Publisher / Editor, John Ellis.
Circulation unknown... This E-Magazine is put together for
the purpose of promoting
Melodeon clients, you will find useful information about each
artist and can even write to your favorite performers, the editor will
make sure he passes all your correspondence along to each client.
Note from the editor:
First allow me this chance to say, after years of recording this
miscellaneous group of wandering souls, "I need a shrink". It's been a
weird wild and wondrous musical odyssey working with the artists you are
about to read about and it never ceases to amaze me, the physical
differences in people. Tall, short, muscular, fat, thin, funny,
beautiful, distinctive, fashion conscious, confused, spaced out and
sometimes sober, and they actually want to play their music in equally
contrasting ways. It doesn't take very long for the mind to get fried
with this kind of exposure, but hey, what do I know? I just hope and
pray that at the end of it all, there's a special place for engineers to
check into where they can be saved. Seriously though, if you ever have
the pleasure of being in the same room with one of them like I was,
I know that you too will come
out a better person. I wish them all the best...
Back in 1995
when I first got the idea of printing a little magazine to promote
Melodeon studios clients, it received so much positive feedback and
proved very popular with everyone. I remember my clients at that time
were using the magazine to promote their own endeavourers which turned
out to be good for everyone involved.
I always
wanted to do a revised edition adding more new clients and expanding
the magazine into other areas such as articles, reviews and even small
promotions, covering different subjects and benefiting all concerned. I
never did manage to print another edition but the new technology we have
at our fingertips today has enabled me to do much more in the way of an
electronic magazine (E-Mag).
I do hope that you find it useful and that you come by often to see what's happening on the local scene. I know that much of the content will be about local artists coming through Melodeon Studios but feel free to submit articles of your own if you think it fits the format we are trying to develop. Please make all submissions via e-mail and attachment to.
