REQUIEM'S A "NO GO" IN TORONTO

So it seems I jumped the gun and was very ill prepared when deciding to play a show in Toronto.  Apparently getting into Canada with music gear from the US is nearly impossible, especially without a work permit, which I don't have.  I contemplated many different ideas to "foil the system", but decided against them all for the sake of me and my gear.  During my research into the matter, I read some horror stories online about crossing into Canada as a musician.  One person even said that they've toured all over the world and crossed Russian and Israeli borders, and never had more trouble than getting in and out of Canada.  It has something to do with the Canadian musicians union working close with the border crossing.  They don't want outsiders coming in and making money....well, me and plenty of other musicians make absolutely NO money and still want to play anywhere and everywhere possible, in fact we lose money to do it and do often.

So I won't be playing, but I'm still going to be at the "Festival of Fear" premiere of  "...And Then I Helped", a movie I helped score.

PORTAL LINKS

If you're interested in listening to the largest amount of music, at the best quality, and possibly even purchase the music, then bandcamp.com is going to be the best place to go. Bandcamp will be my main vessel for digital music distribution.

Deviantart will take you to my artwork and photography.

Maggot Films, IMDB, and 'The Secret Door' are links pertaining to the films I've scored.


The 'zazzle' link will take you to a web store featuring products designed by me.  Right now there's some requiem inspired ties for sale.  The price may seem high, but I have it set to the minimum they allow me to sell them at.  By no means am I trying to make much money off of these. If you buy a tie I get $3.00 (10% of what zazzle makes)  I originally designed them for my own use, but people have given me positive feedback about them, so I decided to make them available for anyone who wants them.

Other links will take you to various social and music networks.
