Meet Your Maker
— An Asylum Artists production
— In the area of Toronto, Canada, Joe Yanuziello and others make hand-built guitars and other stringed instruments for those artistically imaginative instrumentalists who refine their performances with subtleties in chordal progressions concurring with suitable touches on the strings.
FROM YOUTUBE NOTES. OMNIA’s music is all acoustic, and is an artful mix of the deep earthy tones of didgeridoo expert Luka Aubri-Krieger (East-Indies), the virtuoso harp, hurdy-gurdy and bodhran playing of Jennifer Evans-van der Harten (Holland), the unmistakable “DADGAD” guitar-groove of Joe Hennon (Ireland) and the flutes, bouzouki, drums, and ironic dialogue of front man Steve “Sic” Evans-van der Harten (England). All four band members sing in English, Gaelic, Breton, Latin, Finnish, German, Flemish and Hindi.
Since re-forming the band in 2002, OMNIA has become one of the pioneers of the “PaganFolk” movement and has harvested international acclaim on many Gothic, Pagan, Folk, Medieval and Fantasy festivals throughout Europe. OMNIA is a completely self-managed independent and free-spirited band which has survived and prospered in the harsh music business.

Lil Buck and Yo-Yo Ma
YOUTUBE NOTES. The other day, I was lucky enough to be at an event to bring the arts back into schools and got to see an amazing collaboration between Yo-Yo Ma and a young dancer in LA, Lil Buck. Someone who knows Yo-Yo Ma had seen Lil Buck on YouTube and put them together. The dancing is Lil Buck's own creation and unlike anything I've seen. Hope you enjoy.

Rabbit Proof Fence | Documentary, making of
— forced removal scene: stealing the girls from their mom
FROM YOUTUBE NOTES. Here’s a description of the film from IMDB. “This is the true story of Molly Craig, a young black Australian girl who leads her younger sister and cousin in an escape from an official government camp, set up [probably begun in the early 1930’s] as part of an official government policy to train them as domestic workers and integrate them into white society. With grit and determination Molly guides the girls on an epic journey, one step ahead of the authorities, over 1,500 miles of Australia’s outback in search of the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the continent and will lead them home. These three girls are part of what is referred to today as the ‘Stolen Generations’.”
