BELGIUM part two

Day 2 in Belgium. After I had 4 slices of toast covered with nutella chocolate, cornflakes, a hot chocolate, a slice of cheese and orange juice (the hostel routine), I headed for the central station to buy my ticket to Bruges, the so-called world heritage city.
The ticket was not too expensive, being 13,80 for a round trip. The lady at the counter told me it was 25 if it was a weekday. Guess I was lucky.



When I arrived in Bruges, I was finally able to understand what the guide book meant by "Bruges is a museum, just without a roof". Each building was like an anarchist obedient to the common dress code - it's all different, but it matches, somehow.
If you come to Bruges, you don't need a color wheel to find which color matches with which.
It's all there. It might actually be just as helpful, if not more, than an university art text book.





Also known as the "Venice of the North", the city is a "Water City" with canals linking various parts of the city. As I am on a budget trip, I had to give up on the boat tours around the city, but it was worth the time just to stop and look at the boats gliding through the waters.
To be honest, the feeling was like taking a stroll in Disney Land. When I entered the Markt (also known as the Market Square), I was welcomed by an organ playing a Christmas tune, and some other ones I'm not too familiar with. It's an experience you can't miss.





After a good walk around the city, I dropped in at a cafe, and grabbed myself a Jupiler beer, and a stick with meat... I can't recall what the name was, but it was similar to a shish-kebab.
I was only hoping to read through a Haruki Murakami novel that I purchased in London, but it turns out that the waitress was a hopeless old lady sick of her job.
She started nagging at me (indirectly.. as I can't really understand French - "je ne comprends pas!") just for switching seats closer to the window so I got upset and just left.



Since my stomach lacked the satisfaction it needed, I dropped by at Carrefour (a supermarket chain that originated in France) to buy a baguette and dip. It was the way to go when you live the life of a backpacker. I sat on the stairs in the station and filled up my hollow and lonely stomach.
What I realized was that even though London sells the same kind of deal.. the bread dips I mean, it was nowhere as good as the ones sold in other European countries. If you go outside the UK, don't buy sandwiches, buy a bread and dip!



After heading back to Brussels, I walked around to find a cheap room that was equivalent or less than the one I stayed at last night, but wasn't fortunate enough to find any that would meet my needs.
My solution was simple - forget the bed, go to the pub.
I went to Celtica again, and drank the following:

-Orval
-Duvel
-Chimay-Bleu
-Tourtel (non alcoholic beer which I would not buy, if I had known in the first place!)
-Maes
-Blanches de Bruges

The beers at Celtica are probably the cheapest in the city, as each bottle is 2 euros during the Happy Hour, which lasts from noon to midnight. Maes and Blanche de Bruges on the other hand are only one euro... crazy.
After tasting all these beers, I came to the conclusion that Leffe is my favorite Belgian beer(this, I had in London...). Jupiler also matched my taste buds quite well and I also discovered that I like Abbey-type beer too.



After staying in the pub until 4 am in the morning, I walked around the sleeping city. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but March is still not a good time to sleep on a bench as the air is still freezing cold... I went to the station and slept on the bench for a while until the security told me, nicely, to get out.
With nowhere to go and nothing to eat but a pack of Belgian waffles I bought at Carrefour, I was walking aimlessly for a few hours until I saw a policeman

and a girl

lying dead (if not sleeping)

in the middle of the road.

I heard a cry screaming something like "help" and there were several other police cars racing to the scene, but I was in no mood to watch and stare at someone's misfortune.
It's not like there's anything I can do anyway, and most of all, I wasn't really in the mood to go to the police station to have my passport reviewed.



The night was long, and the day to follow was long as well. I stayed at a Paris-style cafe for the morning to read through "Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman", and then I went to several grocery stores to buy my breakfast and lunch. My nap time was at McDonalds, and the remaining time before my coach back to London was at the bench in the central station, drinking Gordon Finest Gold Beer. 10% alcohol for beer was quite amazing, and it was certainly a good way to end the day and to look at my last sunset in Brussels.





It was 5am on Tuesday, when I was back in London. After a quick shower, I started work again from 9:30am like I usually would, and found myself to be not so tired as I had thought to be, despite the sleepless days in Belgium (which was kind of unavoidable).

It wasn't until two days later my body started aching like there was no tomorrow. They say it's a sign of aging when you start to feel the pain two days after harsh activity, so yes, I guess I can't really pull off another one of these crazy travels for a while.
UNTIL I GO TO ITALY!

BELGIUM part one

To escape the exhausting regular day routines, and the harsh realities of life, I decided to spend my weekend in Belgium! The trip took a total of 10 hours, 2 of which was on the ferry. Fortunately, the ticket came by cheap, with the cost being only 41 pounds (that's around $65 CDN) for a round trip.
Why Belgium you ask? Simple. Chocolate and beer.



When I arrived in Brussels, the central city so they say, it was only 4am in the morning.
With little to do, and stores all closed, I had nowhere to go.
After a few minutes of aimless wandering, I finally found my way to the Grand Place, one of the biggest tourist attractions in Brussels.
Since the city was still lost in utter silence, I decided to stop by at a fast food chain that looked almost identical to McDonalds, to kill some time.



After a good two hours or so munching on salt-free french fries and stuffing my mouth with a hamburger loaded with mustard instead of ketchup, the city finally woke up from its eternal sleep.
I took a stroll around the Grand Place, went to see the Manneken Pis, and went into random chocolate shops to drool over the showcases loaded with one of the greatest inventions by mankind - chocolate.



On a side note, there were three limitations that I have decided to put on myself while I was in Belgium:
1) don't pre-book any hostels
2) no internet while in Belgium
3) turn off cellphone during the trip

These were the limitations I had thought of, to fully enjoy everything that Belgium had to offer (well at least most of it).
It's not that difficult when you think of it, I mean all backpackers do it... but it's not easy when you're an internet junkie....



On my first day in Brussels, I was able to visit a total of three museums: the chocolate museum, the beer museum, and lastly the music instrument museum.
I had high hopes for the chocolate and the beer, but these turned out to be the biggest disappointments in Daizo history. The beer museum was not a museum at all, just a room with a TV playing back a low budget video on how to make beer; the chocolate museum was a waste of time: just a small house with exhibitions that matched the quality of a high school student research project.



On the other hand, the instrument museum was one of the biggest excitements I've ever had since I've come to Europe. Known to house the most instruments in the world, every corner in the museum was a delight and surprise. As a matter of fact, the pianos I saw in the museum were more than just an instrument, they were works of art!!





What was innovative about the museum was that all the visitors would receive a headset that allows you to listen to how the instrument sounds, when you stand in front of it.
Just so that music geeks aren't the only ones being pleased, you can hear them being either orchestrated or in the form of an ensemble (I believe the instruments in the ensemble are limited to the ones you see in front of you... correct me if I am wrong).





Aside from all the traditional and classical instruments, they also had a floor dedicated to modern instruments (THE Theremin included) but this portion wasn't as impressive as the rest.
Also English wasn't being displayed on the signs so you had to use a guide provided in the museum to comprehend what it said.
Nonetheless, more than half the instruments in the museum were ones I've never seen before.... if this doesn't excite a musician, what would?

By the way, is it just me or am I the only one that didn't know about viols...



After a lengthy 3 hours of educating myself on how unknowledgable I was (uh... is this even a word?), I went to a pub by the name of Celtica to grab myself a beer.
I spent my night at a hostel which I found for a rate of 19 euros per night... (which is not too bad for a 8 person bed room in Belgium) and then I called it a day.



Who would have imagined that I would spend the next day with no bed, get lost in the middle of Bruges (Traveler's Choice Destinations 2010 Winner) and run into a potential crime scene involving a girl lying dead (or partially?) in the middle of the road? Continued to part two...

UBC JA's 6.N'Roll Bandshow @ Tom Lee Music Hall

Hihi!! Gigi's here!
On March 4th, 2011 Gigi went to a gig at Vancouver downtown Tom Lee Music Hall hosted by UBC JA. 6 bands were playing in this rocking event, and many of them had performed at EMP's gigs over the years. It's was a good show, and it was good to see all the local musicians, friends, fans, and photographers, it was like a big reunion. Gigi asked to get off work early just for this event, was expecting a relaxing time just being an audience(and photographer, u all know me, I like taking photos). End up Gigi got busy working backstage on makeup and hair.... Gigi likes to do makeup and hair , so it was totally cool, but Gigi didn't bring ANY professional makeup and hair tools.... working with just the personal makeup items from my purse was difficult... note to self: from now on, always bring my makeup kit to gigs, EMP gigs, or not EMP gigs. LOL
Congratulations to UBC JA on this successful event. Good jobs to all the bands. Hopefully to see u all again soon in the near future.

xoxo
Gigi

Possible SCAMS aim at musicians and artists in BC

It is senseless for some people to trick passionate musicians and artists for money and benefits. Unfortunately I regret I recently had a close personal experience of almost being scammed. As Epic Marble Project's event planner, I would like to discuss this to our readers and hopefully this would help you to be careful of suspicious situations and beware of your rights as a performer.

My band LOCUS was contacted by a charity group in BC to perform and help raise money for a recent construction project that would save lives in the future. The performance was scheduled in a well-known Richmond public centre on a weekend. My band believe in giving back to our society with what we do best, and therefore has agreed to fill out an application to perform for the show. Later we were asked to "pay" $120 donation for each performer in our group before a deadline, or else we won't get a chance to be on stage.

First of all, as a musician performer, we have in the past "donated" our talent, passion and personal free time for charity performances. Secondly, performers are usually "paid" to perform, not "paying" to perform. Performing for free for charity shows already means you have donated your performance fees towards the charity event. Third of all, the meaning of "donation" is to "give what one's capable", and therefore must have absolutely no fixed rates of payment of donation.

So what happened to my band???

We refused to pay the amount required and did not perform.

Now, the interesting thing was, just 2 days before the show, another staff from the organization called me and thanked us for participating in the show, and asked me when we will be performing so she can come and watch. I told her we have no money to pay for the standard performance fee "donation" so we are skipping out on this show. She was shocked and told me she did not know anything about the fixed rate of donation issue.

I did not go watch that show the day because I was busy.

I don't know if anyone performed, and I don't know if they "paid" anything.

If you have any questions about any suspicious show details, it is always a good thing to consult someone in the industry, or feel free to email us.

Life in Europe

This is Daizo and I am currently in Paris, France.
To refresh my mind and to explore different possibilities as a creator, I have decided to relocate to England for a while, and before I settle down, I have decided to travel around Europe for a few months.

It was a tough decision for me. It has only been two years since the foundation of epic marble project, and it was quite recently that the team has expanded so significantly.
With the new Epic Marble Radio project, and other secret projects currently under process, the burden on the team has grown remarkably.
To be honest, I feared that people will think that I am running away from my obligations, but that is not true. I feel that I need to have a greater understanding of the world around me, and the time is now.
Knowledge is important but nothing can beat experience... and although it has only been 5 days, I can feel that this trip will definitely change something within me.





So far, I have visited Barcelona, Spain and Paris, France. The art and culture of these two cities are completely different from that of Vancouver.
The language barrier, the culture shock, the different transit systems, and the weight of my backpack are all new to me, but everything that these two countries has to offer are unique and inspiring.
Gaudi's Sagrada Familia have shown me the potential of architecture, and Montmartre in France has showed me the amount of influence a city can have on many famous artists.





In Barcelona, I was stopped by a man who identified himself as a police. While I was walking around the city, a man walked up to me asking me the directions. Even though I told him I didn't know, he kept coming after me, and it was only a few minutes after when another man came up to me with a policeman's notebook. He told me he was the police and that he was doing an investigation. After asking for my passport, he told me to show him my wallet. He said he was suspicious that I was having a trade of some sort - most likely drugs. However, it was unnatural for the police to ask me for the content of my wallet so I told him that I can show him my wallet if it is at the police station. Suddenly, both the guy asking me the directions and the one who claimed himself to be an officer started running away. It then made sense that both of them were working as a team.





Like there are horror stories, there are equal amounts of good news in Europe.
Although euros and pounds are stronger than the Canadian dollar, beer can be found for as cheap as one euro, and a lot of the dairy products are just as cheap.
Food is different, but the baguette sandwiches in France and the Tapas in Spain are delicious!
Just as much as I am learning, I am enjoying my vacation.
I will write about anything new that comes up here in Europe, and hopefully it will lead to the next big project lined up for the coming years.

I am currently writing a blog in Japanese at http://ameblo.jp/marblesounds, and will be writing some entries here every once in a while so please check back often!

Cheers,

DAIZO

EMP Staff Interview Series Part 2: Anthony Au - Videographer

Today for our interview, we have welcomed videographer of Epic Marble Radio, Anthony Au, to find out what really got him into filming the new youtube series. Despite his professional and ambitious approach to his projects, Anthony was surprisingly quite casual and very easy to talk to. With his friendly aura, we had a very enjoyable time sitting with him and hearing his opinions on the activities of Epic Marble Project, and his vision on the media itself.



Tell us how you joined Epic Marble Project -

It was through a friend "Kaila", who she is quite devoted to this project in promoting some local
music groups. And I found that it is so amazing to work with a group of experts who has the same goal and passion, all we are working voluntarily, the spirit is there! So, I'm excited to be part of the team.

I'm quite impressed with the process from our initial shooting, I believed we could be running more smoothly after a few episodes.

Tell us about yourself -

My name is Anthony Au. I graduated from Emily Carr majored in photography. Video production is my latest hobby. Prior to that, I had been a press photographer for over 15 years and have started my photographic art exhibitions since 2006. Website: www.pbase.com/tonyau
Exploration of human interest, people and environment are my photographic themes. In some
cases of working in photographic art, carrying tons of equipment to travel is not a fun hobby,
but will enjoy the result after capturing the best shot for my collection.

I respect friendly people with a big heart..!

Music: I am a hardcore fan of the classical heavy and progressive rock groups like; Yes, Pink Floyd,
Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple etc. But for now, don’t have any particular type, whatever any music
could make me flow, even Susan Boyd or Tiesto etc!

Movie: 2012, Inception, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Kung fu Hustle etc. Visual effects,
actions and black comedies are the type that I like, or anything also from Quentin Tarantino, Stephen Chow and John Woo, they are my all time favorite directors.

Tell us about your position and the projects you were involved in (within / out of EMP) -

I am an event videographer and photographer, event for portraits, weddings and video productions
for the show in theatre. I have a teammate in video, Michael, he helps me in other projects and
of coz for EMP. We have so much hard work during the shooting and editing. Hope that we
could have more helps in the coming episodes. My concept, for the EMR, I like to see more lively
and cheerful scenes as well as in acting, sometimes acting needed to be improvised, the acting
part is crucial.

What is your goal as Videographer in EMP?

My goal, I would really like to learn shooting in 3D and also looking for a chance shooting a short
film production in the future.

Requests for future projects in the team -

Everything should be working out fine after a few shooting, only have to be more in focus to time
the finish up for the set. A bit over-run might cause a big problem in uploading the footage.
I am really having fun and a good time while working with all the EMP’s teammates.

Wishing Epic Marble Radio will be successful and will be the greatest hit on Youtube and in publicity.


Thank you for your time Anthony, and we look forward to future episodes of EMR!

Post Sonic Breeze

August 8, 2010. This is the one day I will never forget for many coming years in my life.

To be honest, hosting a bandshow in Vancouver is not easy. Unlike how it is in Asia or Europe, there are absolutely no venues that are readily equipped with the appropriate sound equipment, and although it has been growing incredibly in the past few years, very few people are willing to commit to the price of admission unless they are there for a recognized artist.
For that reason, many bandshows have no choice but to limit themselves with a very small budget, in means of cheaper amplifiers / sound system, uneducated sound technicians, and lack of experimenting with various venues.

Although it has been 2 years since our foundation, it has been the goal of Epic Marble Project to be the leaders in the art of event organization by combining minds of creative yet ambitious artists in challenging the realm of the impossible.
Every single event that we have hosted in the past, have meant just as much as the other, in the way that it is an event that we could take pride in.
Although the result may not be pretty sometimes, I have never regretted our decision in hosting a show, simply because that very event may have been the opportunity for the audience to be inspired, to meet new music, and maybe even result in growing a love for music and to create a band themselves.

The pure motive behind our will to push forward is not money, fame or popularity (although we would always like to achieve that), it's simply because we love music and we love to please those that also share a common passion. Although, this may catch most people by surprise, in most of our shows, we have not been able to earn the money that we have paid in hiring staff, renting the equipment / venue, printing out promotional items, and in all means making the show possible.
Believe it or not, we all have daytime jobs on top of what we do in EMP, and we all have many other commitments. In truth, the time spent on EMP can always be spent on working at a daytime job, which will most likely get us more money, but EMP has always been with us simply because music is our ultimate goal.

In organizing SONIC BREEZE, TRUE ENTERTAINMENT and EPIC MARBLE PROJECT has used 3 full days (yes, we did not sleep) in putting everything together. With Jeremy from TRUE leading us in our choice of sound and lighting, we were able to achieve something we had never imagined.
Although it was strenuous and exhausting, our efforts were well worth it, because we truly felt that the 8 awesome bands we were able to find, were able to squeeze out everything that they could offer at present time.

Using this opportunity, I would like to thank Jeremy from True Entertainment, all staff personnel of Epic Marble Project (especially Mati and Kaila who were always there), all bands (Artificial Polly, BSGE41, Crossing Lions, Daydream, Knights and Queen, Rah Rah Robot, The Right Hook, and White Symphony), Caleb from myJP Scion and all our other sponsors (DS Drum Service, Edo Sushi, Gigi Lui Styling, Golden Boot Cafe, KLIP, Panago Pizza and Quality Circle Lens), Anthony for filming the entire show and the beer, Dale for all the photos, Robin for designing the wicked poster, Gary from CMEV in help with setup, Steve for helping us with loading, Dennis from True Entertainment with lighting, all other TRUE personnel that I couldn't catch the names of, Misaki for help with striking,Tomo who supported Gigi Lui in styling (and for the flowers!) and helping out with the strike, Dennis Law and Horace Lee from Noisyhouse Studios and everyone who attended our show.

On top of that, I would personally like to thank Ralph, Omar, Joseph, and Jun for attending, Julie for the food, Takayuki for lending me the electric pick-up for the guitar, Shintaro for coming up with catch phrase in this event, Gary for giving us free coffee and beer, my parents for supporting me being a stupid child who wasted his university degree in being a hippy, all the members of Knights and Queen, and everyone who came to support Knights and Queen.

I have mentioned a lot of names here but please feel free to blackmail me if I missed you. I'm pretty out of it considering my lack of sleep and food.
Once again, I'd like to thank everyone I have mentioned above. Without you, this show would simply not have been possible.

Best regards,
Daizo Haraguchi

Knights and Queen Project

Daizo here.
It's been a while since my last entry.
Recently, I have been busy working on several new projects including Knights and Queen, which is a new band formed by former members of One Arm Bear and Paris in Tokyo.
The members consist of Misaki on vocals, Edison on guitar, Daizo on bass, and Mati on drums.



Currently, the band is focusing on their first live set for mid-July.
The concept of the live will be slightly different from what EMP had been aiming for, and will be at a more personal level. This will be a new challenge for the band as it will really require a higher level performance and greater unity of the band members.
Hopefully, this live will connect the band with the audience, and not just be entertaining to watch, but to be involved in.



The most recent event news and pics at the photo shoot can be checked out at the Facebook Knights and Queen page.
Interview with Knights and Queen will be uploaded on the coming episode of Epic Marble Radio.
Tune in!
