Now back to the music.

Yma Sumac, one of the greatest and strangest voices and personas of the 20th century, died on November 1st, 2008 at the age of 86.



I discovered Yma Sumac while reading the ReSeach books about Incredibly Strange Music. I later heard her voice on a compilation a friend of mine owned. Thus began a ten year obsession with the mystery of Yma Sumac. I bought everything and anything I could find. I bought her albums in 78 albums (which is where the term arguably began, with these "albums" of 78s), on 45 box sets, on 10" and 12" LPs. If it had Yma, I bought it.

She was amazing.

Yo! It's in THREE-DEE!

Last Saturday, October 18th, Paul Hammond and Seth Smith, aka Yo Rodeo presented their new work in a show called Three Dee Realms at Argyle Fine Art, here in Halifax.



The entire show was comprised of a collection of screen printed anaglyphic (red and blue) 3-D prints created by the talented duo, known for their distinctive posters seen about town and all over Canada. I had the chance to talk with Paul Hammond last tuesday when he came to CKDU to talk about Yo Rodeo, their work, their creations and the headaches (proverbial and literal) that come from printing in three dee.

I also had the opportunity to hang out and chat with award winning photographer Chr!s Smith. Sm!th and the folks at Argyle Fine Art organised RePixx, a cross-pollination of musicians and artists. Chr!s came down to CKDU to talk about his work and making dirty hairy musicians look good.
