[Studio NYC] Writer’s Profile — Janice Davis

October 12, 2011

New York, NY – The cool temperatures of autumn have us already daydreaming about a vacation. We just got word from a friend of Sitka Creations, Janice Davis, with the latest about her new book. It’s all about villa travel. Vacation, anyone? Direct from her own synopsis:

Have you ever seen a movie or a TV drama that takes place in a lush Italian villa (or French chateau, Spanish castle or English manor house) and found yourself daydreaming of what it might be like to experience that lifestyle? Friends, a Villa & a Travel Bug by Janice Davis provides all the info you’ll need to plan a holiday with a large group of friends or family—in style and economically! Based on many years of experience renting luxurious and often historic European homes with groups of up to as many as twenty-seven friends, this book is a template for successful villa adventures. Every aspect of organizing such a holiday is covered, from how to locate your villa, to what factors you’ll need to weigh when making your selection, to dealing with pricing and figuring out who gets which room. Also included are travel basics (such as how to find the best air fare, how to pack efficiently, and how to beat jet lag) and anecdotes from her personal villa experiences.

Ms. Davis’ book is available on the Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites.

[Studio Sitka] A night of silence…

There are no more words tonight. A loss like Steve Jobs is just too big and too soon, too young. A night of silence folks…… Our condolences to his family. We are thankful for his life and work.

[Studio NYC] Press Release : Asbury Short Film Concert

September 29th, 2011

New York, NY – Nothing excites us more here at Sitka Creations then a reason to head into Manhattan for an old-fashioned film festival. After all, movies are meant to be seen on a theater screen, not an I-pod or computer.

If you are a film junkie and/or looking for something different to do this Fall make sure to check out the 31st Asbury Short Film Concert on Friday, November 18, 2011. This remarkable touring exhibition presents award-winning short films that have been carefully selected from US and international film festivals for your viewing pleasure. Highlights of this year’s annual showcase include The Lost Thing, a 2010 Oscar® winner for Best Animated Short Film and La Linea, recent winner of Audience Choice at the DC Shorts Film Festival. The purpose of this event is to showcase and celebrate these cinematic treasures in a real theater setting, as they were meant to be shown. So mark it down on your calendar and get ready to kick off the weekend with New York City’s longest-running short film exhibition at the NYIT Auditorium on Broadway (located at 1871 Broadway, at 62nd St., in Manhattan) at 7:30 p.m. on the 18th. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the Concert website at http://asburyshortsnyc.com or call 718-510-6929.

[Studio Sitka] Press Release : Pesto Music

September 28, 2011

Germany - We absolutely love these guys. The fine folks at Pesto Music keep cranking out new tunes with a worldly-vibe that we dig and we are excited to share some of their new tracks with you. Direct from their email:

“If Pesto 016 by Nick Fay vs. 2manyfold was too clubby for your taste, here’s a package full of deep goodness in the shape of our renowned “2.0″ compilation series. This time, the sampler’s subtitle goes “Deep Blue Dubs” and you [can] probably already guess what’s in for you. This time, we have no vocal track as usual but we decided to compile 10 tracks with that deep, techy and dubby quality. Once more, we have artists from a lot of different countries delivering different vibes. You’ll recognize some of the names probably but we also have some fresh and promising talent as always…”

To check out their new track list and to preview the tracks, visit: HYPERLINK http://soundcloud.com/pestomusic/sets/2-0-deep-blue-dubs-pesto-lp006

“Deep Blue Dubs” is available from Beatport exclusive starting today, all other major stores including iTunes, Juno, Traxsource, etc. will follow 12th October 2011 http://bit.ly/riGjxk.

[Studio Sitka] Artist Profile : Wayne E. Chinnock

September 13, 2011

Boston, Massachusetts — We finally caught up with Wayne E. Chinnock, an excellent photographer from the New England area. Mr. Chinnock is a contact we have had since 2004 and thought it high time to show off his work.

By Michala Smith

For Wayne E. Chinnock, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Mr. Chinnock grew up in Tucson, Arizona, watching his father tote his SLR camera around to family outings in the desert and the mountains and working late in his homemade darkroom. He learned how to use a camera at a young age but his true passion for the art of photography did not emerge until his university days at the Creative Photography Center at the University of Arizona.

After graduating, he began his quest of gathering inspiration from around the globe, traveling to over 40 countries and capturing their diverse cultures, landscapes, and architecture. Right now, Mr. Chinnock is based out of Boston, Mass., and his areas of expertise include commercial and advertising work, graphic design, weddings, and real-life photography (to name a few). The world is Mr. Chinnock’s muse and his experience living in other countries is what makes him a truly unique photographer. His motto is: “Real Moments + Real Photography = Real Memories.”

For more information about Wayne E. Chinnock and for links to his other sites, visit his main website at www.wecphotos.com.

[Studio Sitka] Press Release : Pesto Music

June 21, 2011

Germany — As you all may know, we are big fans of the DJ scene. We recently received an email from the folks at Pesto Music regarding some interesting things they have going on and we just wanted to share.
Direct from their site:

“Together with makers of fine software synths Disco DSP, Pesto Music is proud to announce its first open remix contest ever! The tune to be remixed is “Aegean” by Jon Silva, a smashing House tune that stormed Beatport’s House charts back in 2007 when it was first released. Now, we want to re-release the original together with remixes and that’s where you drop in…”
