imagination stage x ethnick media pt II

2011-04-22T00:19:00.011-04:00

another ethnick media presentation...
The Day John Henry Came to School
[Now Playing @ Imagination Stage - Bethesda, MD]
original soundtrack produced/designed/arranged
by nick tha 1da for ethnick media

This witty and insightful contemporary comedy contrasts
the tech savvy 5th grader Johnny Henry
with his famous, hammer-wielding ancestor.
Johnny’s class gets a visit from John Henry and discovers
the value of low-tech accomplishments & family

[recommended ages 7+]
[tickets]

imaginationstage.org

when creating the music for this family theater production
my thoughts were harmonica/drum break(s)
to represent John Henry &
8-bit video game sounds to represent his grandson...
that meant playing alot of MegaMan II as research-1UP!

& producing "Dreams" on Little Brother's GETBACK LP

Rashid Hadee is featured on my upcoming Debut LP

double threat(s)to hiphop[tha emcee/producer combo]

<a href="http://nicktha1da.bandcamp.com/track/ep1-09-til-infinity">ep1:09' til Infinity by nick tha 1da</a>

life is full of cycles...
a handful of producers[including myself] & audiophiles
know the importance of good music & that means being timeless

Too many times we focus on the new product
but not the inspiration behind de boards...
The artist(s) we choose to sample & listen to were even in a similar position
[at one point]which is why I find it hard to understand some of their views on modern music

On the otha spectrum- I don't understand why my peers/artist(s)
take the time to acknowledge music history & all the ill
compositions/creativity which flourished before us-without breaking the "konami"code
l.mao

With Loop Diggin 101 in 2003 - I tried to bridge that gap...
I became a Vinyl Record Librarian for University of MD
with the intention of informing myself & others... & then...there were $1 Bins
That journey never stopped & and after the thousandseth LP[yes thousandeth]
along w/ DJ Sets/Record Fairs/World Diggin/9th Wonder Sample Mixes
(peace to FSNS & Prolific)

diggin in a crate near you...not like that-in NYC:footage soon!

2010-02-04T01:34:00.004-05:00

Take four producers - a couple of known veterans and a few undiscovered talents, put them in front of a party and tell them to play their beats - its that simple. What separates B.L.A.P. from similar events is its casual nature. There is no stage and patrons are encouraged to dance. For the party goer unaware of the scene it becomes a new experience. For the industry pro, the laid back atmosphere provides a more comfortable arena to network & find their next hit producer.

Created by Illmind, the producer for artists like 50 Cent, Redman, & The Jabbawockeez (ABDC's 1st season champs) who knows who will show up for this event series. Soon enough, everyone will know at B.L.A.P. - the MPC becomes the turntable.
