Native American Alaska Music Video. James Grant passed away April 11, 2010 after continuing to work while fighting a long battle with cancer. He was fighting that battle at the time this video was shot. This video production presents the background of Alaska’s renowned Athabascan Indian Artist, James L. Grant Sr., who was born in Tanana Alaska. His mother died as a result of a tuberculoses epidemic and he and his brother, Jay, were raised in an ophanage in Nenana and Fairbanks until James was seven. At that time, a couple adopted them and took them to Southern California where they remained till adulthood. Soon after serving in the US Military James and Jay returned to Alaska to reunite with their Athabascan family. At an early age James discovered that he had talent as an artist and pursued those talents through his grade and high school years. Upon arriving in Alaska he entered the University of Alaska Fairbanks and his career as Alaska’s renowned Athabascan Artist began to blossom. This production concludes with an eight month documentation of the progress of James creating an aluminum sculpture that is now exhibited in front of the Bassett Army Community Hospital at Ft. Wainwright, Alaska. The progress of the sculpture construction is set to the origanal song, “Native American Soldier” that is sung by “Indian Pete”, Pete Peter a well known Athabascan musician and singer. This video is a short version of the original 24 min. version that also shows many of James works … Video Rating: 5 / 5
A little portfolio movie creation for my application for a 2010 Canada Council for the Arts Grant. The movie tells my story, from leaving Canada to travel the world working on my art and gathering momentum for the 1Mandala project. Its for my application for a Canada Council Grant for an exhibition of my 1Mandala work in Berlin. These grants are very prestigious here in Canada and notoriously hard to get. Grants in Canada are hard to get period. There’s not nearly as much money for arts as there used to be and in comparison to other G8 and developed countries. This will be my sixth time applying. Normally an artist submits slides of their work. However, there’s an option to submit videos also. So, I decide to get a little creative and make all my old slides into a video! I’ve applied for so many grants, that I have so many old slides. It took off from there. A year ago, I had a stellar opportunity tot pick the mind of a former Canada Council panelist who reviewed applications. My video is designed with his comments and description of the process in mind. I try to tell my story and my project in one succinct three minute blast. I cross my fingers. But whatever. I must now stifle any hope and start focusing other funding opportunities. Its all part of the game. At least, the core work of this video will be very useful for other 1Mandala videos and applications. Video Rating: 5 / 5

Joyce Yang, piano; Lowell Liebermann, “Gargoyles,” Op. 29 (1989) III. Allegro moderato; IV. Presto feroce Video Rating: 4 / 5
This is Part One of two parts. Posted by an admirer of the composer, and of this work in particular, in the hope that this may encourage further performances and recordings. To the best of our knowledge no commercial recording of Richard Hoffmann’s Trio is currently available. Richard Hoffmann represents Schoenbergs revolutionary classicism in its purest form; further, he extended serialism beyond pitch to rhythm and dynamics. Born in Vienna on April 20, 1925, he lived in New Zealand from 1935 to 1947. Graduating from Auckland University in 1945, he began his association with Schoenberg in 1947 when he moved to Los Angeles. According to Helen Paxton, a former student of Hoffmanns at Oberlin College and author of Musics Connecticut Yankee: An Introduction to the Life and Music of Charles Ives, Hoffmann passionately promoted the twelve-tone method but forced his students to think lyrically. His music is like Bachs, finely wrought but intensely lyrical. Oberlin College Conservatory Biography for concert of works by Hoffmann and some of his former students: Professor of Composition and Music Theory Richard Hoffmann, appointed at Oberlin in 1954, served as Arnold Schoenberg’s secretary-amenuensis from 1947-1951. Hoffmann received the National Institute of Arts and Letters Award in 1966, Guggenheim Fellowships in 1970-1 and 1977-8, and National Endowment for the Arts grants in 1976-77, 1978 and 1979. Hoffmann also co-edited the Schoenberg Gesamtausgabe. He was a Visiting …
