big rock candy mountain – big rock candy mountain

I'll tell you 'bout a land⁋It's not so far from here⁋And every time you blink your eyes⁋The strangest things appear

Oh, the Big Rock Candy Mountain is the perfect place for kids⁋Your allowance grows on bushes⁋And the cookie jars have no lids⁋You can have your choice of any pet⁋In the Big Rock Candy Zoo⁋There's rootbeer lakes you can dive into⁋You can paddle all around in a big canoe⁋In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain you never change your socks⁋And little streams of apple juice come a bubbling down the rocks⁋There's no such thing as homework⁋It's your birthday all the time⁋You can stay up late and your folks don't care⁋You can come to lunch in your underwear⁋In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

Oh... the buzzin' of the bees in the bubblegum trees⁋And the soda water fountain⁋The lemonade springs where the bluebirds sing⁋In the Big Rock Candy Mountain

Coming soon to stores in Edmonton: POPOPOPOPOP A drinkable publication dedicated to bubbles-as-scores, carbonation-as-percussion and the many other connections between pop and sound

BUBBLE ALERT 🟣🔴🟠🔵🟤⚪️🟢🟡 L

BUBBLE ALERT
🟣🔴🟠🔵🟤⚪️🟢🟡

Last June we launched #popopopopop a sound-based soda developed with artists, musicians and grade 6 students at @johnamcdougall with support from @mitchellartgallery @yegarts and @boochayeg

Since then, #popopopopop has been sold at neighborhood stores, school events, holiday fairs, pop-up events and in this current double-entendre setting, the POPWAY (pedway) on MacEwan University Campus.

Thanks to curator @carolyn_______jo for your words about the development of #popopopopop and the pop-way "...students created drawings inspired by the percussive sounds of the carbonated drink. Designer @jeff.kulak has pulled elements of these drawings into a wild magnum opus of soda sound-as-visual score--as if you are walking through a bottle of POPOPOPOPOP in the collective imagination of our neighbourhood grade six students."

If you're in Edmonton and on @macewanu campus, check it out and pick up a bottle of #popopopopop at the campus store, Griffin's Landing. We’ll be announcing out-of-edmo ordering info soon.

POPOPOPOPOP is launching publicly today! A sound-based soda developed by grade 6 students at @johnamcdougall and @bigrockcandy.mountain!

The soda features QR links to sound and animation files by the students of @thisiswherewejam and @mustafarafiqq @butterlvr69 @biboye.onanuga @itsgarethg @carla_jayne_ @andreashipka and @charmainelee 🎉🎉🎉
@furiousgreencloud laid the foundation for deep listening in her 👂 opening workshop. @ginapasaran was a behind the scenes wizard helping this project get off the ground. @carolyn_______jo supported this project in innumerable ways.

The soda is available @tixonthesquare @hideoutdistro @coffee.bureau @latitude_53 with more locations to be announced! Students from @johnamcdougall will be selling the soda at pop up markets hosted by @habesha_yeg on Thursdays throughout the summer. All proceeds from the soda support future art and music programming at John A McDougall School.

POPOPOPOPOP was co-funded by @mitchellartgallery and @yegarts. The soda was manufactured by Byron @boochayeg.

Tomorrow we celebrate the launch of POPOPOPOPOP with @thisiswherewejam and @johnamcdougall with a celebration on the last day of classes and during a record breaking heatwave! 🥵 We’re so excited to launch this to the broader public in a couple of weeks time! Stay tuned here for retail locations!

POPOPOPOPOP is a drinkable publication dedicated to bubbles-as-scores, carbonation-as-percussion and the many other connections between pop and sound.

POPOPOPOPOP is a @bigrockcandy.mountain project created in partnership with @johnamcdougall, @thisiswherewejam, and @boochayeg, funded by @yegarts and @mitchellartgallery. We are bubbling-over with amazement for
all the artists who contributed to this work: @andreashipka, @furiousgreencloud, @biboye.onanuga, @butterlvr69, @itsgarethg, @carla_jayne_, @charmainelee, @ginapasaran, @jeff.kulak, @mustafarafiqq.

Though much of this project took shape on-line, it’s development was grounded in the many lands our contributors and supporters gratefully inhabit: Treaty 6,
Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Territories, and
xwməθkwəy̓ əm, Skwxwú7mesh, səlilwətaɬ/selilwitulh.

We have been airing a weekly BUBBLE BROADCAST as part of @artspeakartspeak Artspeak Radio Digest: Proximities and as behind-the-scenes research for an upcoming @bigrockcandy.mountain project. This week we are interpreting this drawing of bubbles with @melsmandrews , made by Thea, a Grade 6 student in Edmonton at @johnamcdougall . Scroll through for our zoom-vessel-jam-band and for Melissa's pics of the vessels she played to represent the big dots in the drawing. All other audio interpretations of the drawing are described in tonight's episode... tune in on Vancouver's Co-op radio, CFRO 100.5FM. 9 pm PST!

Our guest is Melissa Andrews, who is a Music and Literacy teacher at John A. McDougall School. Fun fact, she started her teaching career at that school and loves the community there so much, she has never left! She received her Elementary Music Education degree from the University of Alberta. Outside of teaching, Melissa sits on the Board of Directors for Free Footie, an organization committed to providing free after school programming using physical activity for school aged children. She also serves as a member of the Executive team for the Alberta Orff Chapter which provides quality music PD and workshops for elementary music teachers in Edmonton and Northern Alberta. In her spare time, Melissa likes to spend time with her family and friends, play the ukelele and percussion, do escape rooms, binge watch Netflix and read great books!

This project is also supported by @mitchellartgallery and @yegarts #BRCMxYEG

.
.

We live in flavourful times. Whether we’re noshing on hot-dog-flavoured potato chips or on purple-black heirloom tomatoes, craft beer or seltzer water, szechuan peppercorns or unicorn frappuccinos, the gustatory trajectory of our era is the tireless pursuit of ever more flavour: fresher, intenser, hotter, weirder, more local, more authentic, more. This talk is about how we got here. In the twentieth century, flavour — both “natural” or “artificial” — became measurable, manipulable, and designable in new ways, with consequences for both the configuration of the global industrial food system and the shape of intimate human appetites. Writer and historian of science Nadia Berenstein offer a tour through the last century of flavour science and flavour creation, with a focus on the cultural dimensions and possibilities of added flavours.
