Dr. Nicole Pfeffermann, Founder and Owner, ISEIC and Phil Cartwright, CEO, Horizonvu Group LLC (HorizonVU Music) have launched a joint collaborative project, Global E-Music Zone.

GLOBAL E-MUSICZONE is multi-dimensional and focuses on music performance, creativity, innovation communication and other new management-marketing capabilities including e-Learning and webinars. With this approach, our solution offers musicians, business managers, and market players a “one stop shop”, a multiart platform for creative professionals and an e-Learning space reaching across conventional boundaries and disciplines. As a basis, the platform isl providing end-users the methods and e-Tools needed to connect, innovate and learn for achieving market success and for future business opportunities and growth in the 21century. This platform is also dedicated to relevant research and provide new research results and best practices. A demonstration version is now available online and the prototype includes a visitor survey.

Together ISEIC and HorizonVU Music recognize that doing business in the entertainment industry is more challenging than ever, and the music business is no exception. Today all the players need skill sets that cut across multiple dimensions including knowledge of the music itself, familiarity with management and marketing methods and processes, and of course, an understanding of how to effectively engage networks in production, distribution, end-user recognition and enjoyment of the work.

Based on their experience, Pfeffermann and Cartwright believe that industry expertise is often fragmented, or disconnected, with individuals having high levels of expertise in one, or perhaps two-dimensions. Musicians are typically strongest with respect to creative and artistic efforts, while managers and market specialists excel at understanding strategy and tactical marketing. Often, specialists are sought to maximize effectiveness of on and offline networking. This is understandable owing to conventional educational training and interests of the participants, yet given the current market environment and new technologies in the digital age a wider breadth of knowledge encompassing creativity and innovation, management and marketing, and application of networking engagement skills and tools can only be an advantage for the savvy and successful players.

Rebecca’s Creations – Going Video!

Why video? Why change? To be honest, first, we’re changing formats because it’s the cool thing to do for cool contributions. Second, Rebecca is a communicator with an outgoing personality. Video lets you know Rebecca more personally and it gives Rebecca more flexibility. She can do more than write about the indie scene – she can actually show you what she’s talking about.

As most of you know, Rebecca Nobrega has been a regular contributor to HorizonVU Music both on and off-line for well over a year. She brings us news and reviews of the latest in indie fashion, design, and of course, the music scene. This week Rebecca takes to the streets of Toronto to find out what people are thinking about seasonal indie fashions, their thoughts on “Black Friday” and more. Enjoy!!!

Phil Cartwright
CEO, HorizonVU Music

Rebecca Nobrega, Media Writer, Design and Mode

Ok, so who in their right mind would plan three months on the road, visit ten different countries, drive over 12 000km’s, and perform at over 50 shows? We did! After months of planning, preparation and fundrasing through www.pozible.com, we got the show on the road. If you have just recently joined my mailing list, then you can click here and go to youtube and watch videos from our Daydreamer tour in the UK and bonus film clips. This tour was one of the most wonderful life changing times for me. It opened my heart, showed me faith in this big wide world of ours, the people that live in it, and in music. My passion to create and share music was taken to a whole new level and since coming home I have already started working on the next album, which will include this brand new song which we recorded in the south of France – No Ordinary Love Song.

We made so many new friends, had many laughs and smiles, experienced approx 4 mudded out festivals, 1 gig in the back of a semi trailer, 5 countries I’ve never been to before, radio play all over Europe, approx 2000 photos taken by Goba, a few mid-gig guitar string snaps, lots of German and Beligium beer, bratwurst, coffee, towering infernos, eggs on toast, and apple pie from Amsterdam – best breaky ever! (Did I forget to mention the Swiss chocolate?!)

From Paris With Love x x

I couldn’t think of a better place to end our three month tour than in Paris. This is the city that stole my heart seven years ago when I bought a one way ticket to France to learn to sing in French and follow my dream to make music! I was a regular at lots of the open mic nights and would try out new material in front of audiences that didn’t really understand what I was singing about, but appreciated it just the same. It was so great to be back in my old stomping ground.

James and I performed a few shows in Montmatre, and also did some busking on sunny days. Our clips for the last part of the tour – Amsterdam,Germany, Switzerland, and Paris will be up online very soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these photos taken by Goba from our time in France. Big thanks to our Paris promotion partner Phil Cartwright from HorizonVU for your help in getting some shows off the ground.

Family in the south of France…

It was really special for me to take some time off from the tour and get together with some of my French family down in the south of France. Whenever I come back here it always helps me to feel my roots and my ancestry. I believe it’s really important to know where we’ve come from to know where we’re heading. ( I also really enjoy the local vin rouge!)

Big thanks to a few special people who really made the Daydreamer Europe tour happen – Goba for all your love, kindness, driving and camera skills, James Ross for your fun energy on stage, enthusiam and arm wrestles! Thanks to Merch Muma for helping us on the road in many different ways, and also BIG thanks to all of you for your support.

“This membership is the beginning of a company outreach program bridging independent musicians and independent filmmakers”, according to Phil Cartwright, CEO of HorizonVU Music. Phil has asked Lucie Reneau to lead the company’s efforts in planning and implementing a project that represents a “win-win” for artists wanting to pursue working in a multiarts environment. “Over the weeks and months ahead, Lucie will be reaching out to the independent film community in France and abroad to structure a program to build community,” said Phil.

IFP represents a network of 10,000 filmmakers in New York City and around the world. Through its workshops, seminars, conferences, mentorships, and Filmmaker magazine, IFP schools its members in the art, technology, and business of independent filmmaking (there are special programs to promote racial, ethnic, religious, ideological, gender, and sexual diversity). IFP builds audiences by hosting screenings, often in collaboration with other cultural institutions-and also bestows the Gotham Awards™, the first honors of the film awards season. When all is said and done, IFP fosters the development of 300 feature and documentary films each year.

Music is an integral part of the lives of children. With an aim for creating awareness of and providing support for The Association Christina Noble http://www.asso-christina-noble.fr , the humanitarian organization that provides aid and comfort to underprivileged children in Vietnam and Mongolia, a concert  is planned for 30 June 2011, 20h00.

The show which will take place at La Pomme d’Eve , 1 rue Laplace, 75005 Paris, admission 5€, features rising pop artist LYNETTE with Max Jean-Louis, Pierre-Yann Bellego and Fabrice Hoarau performing their latest original material and popular covers which have earned them recognition.

The Association Christina Noble is a humanitarian organization that provides aid and comfort to underprivileged children in Vietnam and Mongolia. It represents, in France, “Christina Noble Children’s Foundation.

The Association Christina Noble is completely independent of any political affiliation and / or religious and  acts  for:

  • The protection of children against exploitation
  • Education and employability
  • Medical Care
  • Accommodation

The Association’s  work is not limited to these areas. It also trying to bring warmth and happy experiences that constitute a real childhood and its

Marie-Charlotte Lanniée and Caroline Faraud, Association Christina Noble

work is in the context of family and community whenever possible.  Efforts are  focused  on respecting the dignity of each individual child.

Lynette sings with the confidence and clarity of a woman who really knows her own voice. Which makes sense, since she says she’s been singing for as long as she can remember. Writing her first song at the tender age of seven, Lynette knew music would always be a big part of her life. She began classical voice training at the age of eleven.

Since having graduated from Princeton University, Lynette has had the opportunities to do some

songwriting and recording at various studios in Nashville. Her studies, extensive travels, life experiences and the friends she’s made along the way have helped to significantly shape her musical tastes and writing and performance styles.

Lynette’s lyrics have a poetic quality and bring to bear the power and multiplicity of words. Her music attempts to express and illuminate the power of common, shared experiences: life, love and hope. Lynette is currently working on an EP.

HorizonVU Music is about the coming together of hopes and dreams – a dynamic, changing view toward the future which

can be attained – with the love of music.  HorizonVU Music focuses on the developing careers of emerging artists in rock, alternative and folk. HorizonVU Music CEO, and Promoter, Phil Cartwright said earlier today, “It’s a privilege to be a part of something so special. It’s a great chance for us to help kids that need us so very much.”
