The Lunchbox Interview: Chris Ryder (Animaritime)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-Animartime2016Is there anyone who hasn’t wanted to chance to become your favourite character for a while?

This weekend has a lot to celebrate! Beyond the big Canada Day party is another celebration of stories bigger than ourselves: Animaritime! This three-day fun, fan convention centres on a number of eternal entertainments that appeal to kids and adults alike: animation (specifically Japanese anime), video games, roleplaying games and costuming (cosplay).

My guest today is Chris Ryder, Assistant Convention Operations Director of Animaritime. We discuss some of the things to look forward to this weekend, from special guests to anime viewings to speed-running video games and, of course: lots of costumes!

Music today:

  • I’m hoping the weather works out for all the events this weekend. I think we’ll have a decent idea by the Morning Glow, but in any case, Stephen Lewis makes it sound pretty good on his album Life’s A Garden!

The Lunchbox Interview: Katherine Moller (Music Creation)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox2016ArtistsInResidence-KatherineMollerMusic comes from story, heart and mind.

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

Katherine Moller is a musician, in every way: performer, composer, teacher and listener. She’s spending her time this week as one of the Artist’s-in-Residence creating music in front of visitors. She’s set herself a goal: take the stories, culture and memories of the joy, hardship and adventure of early Irish settlers to this region, and transform that into music. We talk about her creation process, inspiration, and turning heads with music.

Music today:

  • I last spoke with Katherine Moller on the release of her charity “Christmas” album, so how could I resist playing something from it? We hear just a clip of Mom’s Jig Set from the album Greensleeves and Puddin’ Pies.

The Lunchbox Interview: Carter Chase (Drawing)

LunchBox2016ArtistsInResidence-CarterChaseAn artist can reveal the things that are real but not really there.

During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.

Carter Chase creates art, images which reflect his thoughts, his ideas, his dreams, his music. He paints in the rain and painstakingly details ink drawings. He challenges himself and minimizes his palette. He joins me to talk about his sources of inspiration, the mediums he’s most commonly working in, and new things on the horizon.

Music today:

  • In anticipation of their upcoming pre-Canada Day celebration show, I thought it would be nice to revisit The Grey by Kill Chicago, from their album of the same name.

RFYL Episode – BrexitStageLeftEp24

Posted on by Posted in Run For Your Life!

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

On today’s episode, we pretend we’re super topical by casually throwing around “Brexit” while trying to google what it means. Also, we play a lot of super awesome music because we always do that, but especially so because it’s kind of proggy in a stoner rock way. Are those descriptions? No.

Be sure to tune in and hear us talk to Super Fan Shane on Twitter by having sort-of one-sided conversations since you can’t really hear him talk back to us (though you can go to Twitter and find it – RFYLMatt ) and bam. There you go. It’s like you’re really there, except you weren’t, so if you were listening live and confused…

Welcome to the show.

See you next week.

Playlist:
THE BALCONIES – Money Money
The Pack AD – So What
Tsunami Bomb – Obligation
Kilmore – Rising Sun
Bloody Diamonds – Medicine
A Primitive Evolution – Becoming
Stitched Up Heart – Now That You’re Gone
Beneath the Grid Music – Mr. Bella – Don’t Tell Me No
Kitchen Witch – Like Blood / Delusion
The Joy Formidable – Passerby
Rockyard – The Chase

The Lunchbox Interview: Tim Rayne on Raynemaker Productions

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-TimRayneFilms require vision, which is not in the eyes.

A surprise second guest for this Thursday: Tim Rayne is a local film-maker whose company, Raynemaker Productions, has recently been awarded a substantial TeleFilm grant. Tim is also a former Station Manager at CHSR!

He stops in to catch me up on the work he has been doing in film, as well as the great opportunities he’s got coming up on the horizon.

To end off the interview, I played the track No, Please from Motherhood‘s recent release, Baby Teeth.

The Lunchbox Interview: Hushi on the Cultural Expressions Festival

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-2016CulturalExpressionsFestivalThe world is your community; the community, your world.

For the past 8 years, Fredericton has been enthusiastically celebrated the multitudes of international cultures that have become integrated into the fabric of our community. The Cultural Expressions Festival is the peak of that celebration. This weekend, dozens of performances from over 20 parts of the world will fill the stage in Officer’s Square, and food from all four corners of the world will tempt your tastebuds.

My guest today is Hushi, one of the organizers behind this year’s Festival. He joins me to talk about the things you’ll be able to see, taste and do there, the preparation that goes into this year’s festival, and a bit about this year’s highlighted cultures of Iran.

The 8th Annual Cultural Expressions Festival runs June 23-24 in Officer’s Square.

To end the interview, I played a multicultural bonanza of a track: from the band Reykavictim who come from the Czech Republic, from an album partially written in France and recorded in Shanghai, a Chinese track called Dao Shi Hou from the album Xiao Di Fang.

The Lunchbox Interview: Bard In The Barracks Presents: “The Adventures of Pericles”

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-BardInTheBarracks2016Who doesn’t like a good adventure in the woods?

For 11 years, the Bard in the Barracks has brought Shakespeare to an outdoor location, thrilling audiences with classic drama, comedy and action! This year, they are staging one of the Bard’s later plays, The Adventures of Pericles. I admit, I’m not as familiar with it, but fortunately I’m joined by dramaturge Len Falkenstein and two of the actors of the company, Alexa Higgins and Jean-Michel Cliche. They demonstrate one of the revelatory scenes from later in the play, and we all talk about what it’s like staging a play than spans decades in the great outdoors.

Music today:

  • Hoping to invoke the drama of a Shakespearean play, I chose to lead with Cowpuncher‘s Kiss Kiss Kill, from their album Hustle.
  • And reflecting the majesty of nature and the transition from light to shadow of theatre, we heard Shade by Elephant Skeletons, from their latest album, The Traveler Part 1.
