My Grandfather Rocks!

I have been working on a media transfer project the past while. I received around 80 hours of reel to reel tape. The tapes were my late grandfather’s. (It should be mentioned that his reel to reel inspired me to become an audio engineer.) I’m transferring all the tapes to digital. It’s a slow process but it’s a labour of love.

My grandfather was an accordionist. Well known too! He had a live radio show on CKCK in Regina long long ago. So going though the tapes I found one that has some interesting history to it. It starts with him introducing a Mr. Marconi. The first bit of the tape is missing but he mentions that Marconi is not the one who invented the radio, but his second cousin! Yes! My grandfather has him say something in Italian and then the two jam with Marconi on trumpet!

Can’t wait to share these recordings!

Episode 10 – Film and Soul

Episode 10 is where film and soul meet.

The first part of the show is about the Campbell River film industry and how the North Island College program is preparing the region. The second part of the episode is an interview with singer Dawn Pemberton.

New EPK at the Crossroads

How about that! I finally got around to setting up my press kit. In fact I set up an electronic press kit or EPK. It’s going to change a little but the content is there.

Go visit it now by clicking here Martin’s EPK which sends you to http://thecrossroads.tv/epk-martin-anthony/.

My story, is a good story…

The place I most enjoy is where I am creating. Creating creative content for television, radio, or traditional/online media. What I’m best known for is my writing and my voice. But I have a lot more to offer…

I believe in good people, and in the good of people…

I have done a lot in my lifetime. From aviation to music, and from audio engineer to creative media professional.

To understand the spirit of humanity, one must understand all aspects of life first hand. I love the spirit of invention and the will to overcome adversity. Having done so many things in my life, I have now been able to share the stories of interesting people I’ve met along the way with countless interesting stories. Everyone has a story.

Martin @ the Crossroads

The Crossroads is the place where important life decisions are made. We make them every day and I have met people, on my journey, that won out over all odds. To facilitate the human spirit, I created a TV show called The Crossroads with Martin Anthony that ran weekly on an international multi-lingual news channel in Istanbul.

The show highlighted quality entertainment and interesting people for over a year and a half.

I’m then produced and hosted a follow-up show called Martin @ the Crossroads with a talk format but with me looking for answers to reconnect with my own culture.

I have also worked as an:

Aviation expert – on-air (developed aviation safety training for over a decade)
Documentary & news writer, presenter, and producer
corporate film and e-learning production
script editing for voice

Marketplace…

Over time, I have developed and or created many entities that are all quite diverse from each other. Here you can find all my creative and technical marketplace activities.

Creative content and web design. I have developed websites since the introduction of the World Wide Web. I am fully versed in all aspects of it. From hosting and coding to design and development, I became an “accidental web designer”.

I also have these sites that I manage and own:

xRds.TV (Martin at the Crossroads, creative content, website, and hosting)
Systems-Solar.com (e-commerce & website design, hosting)
VeganPagan.com (groupware forum, creative content, website design, and hosting)
SongButchers.com (music website)
VancouverHighland.com (groupware forum)

So there you have it, I’ve done a lot and will continue to do so. I hope that your visit here was fruitful and if you require any services that I can provide personally or from my creative team please contact me !

Best,

Martin
