video: Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen releases groundbreaking fine art collection

noreply@blogger.com (DUNNDEAL) — Tue, 08 May 2012 23:45:00 +0000

available exclusively at RickAllenArt.com

In music, few tales stand as tall as that of Rick Allen, who rebounded from every drummer’s worst nightmare – the loss of an arm – to multi-platinum success with Def Leppard to the tune of 100 million-plus records sold. Now, Allen's journey beyond the conventional limits of music goes one step further into the fine art world with the release of "Electric Hand: Rhythm + Change", a highly limited series of canvases created using cutting-edge technology that turns Allen's every move behind the drumkit into a splash of color, resulting in a series of one-of-a-kind pieces that literally turn sound visual.

The living legend known to his millions of fans worldwide as 'the Thunder God' was 21 years old when a 1984 car accident left him with one arm. His return to drumming three years later with Def Leppard's 20-million selling album Hysteria is a testament to Allen's talent, passion and perseverance. One of music's foremost philanthropists, he and his wife, musician Lauren Monroe, founded the Raven Drum Foundation, its mission to serve, educate and empower veterans and people in crisis.

“The collection reveals something that up until recently I didn't even know existed, presenting sound into light," says Allen of the "Drums" series, one of several innovative projects from Scenefour (scenefour.com), the art collective specializing in the conceptual and design of collaborative artwork with musical icons. The RZA of Wu-Tang Clan, Bootsy Collins of Parliament/James Brown fame, Chuck D of Public Enemy and TLC are just a handful of Scenefour's collaborators, whose work can be seen in their 2011 book Come Together. "Electric Hand" is the newest addition to the "Art Of Drums" series, which also boasts collections from Guns N Roses drummer Matt Sorum and Jane's Addictionstickman Stephen Perkins. "Hand" is available exclusively at RickAllenArt.com.

Atlanta emcee Jay Qwest proudly presents the the J. Barnard-directed music video for "Offiseer", the lead single from his forthcoming album Whiskey & Gun Powder, dropping April 24 on Elevated Press Records. "Offiseer" features Detroit-bred emcee Boog Brown (who released Brown Study in 2010 on Mello Music Group) and Methuzulah (picked by 50 Cent and Common as one of Youtube's Top 20 Indie Artists), all ATL residents. Also residing in Atlanta, Indiana-bred producer Illastrate produced "Offiseer", adding to a list of credits that includes J-Live and Treach from Naughty By Nature. "The song 'Offiseer' was written from personal experience and frustration dealing with police in Atlanta" Explains Jay. "After writing it, I realized how the song became like my own version of 'Sound of da Police' by KRS-One. So with that in mind, I wanted to pay homage to that song too, mixing the words 'officer' with 'overseer' making the title 'Offiseer'. It is an unfortunate coincidence how this song relates to the recent shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, as well as so many other circumstances in this country concerning people of color and law enforcement. I think it's tragic that we can't always trust the police to protect us."

HD sound, a fully adjustable 10-band EQ, listening device presets, volume normalization, Airplay and iTunes Match support, advanced drilldown search, special driving mode and DJ-style transitions are also included. MyTunes Pro HD for iPad and MyTunes Pro for iPod and iPhone apps can be downloaded FREE from the iTunes® App Store.

To commemorate the launch of MyTunes Pro for iPhone and MyTunes Pro HD for iPad, SRS is giving people who have downloaded either version of the app a chance to win “The Ultimate Paid Dues Festival Experience,” which includes an all expenses paid trip for two to Los Angeles, CA to hang out backstage with Murs at the Paid Dues Festival, plus side-stage access to an artist performance of their choice.

Singer-songwriter-pianist Angelina Roz was born into a musical family in Moscow, in then communist Soviet Union. After they fled to working-class East London,11-year-old Angelina, language barrier or not, was showcasing her talents onstage nearly nightly alongside her family. By her twenties, her completely self-produced songs had clocked a million Myspace hits and she was on a plane to meet interested A&Rs in New York City at the insistence of her terminally ill mother, who passed away a week later. Emotionally strained and disheartened, it left Angelina all but homeless in NYC, the city she credits with igniting the creative burst that has resulted in her forthcoming EP The Carnival And The Tears. Roz describes The Carnival as “summer London Town sound” and The Tears as a heartfelt account of her rollercoaster year. Roz is a resident at BBC 3’s Late Junction Max Reinhardt live night Radio Gagarin show.
