NOOP. What does that mean? It’s not a real word, right? Is it slang for “nope”? Is it some type of acronym? The uncertainty of this word is exactly why the LA based music quartet named themselves NOOP. So much of music (particularly in Los Angeles) is about being marketed and appealing to as many potential fans (translation-consumers) that this group wanted to rebel against that. No, they’re not musical anarchists. In fact, the members themselves have established and successful careers in other projects but they noticed that too often they were losing touch with making music for themselves…which is why they originally started down this career and artistic path. Call it a “musical time-out” if you like but NOOP has already been accumulating fans based on their first release “Evolve.” The irony of the situation is not lost on the group but they still try to avoid paying any attention to the glowing online reception this instrumental ensemble is receiving. One wonders if NOOP is like the...

Relocating is always somewhat difficult but having a friend who knows the ropes: where to find a good place to rent, where to eat, what to avoid…all of these things make a difference in establishing the solid foundation your experience is built upon. For businesses making their move to the US, that helping hand is a group called Locate in USA. Everything from how to go about obtaining a driver’s license to how the U.S. healthcare system works can be confusing and unfamiliar. When presenting one’s self in the marketplace to associates and clients, not dealing with the added stress of these aspects can make a monumental difference in demeanor and perception. Locate in USA has assisted many companies and their employees in making the calm transition to relocating or simply expanding into America. Holly Gottlieb, Locate In USA Moving to a completely new part of the world is not something that most people experience. Doing so with a business is an even smaller subset. Locate in U...

Tinker Brothers – Noah & Liam How long did you take to figure out your signature style of invisible paintings? What was the most difficult part of this process? It’s all about simplicity. We have always aspired to make our art as simple as possible without losing any of the flavour, without losing any of the soul so to say. We believe there is so much beauty in simplicity. When we started experimenting with varnish and discovered (by accident) the ‘invisible paintings’ it felt like coming home. At last. We believe the difficulty of being an artist, any kind of artist really, isn’t so much about discovering your unique style or signature. What’s difficult is to stay true to your heart, despite the rejections, the opinions of others, or the temptations to settle for less because of financial reasons. The hard part of the process wasn’t so much finding our signature style, but sticking with it. No matter what happens, your heart knows the way. “ Nobody Knows What It M...

How would you describe yourself in 3 words and what is your music about? If I'd describe me as an ...

“Being an editor must be tough. You do the same thing over and over and you’re always by yourself.” Amir Heshmati smirks a little when he hears this statement; it’s one that he has heard many times before. Part of his amusement is based on hearing it so many times and the other part is because this misconception could not be further from the truth. In fact, Amir admits that his job is so diverse and offers so many interesting topics to work with that it’s the antithesis of mundane. Those not involved in the Heshmati’s world may not be aware that an editor is so vital to the tone of a production that this person is symbiotic to the director. While this diversity is ample for film and television, Amir has expanded his own career by taking part in an eclectic set of professional situations. His adventurous side is evidenced by his work at the forefront of new techniques (for example, his work with digital based cosmetic company NYX and as one of the first editors ever to work with the Re...
