounds from the great void and power up amidst the lights and sound of a city full of such wonderful sounds. It is here you can be intimate as the city is bathed in sunshine while viewing the test flights off of bliss port. Indeed, this is a city where you can know the lifebeat of a lilium and know that this is where you can find a field from which you wish to rise from as spiders dance their deadly dance. For all the many-fold wonders of the city, you can always find a way to stay human. This is The Electric Metropolis, come by for a visit while you can!

The Lunchbox Interview: Remy MacFarlane (Freddy Bean Roasters)

Posted on 2018-04-13 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

A fine cup of coffee is a moment of serenity, a work of art, a real craft.

My guest today is Remy MacFarlane, here to talk about a new adventure into the world of specialty coffee roasting. Freddy Bean Roasters is growing from an idea and a hobby into a regular staple of the Cultural Market every Saturday. Remy and I chat about the involved process of infusing selected coffee beans with the smoky flavour of a bourbon-soaked oak barrel, and his own journey infusing his life with coffee.

The Lunchbox Interview: Bruce Gray (Origins)

Posted on 2018-04-12 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

Art seems often to be the act of combining things together to create something with new meaning, making reflections both of the material and the viewer, of transforming things that everyone knows into something no one ever knew before..

My guest today is Bruce Gray, an artist who has explored the use of wood, stone, glass and fossils to create works of long-lasting sculpture resembling furniture. He joined me to talk about his efforts to combine these elements together to make his creations, from a rock that becomes the brain of a sculpture to an enormous burl table where no one is at the head.

Bruce Gray’s exhibit, Origins, joins Barbara Safran de Niverville’s Primordial Encounter at the UNB Art Centre. The exhibit opens on Friday, April 13 at 5pm and is on display until May 18. The Fredericton Jazz Collective will be playing at the opening as well.

The Lunchbox: Eddie Young (Living Roots Festival)

Posted on 2018-04-09 by encaf1 Posted in The Lunchbox

In a time when the world can be virtually at our doorstop, it’s important to remember the people, performers and art right on our actual doorstep..

My guest today is Eddie Young. If you’ve gone to local music in Fredericton on a regular basis, Eddie is one of the people that you should thank for contributing to a constantly-available line-up of local and touring musicians. For the third year in a row, he’s gone above and beyond to create a large festival of music, art and even poetry called the Living Roots Music Festival. He joins me to talk about the growth and maturation of the festival, the large line-up this year, and the anticipated wonderful music to be heard.

The Living Roots Music Festival takes place in numerous venues all around town from May 24-28. You can find out more about it on the Facebook event or the website.
