First canadian artist to headline Toroto’s Rogers Centre

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 16:46 GMT

Canadian platinum-selling independent artist and four-time JUNO award winner deadmau5 will make history on November 5 as he will become the first Canadian artist as well as the first electronic artist to have a headlining concert at the Rogers Centre when he brings his state-of-the-art live tour show to Toronto (sample clip: http://youtu.be/9Rnd7c5DwgE). The history of the building has played host to many great musical events and concerts, such as headlining tour shows by U2, The Rolling Stones, Coldplay and the Concert For Toronto special event, but has never had a Canadian artist headline their own show at the venue. Accustomed to communicating with his millions of fans online, deadmau5 will also share the first 25 minutes of the tour finale show with a free live stream from http://live.deadmau5.com, marking the launch of his new live streaming website, produced by exclusive streaming partners, Influxis. This live stream will also take place in tandem with exclusive media partner, YouTube, with both airing the live portion of the performance at 12 midnight EST/9 PM PST/4 AM GMT.

Named after his cat Professor Meowingtons, deadmau5’s Meowingtons Hax 40+ date tour has broken several records already, beginning with its opening date in Chicago when he became the first electronic artist to co-headline the annual Lollapalooza festival along with Foo Fighters. SPIN.com lauded his performance as the #1 set in The 10 Best Sets of Lollapalooza 2011 list and stated, “The level of spectacle that the Canadian electronic musician/producer commands is not just beyond any other electronic act, it’s beyond any other act period.”

Following Lollapalooza, deadmau5 set new records in Montreal and New York City within days of each other. In Montreal, he performed an unprecedented four consecutive shows at The Metropolis including a record three sold-out nights. His next tour market was New York City, where he performed an unprecedented six consecutive sold-out nights at Roseland Ballroom. Rage Against the Machine held the previous honor with five consecutive plays at Roseland in the summer of 1996.

While on tour, deadmau5’s latest album, 4×4=12 (Ultra Music, December 2010) reached platinum sales status in his native country, making his release the only Canadian Anglophone album to achieve the prestigious accolade this year.

The Meowingtons Hax Tour has helmed headliner slots at Outside Lands and the Virgin Mobile FreeFest, as well as four sold-out consecutive shows at the legendary Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. Other multiple sold-out dates include shows in Atlanta, Dallas, Boston and Chicago. Following in the footsteps of the Rolling Stones, deadmau5 also headlined his first baseball stadium show at PETCO Park in San Diego this past October.

FWAwebTV’s popularity reaches Korea, the world’s most “connected” country.

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 23:27 GMT

Since its launch in June, FWAwebTV has been a hit among tech-lovers, digital agencies and creative professionals around the world. It was the first ever 24/7 live streaming platform that showcased some of the best interactive marketing agencies in the world. And now, the place known as the world’s most “connected” country, Korea, is getting in on the fun.

For their August issue, Korea’s premier internet news magazine W.E.B. featured a story about FWAwebTV as a 2-page spread. It highlighted FWAwebTV’s appeal as a “creative reality show” that ushered in a true worldwide agency community on the web. It also mentioned the involvement of Influxis as the project’s U.S. streaming solutions company along with Group94, a Belgian creative agency, and Rob Ford, the founder of the FWA.

Yamaha Web Streaming At Newport Music Festival Takes Evolutionary Leap Forward

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 20:50 GMT

Building on the premiere of last year’s highly successful web streaming of select concerts from the venerated Newport Music Festival, this year the Yamaha Customer Experience Group once again leads the industry with a host of innovative technological and mobile media enhancements intended to bring these spectacular events to an even broader audience.

Beyond providing additional broadcasts, this year’s coverage will feature higher definition video, along with viewing accessibility on Apple iPhone and iPad devices. Newport 2011 will also feature the historic festival premiere of Yamaha Disklavier RemoteLive technology.

The Yamaha Customer Experience Group will broadcast from sumptuous Newport performance venues, including The Elms and The Breakers mansions. Select material will be streamed and then later compiled for a Best Of broadcast following the conclusion of the festival.

“Yamaha strives to continually enhance the viewing experience for this prestigious festival,” states Customer Experience Group Director Jeff Hawley. “Now, leveraging the power of mobile media, we’re able to broaden the festival’s reach in ways previously unimaginable.”

The broadcast is made possible by NewTek’s TriCaster 300, which produces and delivers video content over the Internet instantly. A new website platform which utilizes Influxis streaming and Yamaha-designed Paragon tracking and embedding technology enables a new range of broadcast options.

This year, TriCaster will also be used to stream MIDI, video and audio information in conjunction with a beta test of Yamaha’s RemoteLive technology, enabling the broadcast of select musical performances live and in real time from a Disklavier performing on-site at the Festival to several off-site Disklaviers nationwide. Select Yamaha retailer sites that will host the performances include Keyboard Concepts in Van Nuys, California and Cunningham Piano in Philadelphia.

From July 7-24, the 2011 Newport Music Festival will present morning, afternoon and evening concerts in the Newport Mansions and other venues in and around Newport. The 43rd season will continue the tradition of presenting unique chamber music programs and American debuts in a festival that has achieved worldwide renown as one of the leading chamber music events. Learn more at http://newportmusic.org.

Classical music lovers can visit the Newport Music broadcast site (http://4wrd.it/Newport) to access a calendar of special broadcast times.

These performances will also be accessible via the Yamaha Hub iOS app, available in the App Store for free. The innovative app – singled out by Apple as a “New and Noteworthy” addition to the App Store at its debut – aggregates data about Yamaha products, promotions, content and events.

Those seeking even more “behind the scenes” access can head over to the official Yamaha Hub Twitter or Facebook pages to see special video and photo posts from all of the Newport Festival concerts and venues throughout the weekend.

A major festival sponsor, Yamaha has provided its high-quality concert and conservatory grand pianos, along with a range of upright and digital instruments, to the acclaimed Newport Music Festival for 24 years. Among the models provided this year are the CFIIIS concert grand piano, the C7 concert grand, the DC7M4PRO and the DCFIIISM4PRO.

Influxis® develops and powers FWA’s 24/7 live streaming web app that introduces top ad agencies

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 19:02 GMT

The FWA launches a customized web app for the Favourite Website Awards’ 24/7 live streaming project that showcases 80 ad agencies from 28 countries.

FWAwebTV is a 24/7 live streaming project that showcases 80 of the world’s award winning interactive ad agencies from 28 countries. Each agency gets a one-hour slot of the live streaming schedule to introduce the agency. For subsequent rotations, these agencies will offer tutorials and other informative webcast sessions.

FWAwebTV is a brainchild of Rob Ford, the founder of the FWA, and it provides a real-time glimpse of what goes on in these top ad agencies every day. “Having such a huge network of award winning agencies at FWA, I just knew there was an opportunity to do something live to add to thefwa.com website. After speaking to some of the top FWA winners, I immediately realised this was indeed a good idea,” said Ford.

Pascal Leroy and Group94, a Belgian web design company, designed the website under the guidance of Rob Ford, and Influxis handled the web application development and hosting. Influxis was able to integrate the application with the FWA’s membership system, and it also developed FWAwebTV’s exclusive chat app Live Shout Box.

“As thefwa.com is a Flash site, I knew I wanted to use Flash Media Server for this project and Influxis was my #1 choice,” commented Ford.

Influxis also custom built FWAwebTV’s scheduling system where it automatically switches the live streaming to the respective agency at a scheduled time for a smooth transition from one stream to another. Also, a full mobile version of the service will be launched in the next several days.

“I am thrilled to have been able to help out Rob and Pascal in building such a great real time portal. It is incredibly addicting to watch, I’m sure new people get hooked everyday,” said Richard Blakely, Influxis CEO. “I have also learned a lot about different agency cultures by watching the streams, it reminds me that fun, creative office culture is important.”

The FWA’s goal is to continue to provide this unique creative platform for the world’s top ad agencies and let them organically grow FWAwebTV into something bigger and greater. To experience this live streaming, visit www.thefwa.com/fwawebtv.
