Analysis MUSIC

The bad side of music

By Catalina Magee

There are many agents of popular culture though which the messages, themes and symbols of popular culture are produced and consumed. Media is a key agent of popular culture, and within it music is one mode for the production and consumption of popular culture. The music of the 1960’s marked a key period of transition in the United States as themes of social problems and dissidence started to fill the radio waves. Try to explore one social issue or problem in music today. Which is one social issue/problem that is represented in popular culture through music`s lyrics nowadays? If you were to name one social problem (i.e. drugs, the environment, war, teenage pregnancy, hate crimes, etc), which one would you say is mostly found in today`s music?

What is the problem with today`s music? My answer to these entire questions is DRUGS!

lyrics were: “She says I know what it’s like to be dead….” which were Peter Fonda’s famous words to George Harrison. This song has drug references and Peter Fonda did not hesitate to acknowledge the fact that he was the main inspiration of the song. After Fonda’s comments and acceptance of the acid to the media regarding the acid party hosted by the Beatles, Fonda’s relationship with John Lennon has changed drastically. Soon after Fonda’s comments, John Lennon held on to his fury and made the song “He said he said”, but after a few days of bad comments from the media on his vicious pay-back, he decided to change the title to “She said she said” and erase some lyrics of the song. The comments that infuriated Lennon were the sarcastic description of the people from the acid party and their behavior

Beatles (1966). She said she said. [Recorded by EMI Studios]. On Revolver CD. London, Europe:EMI Studios.

John Lennon said that he wrote “She Said, She Said” (Revolver, 1966, side one, track 7) about an LSD experience he had at a party in 1966 with Peter Fonda, during the Beatles tour in The United States. The song’s repetitively Trend Privé Magazine 22

Velvet Underground (1967). Heroin. [Recorded by T.T.G Studios] on The Velvet Underground & Nico. Hollywood, Calif.:T.T.G Studios.

Another song dealing with the controversial subject of drug use is “Heroin”

by Velvet Underground (The Velvet Underground & Nico. 1967, side two, track 7) is 7 minutes and 12 seconds long, a non-commercial song which gives a picture of the heroin’s use and abuse. This song is incorporated in

The bad side of music “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll” and was placed number 455 in the Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 “Greatest songs of all times”. The song has a melodic guitar sound and a hypnotic drum patterns. The lyrics “When I put a spike into my vein / And I’ll tell ya, things aren’t quite the same/ When I’m rushing on my run / And I feel just like Jesus’ son” talk about the feeling of being high being a superior feeling.

The description of the feeling is also followed by a dependency of the heroin: “Heroin, be the death of me /Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life / Because a Mainer to my vein / Leads to a center in my head / And then I’m better off and dead / Because when the smack begins to flow / I really don’t care anymore”. The drummer was under the influence during the recording and forgot the drumming at the 5:17 mark, which made her “mistake” an important factor of the song. People loved the originality of the song and they considered the few missing seconds of the drums a unique element in the music industry. This experimental and psychedelic rock song was found to be particularly controversial for the fact that it talks about the drugs in a positive light and it does not specify the fact that drugs are an unhealthy and unacceptable addiction. “Heroin be the death of me” enforced the fact that heroin will cause death, but it is sang in an exclamatory way where he is wishing that the heroin would be the reason for his death, as in that would be a good death and a thing to be proud of. The video is filmed in black and white and at the mark of 6:03 we see a happy child playing an instrument and a policeman in the back of the band enjoying the music.

Jimi Hendrix (1967) Purple Haze. [Recorded by De Lane Lea and Olympic Studios ] on The Jimi Hendrix Experience, London England :De Lane Lea and Olympic Studios.

The fourth song that I will discuss is “Purple Haze” written by Jimmy Hendrix in 1966 and recorded in 1967. (Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1967,track 1). This hit became a classis and exemplary psychedelic drug songs of the 60s. Q magazine placed “Purple Haze” at number one on its “100 Greatest Guitar Tracks” and the Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 17 in their “Greatest 500 songs of all Time”. The intro of the song is famous for its jazz distinctive three whole tones and the Octavia on the guitar. The lyrics “You’ve got me blown, blown my mind / Is it tomorrow or just the end of time” are the essential description of drugs in the song. The line “Excuse me while I kiss the sky” has been misheard in many concerts and mistaken for “excuse me while I kiss this guy/fly”. The song brought a drastic change in the 1960s popular music industry and the drugs were a main cause of it.

Drugs changed the music styles and the music influenced the culture into using drugs as well. “Purple Haze” had a huge success in the movie industry as well and was an inspiration to many new artists. It had a huge impact on all age groups for many years and it is now a classic.

The Toyes (1983) Smoke two Joints. [Recorded by CD Tunes Records] on The Toyes, Oahu, Hawaii:CD Tunes Records.

The final composition that involves illicit drug use is “Smoke two joints” by The Toyes (The Toyes. 1983, track 1) was one of the stoner anthems and the most popular version of the song, also made by many other bands and artists (as Bob Marley, B Wishes, Macy Gray, Sublime, Richard Cheese, etc).

This song shares the joy and pleasure of smoking marijuana all day and the success of taking over Michael Jackson and Journey as the number one most requested song at the “Top 5 at 5” on 98 Rock KPOI-FM in Oahu, Hawaii for ten months. The band is well known for their support on the legalization on marijuana and their fans are highly encouraging the band in this process.

The main message of the song that attracted a lot of young fans was: “Hey, would you rather smoke two joints or would you rather do your homework?” “Smoke two joints” is a song that promotes marijuana with simple lyrics and melody. The song was also featured in the video game of 2005, called “NARC”.

“American Cultural History” notes that the genre “Acid Rock”, “highly amplified and improvisational, and the more mellow psychedelic rock gained prominence. When the Beatles turned to acid rock, their audience narrowed to the young…and the young turned into drugs” (Goodwin, S. and Bradley, B . (1999). 1960-1969. American Cultural History, Lone Star College-Kingwood Library,Kingwood, TX, p.1).

This Journal Article “presents the results of a content analysis of alcohol and drug portrayals in the top 100 Billboard songs from each of the years 1968, 1978, 1988, 1998, and 2008, thus allowing both a characterization of substance portrayals in music generally and an analysis of changes over time. Of the final sample of 496 songs, 10.3%% contained a reference to alcohol and 5.7%% contained a reference to drugs. A substantial increase was found over the decades, and in particular over the last two: in 1988, 12%% of songs referred to either or both classes of substance, compared to 30%% in 2008.

Marijuana was by far the most frequently mentioned drug. Both alcohol and drugs were much more likely to be portrayed positively than negatively, especially in recent decades. The results are discussed in terms of relevant theories of media processing and impact.” (Substance Use & Misuse Jan2012, Vol. 47 Issue 2, p121 9p.)

Drugs,sex and violence are common on the screen and in nowadays music lyrics, and children are constantly being put at risk by the media. Because of these reasons, one could say that the bad side of music is increasing and that today`s music is probably the most counter-productive creation in recent history.

How did the invention of the camera affect the kinds of paintings that artists did in the nineteenth century?

by Catalina Magee

The

19th

century

was dominated by technical progress and extensive realignment of society. Liberated from all patrician and clerical ties, artists were free to follow their individual convictions and artistic ideas. Their creations reflected atmospheric landscapes, rapture of colors, real life, every day beauty, romantic and realistic paintings. Their divergent style movements emerged with increasing rapidity and art became a commodity on the open market. The most well-known artists on the 19th Century are: E. Delacroix, Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, C.D. Friedrich, Gustave Courbet, Jean-Francois Millet,Adolf van Menzel, Francisco de Goya, Edouard Manet, Claude Manet, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat and many others. In the 19th Century, Romanticism introduced subjectivity, intuition and emotion into arts. Set free from the traditional repertoire of imagery, artists realized their own ideas. The revolutions of 1848 in European countries and advancing industrialization worldwide led to the beginning of a new art creation and society, called Realism.

The painters of realism broke away from religious, mythological and literary models and they reflected upon everyday reality with a true and honest commitment to nature and beauty. The beginning of a modern art started with the Impressionism, with brilliant colors, loose brush strokes, happy elements and no political overtones.

Self-Impressionism marked the beginning of classic modern art when artists like Vincent Van Gogh and Gustav Klimt freed themselves of exact replication and stressed the inherent laws of art. My favorite artist of all times is the Spanish painter called Salvador Dali and his visions full of inexplicable portents and allusions defined the beginning of a new realistic trend, called Surrealism. This amazing artist had a rough time selling his work, being discovered or getting any awards, but to the fact that after the world war one many artists countered ecstatic expressionism and spiritualized abstraction with the depiction of tangible objects. While Salvador Dali was spending hours on a surrealistic painting, Edward Hopper described the loneliness of modern city people in pictures and photographs.

Trend Privé Magazine 34

After the World War Two, abstract art dominated the art world. However in the 1960s, new artistic markets as well as Pop art widened the concept of art. But pop art did not last too long, due to the new creation of the contemporary art that included video projectors and digital photographs.

The art of painting lost its predominance in the 1970s with the triumphant entry of the conceptual and “performance art,” and also photographic and video art, whose pioneer was the Fluxus artist Nam June Paik. The photography and other technical innovations led to the development of a new repertoire of imagery and the birth of Fashion avant-garde.

The photo-camera and its discovery closed a chapter in our culture and opened a new gate to a faster and easier technology.

The new media and old paintings are two different conceptions of art. The old paintings have true talents, painters, originality, exquisite and expensive pieces of art. The new media has a very promising future. The practitioners of the non-painting art form want to create a space for experiences that stimulate new ways of observing, feeling, and thinking.

Photographers Gerhard Richter and Cindy Sherman created artistic photographs by adding blurring effects, adding mirror reality to their work or dramatized the role of women in the self portraits.

The 21rst Century

is the post modern era of the artists that borrow from the old heritage of art and mixed media categories, styles, and techniques as their creativity desires. New photographic companies (like Fuji, Logitech, Kodac, Canon and Nikon) started selling a new creation and improved camera. This is the digital camera and the beginning of a new era.

The Economist Magazine describes the digital camera as “freed from the constraints of film, digital cameras can assume a bewildering range of new shapes and sizes (such as credit-card sized cameras that slip invisibly into a shirt pocket) and

do all kinds of new tricks (such as sepiatoning a photo, or applying other special effects). New services and accessories for digital-camera users are proliferating, from high-street and online print-making services to printers for home and portable use” (p.1). Digital cameras have been created at the best time in our artistic generation.

There were no more amazingly talented painters when the digital cameras first started selling. The economy in the world was suffering and people could not afford buying any of the classical paintings. The New York Times newspaper announced that “nine valuable Impressionist paintings, including a masterpiece by Claude Monet that gave the late 19th-century art movement its name, have been recovered in Corsica five years after they were stolen from the Marmottan Museum in Paris”(p.1).

The economy was down and the paintings were too famous to sell, each painting was valued at nearly $20 million and some of the work would not be salable on the open market. There’s never been mentioned of any photographer that sold any work for that amount of money or that has a place in the artistic history, but yet digital cameras have replaced the old painting era and affected the kind of work that the painters from the 19th century created. New generations are focused into photography more and neglect the existence of the classic art. the digital camera is “as a tool to register personal experiences in physical space as well as a currency for communicating in digital space, has affected people’s sense of physical place and thus has contributed to the ongoing hybridization of physical and digital experiences” (Dong-Hoo, Lee , “Digital Cameras, Personal Photography and the Reconfiguration of Spatial Experiences.”

Information Society 26.4 (2010): 266-275.

Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web. 13 Sept. 2011.)

The camera has replaced the old paintings and has brought a new style of art to life. As the technology speeds and produces new artistic objects, people are open to the new wage. These new inventions have been created not to replace the real talents of the 19th century, but to give a chance to the new talents of a new generation.

Why? by Pete Jansen How do I convey the true reflection of my heart and my soul, the palpitating life who’s clarity was just born to my eyes?

How do I dye into words the hue which possessing this feels like deep in my being?

Each word I write is birthed from the growth of the symphonic tree of my life in bloom. Each phrase has the power to heal, hurt and convey emotions in me which I can only but hope will touch another heart or emote another soul.

It would be vile for these phrases, which are so tethered to my own life, to be despised. It would be vile to be hurt by the tragedy of a loved one’s judgement upon the expression which is solely meant to expose my heart and soul and leave me fragilely vulnerable and open to love.

I sigh... My heart finds no rest, my mind dwells on the recognition of the momentousness of this emotion. Unconditional love, unconditional disclosure.

Dancing At the Center by Tokoni Uti Dancing at the center, The symphony fights to enter; Lights all around us, Arms knotted and still generous Wonders floating above our heads.

The poignant reflection has almost fled, The exquisite decorations slowly cascade Your eyes in a bright parade.

Bio: Tokoni Uti was born in 1997 and began writing when she was 10 years old.

She is a poet and novelist and has written for S magazine, The Los Angeles Post-Examiner, Surf girl Magazine, I-X daily, The San Diego Free Press, The Los Angeles Free Press, The Portsmouth Daily Times and others.

She lives in Lagos, is a student of Bowen University and blogs at: www.insanitybeautiful.wordpress.com

I exhale as I discern the truth. My words will see the light of the eyes of the love I treasure, but not today.

Today, I wait. I wait for the rosy luscious lips into which all this will be poured. Reviled in one simple loving kiss.

We are standing up stronger today

Pete Jansen is a Coach and Writer born in Mexico City, Mexico to a Dutch father and a Mexican mother, educated in the U.S., Canada and England. He currently lives in Spain and works with personal vision of changing someone’s world every day through his work.

When our two souls stand up erect and strong, Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher, Until the lengthening passion breaks into fire, At either curving point,- what bitter wrong Can the Earth do to us, that we should not long Be contented? Think!

Not a life, year, day, nor a blink Could isolate our spirits from each other, And we`re standing still on one another, In a place to live and love for an eternal day, With darkness and the death-hour rounding it away.

We are standing up stronger today...

Same game with Karen Walker, Fashion Designer, branding expert, retail executive, with five questions: CC: What category of clothing are you most excited about Topshop bringing to NZ? KW: Men’s Suiting—such great details! Also the denim and make-up.

Cameron Carpenter CC: Will you be doing a capsule collection or collaboration with Topshop? & Gordon Richardson KW: It’s not part of the plan, and the timing with all the other things going on isn’t right.

CC: What exactly is your role in bringing Topshop/ Topman to NZ? Arcadia ventured in with Topretail that I formed with Barkers to bring in Topshop to the department store. After three years of amazing sales we knew it was time to put the wheels in motion to bring Topshop here. I’m glad to be part of this new chapter.

CC: in 2009 you had a vampire themed eyewear campaign. Were they day walkers or nightwalkers?

KW: They were just creepy heebie jeebies to us. We didn’t think too far ahead so it’s what you take from it, I guess Cameron (huge smile) Thank you, Karen.

This newly repurposed area that was once downtrodden and a “grey zone pass through” putting it nicely, to get to ones train, has blossomed into an amazing shopping experience and with fantastic restaurants, and open spaces for watching cricket/ special events and news on bean bags if you wish. The management has done an expert job on managing the area for an open plan shopping area, water front open Areas have been repurposed to have park activities on the waterfront wharfs, outdoor festivals, markets, bike races, kid’s events and so much more beyond the amazing restaurants and shopping. Of note is the care to details, return of heritage details and quality of updating of these buildings in such a fast time as well as the plans for reusing / repurposing has won many accolades from city officials and planners alike.

BritoMart`s Sensational Shows BritoMart management puts on seasonal shows of the designer and smaller boutiques in the area. It acts as a small A/W fashion showing piled into two fun days.

There are no official Fashion Week fall season showings here yet, so this is a great way to promote the season`s offerings and suggestions (and the areas of offerings).

They handle quite large events effortlessly! There were mix n mingle industry and friends events, notable locals and a couple celebs. Each event has a preshow event with amazing canapés and open bar before each show. (I seemed to exist on the oysters with fruit shavings, caviar, and BTS shots+chats for 2 days) These precede the actual shows for these 2 days.

Here we’re showing you just some of the best of the best highlights of a fully packed schedule.

Music`s

Cool FACTS Renaissance (15th- 16th Century) * When people attended the churches, they were singing the songs. The large choirs were the responsible ones to sing the churches songs. * The most popular type of music in choirs of the churches was called Polyphony. * Polyphony involved different kinds of vocal melodies at the same time. * Another type of renaissance music is Madrigal. It involved three to six singers, that had to sing it with a lot of emotion. The songs usually contained romantic lyrics or poems. * The people who lived during the Renaissance era created the improvement on musical instruments. In 1500s, violin was created in Italy for the first time. * Besides violin, there were many other popular musical instruments created in ancient Renaissance. The recorder and bagpipe were included as the woodwind instruments. The popular stringed instruments included the hurdy gurdy and lyre. Other instruments were cornett, horns and trumpets. * Back in the renaissance times, there used to have a musical instrument that you can compare with a guitar, but it was made with a round back. It was called Lute. * The famous composers of Renaissance included Thomas Tallis, William Byrd and Josquin Des Prez. * Renaissance`s musical instrument that looked like a piano with keys was the Harpsichord. The way the people played it was different than the piano. You did not hit it, but pluck the string.

Romanticism (1820- 1890) * Concerts were spectacular events where violin strings snapped or entire instruments were broken. It is said that if Paganini`s E-string broke during a performance, he would continue playing on the other three strings until he had finished. * “Romanticism” was brought about by the social and political stresses following the French Revolution, and the resulting nationalistic trends. It was a period of dramatic thought and action, also involving contradictions between capitalism and socialism, freedom and oppression, logic and emotion, science and faith. * The piano was the most important instrument of the period and literature mixed with music and became closely connected.

Modern Music (around 1900)

* The decadent, Fin-deSiècle consciousness created a cult of beauty and a search for exotic sounds. Impressionism experimented with new tonal colors. * Salome`s “Dance of the Seven Veils” shocked audiences. Never before has a soprano danced so seductively in such a scanty costume, The modern area opened ways to sexuality.

Medieval Music (5th/6th-14th Century)

* The oldest surving musical texts date from the 8th and 9th centuries. * Neumes from the 9th century were early mnemonic devices written above or next to the text to indicate tonal changes. * The five-line stave, thought to be a Spanish invention, has indicated pitch since the 13th century, while written musical notes have indicated length since the 14th century. * There are several types of medieval instruments that you can find in the modern days. However, the old instrument has been modified. You can find that a flute in the medieval times was created from wood. But now the instrument is made from metal or silver. * There were many kinds of plucked string instruments used by the medieval people to create great music. They often used psaltery, mandore, lute and gittern.

Classical Era (1760-1820) The music of the Viennese classical era emerged amid the aesthetic and social upheaval that shaped the late 18th century: The Enlightment, the end of absolutism, and the discovery of the emotional responsiveness. New musical forms were greatly demanded in this new cultural climate. Thus, this saw the rise of the string quartet as music for the “expert” music lovers as well as the solo concert and symphony for the concert hall, which was open for the first time to all (paying) guests. The most important composers were Mozard and Beethoven. The classical music followed the ideals of the Enlightenment.

Baroque (1600- 1750) * The music of the Baroque era, named after the elaborate architectural style of the period, re-flected the splendor of absolute rule. The new genre of oratorio was also grandiose, but was based on Biblical themes.

Jean-Baptiste Lully (born 1632 in Florence, Italy and died in 1687 in Paris, France), created comedic ballet- a mixture of comedy, ballet, and song.

MUSIC-MAKING WITH DEADLINE CONSEQUENCES: Lully conducted with a long, heavy, lavishly decorated baton, reflecting the opulence of the Court of Versailles. He used to indicate the initial beat by hitting the baton on the floor, but one time he hit his foot instead. The wound did not heal and inflammation set in. Lully died a few days later of gangrene. * The oratorio, a type of sacred opera, brought religious themes into the concert hall. Johann Sebastian Bach made the cantata the centerpiece of Protestant Church music. * The sites for holding performances of oratotios varied as widely as the changes in tonal sound for these sacred operas, which were not equivalent to a Mass and did not have stage sets,

Analysis Television

The impact of television on American society

By Catalina Magee

The question of the impact of television on American society remains a burning one because of the effects that television has had, and still has, on that society. The effects can be seen in the behavior of individuals, both young and old alike, who have been influenced by various images that they have seen on television and in the division that has arisen between families in their viewing habits. The impact of television can be seen by people’s everyday conversations that centre on the latest soap opera, sporting event or news item. Agenda setting is used by advertisers on television in an attempt to influence what Americans buy. The media can have an influence on people in relation to politics and the outcome of elections. People’s perceptions on what they should look like, what they should wear and who they are, are heavily influenced by the “beautiful people” that are seen on television each and every day. This can have an impact on people’s attitudes and could lead to racism!

‘The television violence issue has been and continues to be the subject of public concern.’ Violent images are a common sight on American television in films, dramas, cartoons and news programs. It could be argued that American television controls what people talk about socially. For those who do not own a television, it must be a nightmare to attempt to engage in a conversation with the viewing masses. Social conversation on the whole can tend to evolve around the latest soap opera crisis, sporting or world disaster. An example of this was in the 1980’s when America almost came to a stop in some circles as everyone waited to find out who shot J.R. Ewing in the soap opera Dallas. Streets can be left deserted when the Superbowl or World Series is being televised and the following day office, mall and street conversation is concerned with the team`s performance. News bulletins can inform the nation about current events but the problem with the news networks is that ‘the media themselves decide what newsworthy issues are.’ It could be suggested that the American news media might be in a form of isolationism when it comes to world events.

The question of the impact of television on American society remains a burning one due to the effects that television has had and still has on society.

The effects are seen in the influence that television has had on people’s behavior, in the sanitizing of violence whereby violent images have become the norm. The fact that people no longer view television together as a family has led to the generation gap becoming wider and a lessening of mutual understanding between age groups. People’s conversations and discourse can centre on the events happening in the latest soap opera, sporting event or news item. What clothes Americans are wearing, what their homes look like and who they are as individuals can be set by the advertisers via the medium of television. Television can have an influence on people in relation to politics and possibly on the outcome of elections and this influence could lead to America no longer being a democracy. People can be heavily influenced by the images of the “beautiful people” that they see on television each and every day and this can lead to people feeling inadequate and to them having a low self-esteem. A continuing of stereotyping on television will only contribute to the sexism and racism in American society. Politicians have used the medium of television in order to promote themselves and to

attempt to influence what political party to vote for. It could be argued that people are happy with the status quo and just accept what they hear and see from the medium of television and they either do not care or cannot be bothered to get involved in politics. Conrad Lodziak argues that ‘television viewing promotes political inactivity.’ This attitude could have a wide ranging impact on American society as it may give politicians more power and could lead to America no longer being a true democracy. In the Presidential election in 2000 the medium of television came under close scrutiny.

Some people argue that the television has quickly become one of the worst inventions in recent history. Cable companies and television networks seem to have no problem proliferating inappropriate material through the screen and in many cases, it has had a negative impact on society and more importantly, on children. In many ways, the new age of television has young people and old alike relying more upon the tube for their entertainment, and the nation has seen negative impact on the overall fitness level. Because televisions have become so easy to obtain and the programming is very cheap, the problem is something of a widespread epidemic in America today, Marshall McLuhan summed up television fairly eloquently when he said: “The medium is the message. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without the knowledge of the way media work as environments” (McLuhan). This quote seems to sum up the power that a medium like a television can have on a people as a whole. The problem in America lies in the fact that the television is not maximizing its potential because the programming which is selected is a type of programming that sends the wrong message to children. “ Violence and sex are the most common violators of this ethical dilemma and there does not seem to be any end in sight. The television in itself would not be the problem were programming companies to display enlightening and uplifting things on their channels.

One good thing about television is the fact that it is a new way to get the news to people. The television news media is something that has grown in leaps and bounds over the past twenty years. This slight advantage has been compromised however, by the problems that have arisen in the area of fitness because of people depending too much on television for their free time and for their entertainment. While television programs do not encourage any sort of exercise, they also show images that are unrealistic for youngsters. Movie stars and television stars fill the screens with images and create expectations that are somewhat unattainable for most children that are doing the watching. Popular shows have put themselves in a permanent spot in the daily and weekly routines of people, and because of this, there has to be some sort of logistic compromise. With the busy nature of schedules, people are sacrificing time for important things in favor of watching television shows which are filled with violence and sexual innuendo. The problems with television have been well documented and well stated. Not only does the emergence of television cause a lack of fitness and exercise in America, but it is also serving to corrupt America’s youth in its choice of programming. If America is to get back on the moral and physical track which existed before the television, a change in lifestyle must occur and the television companies must be a part of that.

MUSIC

Editor`s Choice Bringing Old-School Back

Soul music originated during the late 1950 and early 60s in the United States and was initiated by the African-American gospel music, blues music with catchy and funky rhythms. This music’s characteristics are the free body moves, hand claps, meaningful lyrics, uptight chorus and improvisational auxiliary sounds.

TOP HITS 80’s:

1. Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye 2. Sweet Love - Anita Baker 3. A House Is Not a Home - Luther Vandross 4. Purple Rain - Prince 5. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson 6. Smooth Operator - Sade

90’s: 1. End of the Road - Boyz II Men 2. Remember the Time- Michael Jackson 3. I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston 4. My, My, My - Johnny Gill 5. Sumthin’ Sumthin’ - Maxwell

By Catalina Magee Soul is an” articulated” genre of music because ever since the beginning, it had a meaningful message and a powerful impact on the audience.

The main message was of educating people about the injustices which Afro-Americans had to endure during the 60s and 70s (like” Woman of the Ghetto” by Marlena Shaw; A Change is Gonna Come - Solomon Burke ; Is It Because I’m Black Syl Johnson; I’m Talkin’ About Freedom - Syl Johnson, etc).

The power of Soul music and its great influence was consistently used for political means. This music helped reinforce ideologies and communicated them to the public.

Although the soul music changed a lot throughout the decades, it always had a significant importance in the social reality and in the American history.

The 1980’s were funky, dynamic and added electronic and disco elements to the music. The 1990’s were full of love messages and ready for many new sub-genres.

Soul music had its prime during the 60’s and the 70’s. It was something new and different; therefore many people enjoyed listening to it. In the 1960’s most of the soul music came from groups of 5 or 6 (example: Jackson 5, The Temptations) and a noticeable importance of the call and response between the soloist with the chorus. The 1970’s seemed to be more about solo artists and a single voice. (Example: Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Marvin Gaye).

Although the 1980’s seemed to be funkier and more up tempo than the previous decades, most people would say that soul music brought the sex into the music industry and the 1980’s became more popular than ever before. The popularity was not necessarily appreciated by the original soul fans. The soul music was now influenced by electro music and it replaced the raw, original and effortlessly produced music with a new style, which sent out messages of sex and having fun.

During the 1990, the soul music changed again and the new style delivered a lot of beautiful messages of unconditional love and honest relationships. It felt like going back into the meaningful soul music roots, but keeping the new era and contemporary beats and melody.

This new style was called neo-soul. Later in the 1990’s, Soul music gave life to a style called R’n’B and in the late 90’s, the soul music cooled down, due to the fact that the society found a new interest and focus in different music styles like “Hip-Hop” and” Rap”.

Over the years in music, there are similarities like love, sex, relationships, family and Spirituality.

The 80s are the times where the music industry became bigger than any other entertainment and the biggest step into a modern era.

In the late 80s, the vinyl albums and cassettes were replaced by the CDs (compact discs); the soul music was producing superstars, a lot of money and new successful sub-genres (like funk and disco).

Stevie Wonder’s hit “I just called to say I love you” (1984) received an Academy Award for Best Song from the movie “The Woman in Red”. This year was a romantic year for the soul music industry.

Aretha Franklin’s album “One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism” (1989) won the “Best Soul Gospel Performance Female”. This year was highly influenced by gospel and spiritual messages.

The early 90s was expressed by love songs, but the soul music had now a different melody.

The mid 90s developed the new sub-genre of neo-soul (which included the contemporary R’n’b and the hip hop soul). New artists came out (like Mary J. Blidge, Ashanti, Beyonce, Keisha Cole, Mariah Carey, Aaliah, Maxwell, etc) and this new genre became very successful and popular.

During the late 90s, the hip-hop soul sub-genre of the soul music gave life to a new ramification called “rap”. This new sub-genre promoted the graffiti writing, break-dancing and DJing. The differences between the “father” genre and the rap were very big and the new generations seemed to be more interested in the new style more, therefore the late 90s represent the end of the pure “Soul” music.

osh Byer is an artist based in Vancouver, Canada.

His style is called Faux Fauvism. Artworks have been featured in 100+ international publications – including interviews with 1968 Magazine, Seek.me Magazine, Positive Magazine & KALTBLUT Magazine; as well as pictorials & cover art for TCHAD Quarterly, !N Magazine, Plant Physiology Magazine, Anti- Magazine, and Scripted Magazine. Over four million visitors viewed on his Imgur galleries in 2015, with sizable fan-bases accumulating on top ranked Alexa sites such as Reddit and deviantArt. His current exhibit at the Canadian Fine Arts gallery in Toronto also headlined the “must-see” art feature in Now Magazine.

Interview by TPM writer Adriana Oancea www.byercreative.com Describe the best day of your childhood.

JB: My father had just lost his job, but I was too young to know. My mother gathered us in the living room. We sat on a blanket on the floor and cooked a meal in the fireplace. It was a picnic and a barbeque, even though we were indoors. After dinner, everyone watched “Wonder Woman” on the Zenith television.

What inspires you the most?

JB: Mrs. Rogers from the old neighborhood, who cooked food and brought it to the house after my mom passed. Please say hi to Billy for me. Ken too.

John Frizzell, a genius, my writing mentor. Everything he said was true. My dad.

Who’s your favorite visual artist and what is it about his/ her lifestyle that you prefer?

JB: Leonardo da Vinci. He dedicated his life to the pursuit of ideas. His accomplishments dragged our entire species forward. He is a hero.

Why painting? Where did this passion come from and what made you start painting?

JB: M y mother quilted. My father is a woodworker.

My brother paints. Maybe you painted too, when the world once seemed new. I stopped painting for a very long time. Then my mother passed away. I needed the world to be new again. Need is a powerful thing.

Favorite TV show and why?

JB: I really enjoyed the first season of “The Two Coreys”, and not just because it was directed by my pal Jason Bourque, who is constantly casting me in his movies, but also because of the two Coreys.

Favorite music band and why?

JB: I really enjoy the music of Trevor Guthrie, and not just because I contributed lyrics to his latest hit single “Soundwave” from Sony, but also because of the two Coreys.

Moms 24” x 36” Acrylic & ink on wood panel

In your opinion, what was the biggest benefit of being a painter?

JB: Painting is the same as “Dragon Warrior” on the 8-bit Nintendo. Every artist starts with 0 XP and some supplies they don’t know how to use. At first the graphics seem excellent, but they’ll become less impressive as the years pass. Soon, art finds itself on a flea market table. So does “Dragon Warrior”. Then they release “Dragon Warrior 2”.

Have you encountered any difficulties in your career? If yes, how did you overcome them?

JB: The complaint department is currently closed.

What was your greatest achievement?

JB: Once, I had a dog that lost her frisbee. It had been her favorite thing, and I’d thrown it into the ocean. She was supposed to run into the surf and fetch it, but didn’t. Slowly, it was getting carried out to sea. I stripped down to my boxers, swam out and retrieved the toy. It was January or February. Some drunks onshore cheered me on.

What`s something you`ve always wanted to create/ paint, but didn`t get the chance to yet?

JB: A Renaissance.

Any advice to our readers?

JB: If you’ve already eaten some coleslaw, and your brother is all like “hey, you want my coleslaw?”, don’t eat it. That’s too much coleslaw.

TelevisionTrue Facts

by Catalina Magee

The television influences viewers’ lives, attitudes, and beliefs of themselves and also of other cultures.

Between the 1940s and 2000s, the television influenced the American society and culture into thinking more about the race, gender and class and it shaped the way people view these important social issues nowadays.

Television is also discussed to have played an important role in the political process of the American culture and into determining the national election campaigns. Many TV commercials and programs have an important role into the American materialism and helped spreading the American culture around the globe.

In December 1908, the motion picture inventors and industry leaders organized the first great film

trust called the Motion Picture Patents Company, designed to bring stability to the chaotic early film years characterized by patent wars and litigation. The Edison Film Manufacturing Company, the Biograph Company, and the other Motion Picture Patents members ended their competitive feuding in favor of a cooperative system that provided industry domination. By pooling their interests, the member companies legally monopolized the business, and demanded licensing fees from all film producers, distributors, and exhibitors.

Hot Read

A January 1909 deadline was set for all companies to comply with the license. By February, unlicensed outlaws, who referred to themselves as independents protested the trust and carried on business without submitting to the Edison monopoly. In the summer of 1909 the independent movement was in full-swing, with producers and theater owners using illegal equipment and imported film stock to create their own underground market.

With the country experiencing a tremendous expansion in the number of nickelodeons, the Patents Company reacted to the independent movement by forming a strong-arm subsidiary known as the General Film Company to block the entry of non-licensed independents. With coercive tactics that have become legendary, General Film confiscated unlicensed equipment, discontinued product supply to theaters which showed unlicensed films, and effectively monopolized distribution with the acquisition of all U.S. film exchanges, except for the one owned by the independent William Fox who defied the Trust even after his license was revoked.

Important Read

Many of the early independents were resilient film exhibitors who ventured into production when they found their supply of film threatened. Carl Laemmle (Independent Motion Picture Company or IMP), Harry E. Aitken (Majestic Films), and Adolph Zukor (Famous Players) were among the pioneering independents that protested the Trust, and then laid the foundation for the Hollywood studios. Having entered the business through exhibition, they determined that they liked production better, and got out of the theater business as the nickelodeon boom ended around 1911.

As the independent outlaws flourished, the Motion Picture Patents Company was also hit with antitrust charges by the United States government. In October 1915, the courts determined that the Patents Company and its General Film division acted as a monopoly in restraint of trade, and later ordered it disintegrated. But clearly by the time the decision was handed down, the independents had already outmaneuvered the Trust.

The Edison monopoly had taken a retrogressive stance to the innovative industry reforms introduced by the outlaws.

At a time when the American independents and foreign filmmakers were creating feature length movies, the Trust clung to the familiar short-film format. Generally speaking, the Patents Trust also resisted turning their stock actors into recognizable performers, while the outlaws like Laemmle and Zukor were developing the star system into a powerful marketing tool. Furthermore, by moving their studios out west, the outlaws were not only capitalizing on California’s optimal year-round outdoor shooting conditions, they were also pioneering a division between the east-coast business headquarters and the west-coast production operation that became another trademark of the Hollywood studio system. Historians of early film have pointed out that each of these innovations originated within the ranks of the Patents Company. However the unwillingness of the Trust to adapt to the changes cleared the way for the rise of the Hollywood studio system while the Edison monopoly perished.

KnowTheseFacts THINGS TO KNOW * The initial years of the American cinema were characterized by many legal disputes that dealt with patents (for film material, etc) and thereby the control of the film industry. A trust was founded in 1909 with the Motion Picture Patents Company (MPPC) in New York, in which all patents (among them Edison’s) were bundled. The MPPC’s monopolistic position led to a flurry of lawsuits and many companies moved to Los Angeles after the 1910. * The most important characher in the initial years of the American cinema is Thomas Edison, the founder of the Edison Film Manufacturing Company and the inventor of the motion pictures. * The initial years of the American cinema were characterized by many legal disputes that dealt with patents (for film material, etc) and thereby the control of the film industry.

It is used in schools and for relaxation purposes as well. It is used for educational reasons and the online special education program allows the students to experiment small video recordings and the future of special education. * Technological progress was only one aspect in the development of moving pictures as a popular art form. Exclusive screenings of motion pictures in varieties soon yielded a professional film industry and cinema became an economic factor.

Review MOVIE

In the movie “Gia”, the main sociological concepts are: discrimination, wealth, sex, and taboos. Sociologically, in “Gia”, I also found the theme of domestic, family life and the marital problems, including the emotional and physical abuse that Gia’s parents illustrate in the beginning of the movie to be a strong sociological concept. Marriage is an institution and the dysfunctional nature of the marriage, brought Gia a lot of depression and an insecure, deviant behavior. In 1971, Gia Carangi was only eleven years old (starred by Mila Kunis). The baby Gia observed the last fight between her parents, Joseph and Kathleen Carangi and her mother leaving her without

Music The beginning of

Music engaged people since time immemorial and it followed the first ritual activities as an essential part of the medieval world, and indispensable for the Renaissance and the Baroque. Later on, in the 19th century, concert halls and opera houses served as stages for bourgeois self-expression. Music acted as a refuge for a society developing on the path of industrialization as listeners wondered at the dexterity of the virtuosi. The large caesura on the 20th century, the Second World War, also brought far-reaching changes in music. After many had experienced a world of fascism, war, and exile, they felt as if unbroken contact with the past was no longer possible.

After 1945, a pluralism of the styles prevailed, that have carried on into the present in an age of globally heard sounds.

Middle Ages and Renaissance Exactly how music was made during the Middle Ages and when the first polyphonic pieces of music emerged remain largely unknown, as many works were simply handed down orally. Singing at Christian religious services marked monastic musical life, while instrumental music was more prominent in secular folk music and dance. Independent musical forms first developed during the Renaissance. Polyphonic compositions for voices reached their high point in the 15th and the 16th centuries. The magnificent courts of Italy were the centers of music life at that time.

The Antiquated ideas shaped music theory during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Christian churches and monasteries were places of knowledge in the Middle Ages. The oldest surviving musical texts date from the 8th and 9th centuries. They describe plainchant (liturgical singing) and the notated using symbols known as neumes. They may have been used as a base for improvisation, as well as for singing in unison. The first available source concerning polyphony is the anonymous “Musica enchiriadis” (ca 850). It was written for a single vocal melody; however, others were to improvise while singing at fourth or fifth intervals. This early form of polyphony is known as organum. Polyphony specifically composed with counterpoint (some voices singing different melodies) first appears in the 12th century. The building of huge French cathedrals such as Rheims and Rouen in the early 1200s hastened the emergence of church music for two and three voices. The first names mentioned in connection with polyphony, around the middle of the 13th century, are the master composer Leoninus and the choirmaster Perotinus. Both are thought to have worked in Paris at Notre Dame Cathedral, which due to its exceptional reputation, became synonymous with music in the period 1163- 1250. During this time, the first works for three and four voices with independent melodies arose. This complex music led to the development of a lavish notation system, since improvisation was no longer a realistic possibility. Music was a highly regarded sideline or subject for theoretical study in the Middle Ages, although professional musicians were still regarded as social outsiders. The antecedents of the lute, guitar and violin arrived in Europe from the Arab world through Spain, but singing remained the most important factor in secular music. The unattainable lover was a central theme of refined courtly entertainment, which developed around 1070 in southern France. Singers such as William of Aquitaine were known as troubadours (trouveres in northern France), which came from the verb “trobar” meaning “to compose”, as they were regarded as both poets and composers. Noble lyric poets sang solo, mostly in the medieval Romance language now known as Provencal. However, they permitted accompaniment- primarily on the Vielle, harp, and lute. The German counterpart lasted from 1150 until the decline of chivalric orders in the 14th century. Medieval stories and Arab love poetry were the models of the minne (the Middle High German word for love). The most famous minnesinger was Wakther von der Vogelweide. Polyphonic masses and motets in Latin were the dominant forms of Renaissance church music. Yet the role played by music in religious life was controversial during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation and was the subject of much discussion.

Church music came under discussion with, particularly the unintelligibility of text in polyphonic music, the frequent adaptation of secular melodies for church, and increasing artistic independence. Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina is considered to have saved polyphony for religious use with his six-voiced “Missa Papae Marcelli” (1555). The Roman Catholic Church commended compositions of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina in audience with Pope Julius III. The famous composer at Rome`s papal court showed the council that his a-cappella masses could be intelligible.

The sacred music of the Renaissance (1430-1600) was expressed through church music and individual voices that were musically and rhythmically independent. Later on, during the secular music of the 16th century, the Franco-Flemish composers influenced all of Europe and each region developed its own style from the 16th century onward.

INTERVIEW WITH

‘The Desert King’ Amato

by TPM Magazine Editor

By Stacey Blanchet

What is the value of an imagination? Most would say priceless! Does life imitate art or does art imitate life?

How do you have your imagination come to life by creating something breathtaking for the world to see?

Like a hand reaching out of the magazine, he grabs you so you have to take notice of his masterpiece. He is a direct descendent of the “Alexander McQueen” school and has captured my heart and imagination as a designer, leaving me speechless. He is a master with beads and daggers. The fabric he uses adapts to his will as he takes his Orchestra to the grand finale.

Furne Amato is “The Desert King”.

Design house “Amato” is helmed by Filipino designer Furne One. Based in Dubai, it is internationally recognized. Furne’s masterpieces have graced fashionistas such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Tyra Banks and Shakira.

When we last spoke, you told me that you decided to be a designer from the time you were a child while watching your mother and grandmother get ready. Can you tell us why that act had such an impact on you? Do your remembrances effect your collections?

I guess I just saw how wearing their beautiful dresses transformed them from ordinary women into elegant queens. I’d like to think that this early memory that I have of these women’s sense of style has influenced me in creating my collections that exude confidence, power, beauty and grace.

How did you experience growing up while wanting to be a fashion designer?

To be honest, it wasn’t that difficult. As a boy, I would keep to myself and spend most of my time alone with my imagination, sketching away dresses.

As I grew older, I became a little rebellious. In time, I grew out of that phase and started focusing on my career and became a successful designer.

What in your childhood/adulthood inspired you

and still inspires you to be so creative?

you decide to pursue Ready to Wear?

Besides my mother and grandmother, as a child I would always look towards movies, magazines and MTV for inspiration. It was then that I was opened up to how fashion plays a huge part in our society.

We wanted to be able to cater to all of our followers, not just the socialites and royalties but also to the everyday woman/girl who want to try being bold and edgy. Our ready to wear line will consist of basic pieces (t-shirts, sundresses, shorts etc.) but with an Amato twist, of course! The goal is to create something that is plain and simple into something equally intricate and opulent as an Amato haute couture gown – but for a lower cost.

What is your favorite part of the process in designing? I.e. illustrations, fabric shopping, creating or business?

I find the entire creative process very fulfilling as it is exciting. From conceptualizing ideas and sketching the design, to the sewing and finishing, it still amazes me how a simple imagination can come to life. Being able to create a dress that people appreciate is the most rewarding experience for any designer.

Do you make your own fabric? If yes, why?

Where is Amato going to be in your plans 5 years from now? What is your vision and how are you making it happen?

Amato intends to grow and expand from a singular brand into a global fashion empire. It sounds ambitious, I know, but I do not doubt the possibility.

No, not yet at least. But we are planning on creating our own fabric prints that we will use for our ready to wear collections.

That little boy watching his mother and grandmother getting dressed has brought them alive When did you move to Dubai and why do you call on the runways and in the magazines around the that home for Amato? globe. He is a true testament to the importance of a nurtured imagination. What is to stop him?

Shortly after working for Josie Natori in New York, I Each season he takes us on another journey that decided to visit a friend of mine. It was around 1998 leaves us breathless. Furne is clearly soaring when I first came to the city (Dubai) and discovered among the greats! the endless possibilities it held for a young designer like me back then. Dubai was so lavish and extravagant and held so much promise of progress. Till this day, I find this city enchanting and mysterious – things that are synonymous to the vision of Amato.

What advice do you give young designers just starting out about what to watch out for in this business?

A lot of young designers think that the fashion industry is just about pretty dresses fabulous parties and being famous. They often forget about the responsibilities that go along with it. The truth is, it’s all about having a clear vision of your aesthetic, good business acumen, hard work and perseverance.

hot read Better World Couture, specializing in handcrafted products of handpicked factories in the Himalayan region, has turned the heads of designers, photographers, humanitarians and fashionistas from all walks of life. Dorothee Ingwersen, the Hamburg designer with a vision for iconic designs for the highest quality cashmere, widely acclaimed as the International Head of Marketing of the brand Olsen, with global work in Europe, Asia, South America among countless venues has recently caught the attention of Trend Prive Magazine! In June, when “Cover Creative Director” Corinna Schaub took some casual time with loved ones for her birthday at a five star luxurious hotel in North Germany, a gorgeous shop with captivating cashmere products turned her head initiating an enjoyable conversation with the owners for hours. Amidst the great personalities, amazing hospitality, and outstanding affordable purchases, some recently featured on The Red Carpet by Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence, a connection was made and fashionable friendships ensued. Ingwerson, currently working on her new collection in Nepal, will soon be representing Better World Couture at the Berlin Fashion week which includes a new BWC campaign with renowned photographer Magnus Reed! I caught up with her for an interview with insights on her magnificent collections and industry perspectives!

Better World Couture The green luxury brand interview with Dorothee Ingwersen

By TPM Fashion Editor Joshua Seibert “The Cashmere, also known as the “jewel” of the textile raw materials used is very gentle and obtained and processed in accordance with the principles of sustainability and Women Empowerment.”

“In a time where the environmental consciousness of the global consumer is rapidly growing and the commitment to an ethical production process is almost a prerequisite for guilt-free shopping, the new green luxury brand Better World Couture sets new standards in the most distinguished way.” www.betterworldcouture.com Better World Couture is an incredibly appealing and iconic name, how exactly did you come about choosing it?

The name just came to me about two years ago. I grew up a free spirit and always had this idealistic vision of creating products in a way which makes sure all of the components are being treated equally. I love the direct appeal, go straight to the message.

We are at the point where the world will turn – either for the better, or for worse.

There is simply a lot more joy and happiness involved when you live in a “Better World.”

The Himalayan region is priceless for the finest texture cashmere in the industry.

What about your products sets you apart from the rest?

I don´t make fashion. I have this longing for iconic styles which you will love forever. I look for traditional patterns, everlasting silhouettes, colors which make you sexy, radiant

and confident.

The first Better World Couture collection comprises sexy, yet elegantly designed Catsuits and evening dresses inspired by the legendary US Designer Halston and by iconic images created by the famous paparazzi photographer Ron Galella. Would you describe your experience with Halston and Galella?

I love the feeling, the mood, the distinguished, cool, sexy confidence combined with understatement which Halston expresses in his designs.

In the rawness of his pictures Galella happens to capture the humanity behind the public persona of each celebrity.

Ingwersen is a well-known figure in the German Fashion industry. Did you find it difficult branching out with your own individualistic vision?

In a way it was easier than expected, because I always had that individualistic vision inside of me and deep inside I knew that when the time was right I would race to the occasion and just go for it and that’s exactly what I am doing right now.

In 2011 your `Double Happiness` collection was awarded the Canadian sustainability award. What was it like to have this impactful accomplishment?

It felt good to see that my way of developing fashion was recognized and appreciated by an International panel. It was a great

campaign from your others?

The next campaign is about “We Are All One”. I have ambassadors all over the world who want to support my collection. Magnus Reed will shoot them. It will be a very classy black and white campaign.

encouragement to move on even faster!

Your latest article in International Polo Magazine was fantastic. How did this come about?

The International Polo Magazine targets a very sophisticated high end clientele which is used for only the very best in everything. That´s why the brand caught their attention, I guess.

Recently you’ve been spending time in Nepal working on your collections.

Would you tell our readers about this experience?

The Nepalese people are incredibly strong and courageous. I have the greatest respect for how they handle this situation, still always looking at the positive and doing so with a smile. The economy has run down since the earthquake so my best option to help right now is to continue the business even if there are some obstacles to overcome by the local manufacturers. They were afraid of losing all their business and that would be the worst that could happen for all the people there.

I went with my friends to a village which was totally destroyed. We helped to bring up tents, food and medicine.

I talked to the teenagers, about never giving up on their dreams and told them they can always ask me for help or advice. The next collection is dedicated to the spirit of never giving up I also experienced an earthquake myself two nights ago and it was very scary.

As Berlin fashion week is approaching are you ecstatic about your new campaign? What is different about this

Magnus Reed is an incredible world known photographer! Anybody who’s anybody has heard of his work. Please tell us your thoughts about the man and what you hope to accomplish after fashion week!

Magnus Reed has the magic eye to catch the right moment. It is a rare gift.

He has the ability to capture the deepest sense of every moment. I admire his work very much and I´m happy that he is so interested in working with me. He is a very idealistic person as well.

Great businesses care about their impacts on the ones around them.

Why do you feel being environmentally conscious is important in this industry and the world?

It is important for every industry and for every step you personally do. You don´t have to be perfect, just give your best to be a little better every day.

From your website, “A women empowerment quota of at least 50 percent is in place at all the producing partners, and a strict `No Child Labour` rule is implemented too”. Would you tell us more about your perspective on Women Empowerment, Child Labor and how Better World Couture stands above the rest with these great values?

It is statistically proven that women invest their salary in their children`s education and well-being and that in turn is a future investment in a better world.

Tell us more about your present and future goals for Better World Couture.

I plan to keep on going and keep on growing worldwide. Keep on reaching

the conscious community of people who are aware of their choices and choose products that were made in a ethical way. Invest in the infrastructure and the production online for our local manufacturers.

Once this is achieved, getting to the next level and expand to first the European and then the American Market.

Is there anything you would personally like to share with our readers this issue We are all one.

Thank you for your precious time!

In closing, would you tell our readers about what the rest of your year looks like? Where should we expect to see you next?

In September the collection will be sold in exclusive “Private Showrooms” and at Art Events.

If some of your distinguished readers are interested in creating an exclusive “Private Showroom” for Better World Couture, I´m open to talk about it. www.betterworldcouture.com We’ll be keeping an eye out for the amazing organization that is “Better World Couture”. .

THE MUST-READ

5 Eyeliner Tips and Tricks Every Woman

Must Know!

By TPM senior beauty editor

Erin Schweinsberg

www.facebook.com/ erinschweinsbergmakeupartistry

1.

A popular technique called “tightlining” can enhance your eyeliner to give a darker, more dramatic look! “Tightlining” is when you use your eyeliner pencil to line the UPPER water lash line, a small adjustment to your usual eyeliner routine that makes a big difference!

Use this technique to make a bold eyeliner statement; it will also make your lashes appear thicker and fuller!

2.

Use a beige or nude eyeliner on the bottom water lash line to make your eyes appear bigger! This trick also helps you look more awake, and it works perfectly for those wanting a more natural, clean makeup look.

ALL IMAGES CREDITED TO ERIN SCHWEINSBERG.

3.

Afraid of having uneven winged liquid liner? This trick may help you become more confident when applying it! Pencil eyeliner is more forgiving and easier to control, yet, most of us desire the sleek look of liquid eye liner. My tip here is to incorporate the two. First, apply the pencil eye liner to your eye lid, once you’re satisfied with the eyeliner shape and wings, trace it with your liquid liner to achieve those sharp, clean, straight wings you’ve been wanting!

4.

Does your eyeliner wear off quickly throughout the day? Here’s a tip to help it stay a little longer! Not only can you wear an eyeshadow primer, but you can also set your eyeliner pencil with a matching eyeshadow

powder on top! Powders naturally help to set makeup, so this technique will increase the life of your eyeliner, whilst also making the color more intense. First apply your eyeliner pencil to your eyelid, then, using the matching shade of eyeshadow, gently sweep the eyeshadow powder across the pencil liner to set it!

5.

Create your own custom eyeliner by using a wet eyeliner brush and an eyeshadow!

Use the wet brush to sweep the eyeshadow on like a liner, wetting the brush will darken the pigments so that the eyeshadow color will appear more like a liner than an eyeshadow.

An easy way to create a new eyeliner look in seconds!

LUSH COSMETICS

By TPM Senior Accessories Editor Adrielyn Christi Cosmetics and skincare are a dime a dozen, we have so many products thrown in our face, especially when it comes to bath and body. To be honest with you, I have always been a shower gel and body lotion fanatic.

I don’t know what it is, I think it has something to do with the scents or maybe just the fact that there are just so many, I want to try them all. But, what I can tell you is that I have always been in love with LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics since I can remember. There are a handful of reasons why and let me start with the scents. The scents are phenomenal, the moment you walk anywhere near one of their many locations, you can’t help but know you’re at LUSH. Since the moment of my very first visits into this menagerie of skin care products store, I have been enchanted by the colors and the scents. Okay, not just by those, but everything that the company stands for. Since 1970 and what started in Poole England, when Mark Constantine

and Liz Weir decided to branch out and start their own business selling natural hair and beauty products, they knew they wanted to create products that contained nothing but fresh, natural ingredients for the hair and skin. They devoted all of their time and money into creating and using fresh fruits and vegetables to make their handmade products. After Canadians Mark and Karen Wolverton came across this sweet smelling and colorful shop in England, they knew right away they wanted to bring it to North America.

Since 1996 LUSH Cosmetics has been a staple for fresh cosmetics for both women and men. Not only is LUSH Cosmetics a fresh company, but donates 100% of their product Charity Pot, a hand and body lotion to environmental, humanitarian and animal rights charities. To help save environmentally by foregoing the packaging and preservatives, they make product in solid form, source 100% recycled pots and bottles, and in 2008, made the switch to

100% PCR bottles. The company continues to stay hard at work for cruelty-free scientific research, by awarding an annual £250,000 prize fund to scientists, campaigners and lobbyists, training specialists and young researchers that work to replace animal testing with methods that are both more humane and more effective. All of this is the reason why LUSH Cosmetics should be on everyone’s radar and why we should all switch to their products whenever necessary. The brand was so kind in gifting me several of their products try and I must say, I’m hooked even more. If you’re looking for a body buffer with a soap, the Sandstone, which is a mixture of sand and tanning oil, plus coriander

and gardenia oils which tone and brighten to make your skin soft.

I liked how it made my elbows smooth and even, and especially my heels of my feet. So you have the convenience of an exfoliator, but yet soap in one. It’s perfect! Then I tried “Let the Good Times Roll” face and body cleanser. The smell on this one is so sweet; it makes you want to eat it! But what makes it special is that it’s an exfoliator as well, but yet leaves your skin soft and smooth. I tried this one in the shower and the scent lasted all day, which sometimes is rare from my experience from shower products. So basically, you can’t go wrong with any of LUSH Cosmetics products, it’s a match made in Heaven.

By TPM Team

1. What would you rather do this weekend?

A

Stay home and relax, watch some TV and enjoy some munchies.

B

C

Go out to an art show to mingle and enjoy some great art.

Only leave your studio to get food and water, forget about sleep.

2. Who do you choose to spend most of your time with?

B

C

Whomever can hang out. I get lonely and bored.

Either other artists in my genre or making new art connections.

Me. I don’t have time to waste on other people.

3. Regardless of which genre of art you focus on, there are several diffe-

rent ways that an artist conducts themselves, and there is no right or wrong way to be an artist. When you create your art, what drives you?

A

B

C

Sometimes I’ll be bored of everything else and I’ll make something to keep me busy.

If I don’t make art, I’ll explode!

I set time aside on a regular basis to work on a project, regardless of whether or not I feel inspired.

A

B

C

I go through phases, but mostly a few of my favorite artists.

All of my artistic heroes were crazy but created a new style.

I aspire to be like the great masters.

5. How often do you work on your craft?

A

B

C

3 days a week, minimum.

Every month, sometimes multiple times per month.

I can’t sleep unless I work on it everyday.

6. How long does it take you to finish a project?

I always have several art projects in the works and I’ll rotate them for many moons.

B A truly good work of art should be obsessed over for years.

6 to 14 POINTS

C As long as it takes until it’s done right. Usually not more than a month.

You are obsessed. Don’t worry though, that makes for a great artist. If you get a little sunshine then maybe you won’t cut your ear off. When it comes with music, you understand it better than most people. Whilst some people just use an instrument as a noisemaker, you see it as an extension of your emotions. When you create, you move everyone with your art. You`re home around any forms of art.Your emotions are fragile and prone to change without warning, something which comes out in your art.

0 to 5 POINTS Social Artist

You are a social artist. According to your friends you are talented but if you want to be a professional artist someday than it is time for you to settle down and focus on building up your skills and your portfolio.

Your friends will be there when you need a break but right now they are just holding you back. You believe that the world is in a constant state of flux and moments in time must be captured before they are gone forever. Your respect for preserving memories shows through in your art.

scorings: 1 a-3 b-3 c-3 2 a-1 b-1 c-1 3 a-5 b-0 c-0 4 a-5 b-0 c-0 5 a-5 b-0 c-0 6. a-0 b-5 c-0

A

You are focused at a professional level.

The only thing you need to do is to keep up the great work! You may also benefit from loosening up once in a while and creating art just for pleasure’s sake, not everything needs to be perfect.

You believe that the world is in a constant state of flux and moments in time must be captured before they are gone forever. Your respect for preserving memories shows through in your art.

True Artist

Editorial by Michal Grzyb

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Albert Einstein It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done. Vincent van Gogh Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.

Chuck Klosterman Life doesn’t imitate art, it imitates bad television. Woody Allen A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Creativity takes courage. Henri Matisse One eye sees, the other feels. Paul Klee Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. Edgar Degas

My biggest pet peeve is: _____________________ I feel sexiest when: a. Naked b. With red lips c. In a skintight dress d. In boxers e. Other: _____________ The perfect date is: ____ _____________________

It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure. Albert Einstein When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. Ansel Adams There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people. Vincent van Gogh The human body is the best work of art. Jess C. Scott A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know. Diane Arbus Art without emotion its like chocolate cake without sugar. It makes you gag. Laurie Halse Anderson, Speak
