There are thousands of people in our community — and many of them are creative types, artists in many media. Stefan Westner is a great example, a visual artist producing great public-facing art (the mural near the Capital) as well as more intimate mixed-media collages. He sat down with Cedric and I to talk about his commissioned work, his personal work, and the hope to live as an artist full-time.

The musical community in Fredericton (and in many parts of the Maritimes) is as vibrant and collaborative as ever! Singer/songwriter Adam Washburn dropped by to talk to Cedric and I about the gradual release of his new EP, Beautiful Things, the art and practice of music, and magic of music that happens when folks get together and just jam.

I’m a huge fan of the Charlotte Street Arts Centre. They are tremendous asset supporting many, many different kinds of arts, from musical performances, dance, circus, photography, film-making, painting and much, much more. Mike Taggart (of local band The Lee Harvey Oswalds and doing his own show of Bravery, Repetition and Noise here every Thursday night) has been working with the CSAC all summer, helping them put on shows and organize events. He joins Cedric and I to talk about the 3rd annual New Brunswick Musicians Emerge (NB-ME) festival, about the great things the CSAC has gotten up to (including the Haunted House spectacular).
Here is the NB-ME application form for musicians. You have until July 31st to apply!

Halifax’s The Stogies and St. John’s NFLD’s Long Distance Runners were great enough to come into the station June 6, 2013 just as their Runnin’ On Fumes tour was kicking off, and for the first time ever CHSR had two bands for a Session.

Independent documentary producer David Kattenburg (of the Green Planet Monitor) is travelling to numerous areas of the country, building a series of narrationless documentaries called “12 Canadians”. He stopped by to talk about making documentaries, connecting with people’s stories, and seeing Canada through voices.
And in the second half, we played an interview conducted on Tuesday with legendary racecar driver Mario Andretti. Racing fan Fred (of “Hi My Name Is Fred!” and EPIC!) sat down with Andretti to geek out about what happens when racing is in your blood — and in your family.

Foxwitches – Chapter One
Fredericton’s Hip Hop community has some fresh new faces adding new flavour and dynamics to the scene. Along with Captain 111 and Foxwitch, there is something for everyone – the eclectic nature of the scene is encouraging.
Foxwitch brings two essential elements in what I believe makes a good hip hop album; phenomenal beats and engaging creative lyricism. Lets start with the beats. Are they fresh, ‘yes sir’. The beats are strong and confident, in fact, the obvious influences are apparent but the music is better for it. It’s the culmination of influences and the artists refinement of those influences that separates true artists from hacks or posers. Who do I hear in Foxwitch’s beats? I hear MF Doom’s influence, RZA, and some J Dilla production. Hey man, if those production elements can be found in your music you are doing something right. This is headphone shit. Get lost in it.
Foxwitch’s immediately hooks you from the first sample layered beat. With production levels this high, you have to be a damn good MC to match the imagination found in the beats. Lyrically, Foxwitch is engaging and unique, providing an authenticity that is rarely scene in mainstream hip hop. His personality shines in the lyrics; however, the delivery sometimes has a hard time catching up with beats and the flow can get a tad bit monotonous. This is a minor criticism in relation to the whole.
The glue that holds together the beats with the flow is in the strength of the lyrics. The lyrics are interpersonal thought experiments that shape into allegorical poetic imagery. With line’s, ‘Embrass the demon, become poetic medium’, Foxwitch perfectly encapsulates his stylistic vision. The hush vocal styles makes you feel like you are being let in on a secret that is being whispered to you by a lost subconscious ‘other’ you.
The beats are hard so the style of delivery works. Considering this recording is Foxwitch’s debut, I am impressed at the sophisticated vision that he brings to the table this early in the game. Bring up the flow and the rest will follow, because Foxwitch’s is nothing to ‘Fuk With’.
