Säm Wilder’s first project, Homebound, is an eight-track EP, composed of songs he wrote while in the US.

Hollywood, CA., November 27, 2020 -- Sam Wilder’s first project, Homebound, is an eight-track EP, composed of songs he wrote while in the US. He experiments with his many voices in music driven by a wide range of instruments, including synth keys, bossa nova samples, electric guitar, and larger-than-life vocal harmonies. Lead singles “Overtime”, “Fiending”, and “Sunlight” were just a taste of his unique approach to music. 

All tracks on Homebound could be classified as pop, but Säm keeps finding original ways to showcase his understanding of arrangement and progression throughout the EP, leading to every track having a different form of innovative songwriting and structure. With the number of unconventional elements in the songs, Homebound could easily be labeled as a genre-bending effort, with mixes that sound massive and radio-ready. Säm Wilder shows how wildly eclectic he can be here, and that’s working in his favor to establish a unique sound we’ve never heard before.
 
The message of Homebound can apply to everyone who has been affected by being stuck in their own house or away from their family because of quarantine. The main theme is perseverance found in the helplessness of things beyond your control.

On Homebound, Säm sings about being away from those you love, confused by the position you’re in, but never portray any real hopelessness. Instead, e.g. on the closer “Bring it Home,” Säm sings about how he can’t give up, and that he will relentlessly keep pursuing his dreams, regardless of any unexpected circumstances. Säm hadn’t seen his family in years, but he knew he would one day. The same can be said to everyone bound to their home by today’s pandemic – bide your time and don’t lose hope. Eventually, you’ll get what you’ve been waiting for.
 
Homebound speaks to us all musically and lyrically. It is a release you should not miss out on this year.

The 298-lot auction was filled with luxury watches by makers such as Rolex, Omega and Patek Philippe, fine jewelry, Pairpoint lamps, silver by Buccellati and Georg Jensen, glass by Lalique.

New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada, November 26, 2020 -- A Rolex Explorer wristwatch and an Omega ‘Pre-Moon’ Speedmaster watch, both from the 1960s, sold for $29,500 and $23,600, respectively; an 1880s Gilbert No. 8 floor standing jewelers regulator clock realized $8,850; and an 1890s watercolor painting by the renowned American artist Frederic Remington also brought $8,850 in Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd.’s online-only Watches, Jewelry & Decorative Arts auction held Nov. 21st.

All prices quoted are in Canadian dollars and include an 18 percent buyer’s premium.

The 298-lot auction was headlined by the single-owner lifetime clock collection of Bruce Walsh and was filled with luxury watches by makers such as Rolex, Omega and Patek Philippe, fine jewelry, Pairpoint lamps, silver by Buccellati and Georg Jensen, glass by Lalique, paintings and fine art, Asian objects, silver, carvings, decoys, art glass, art pottery, decorative arts and more.

“Men’s luxury watches are on fire right now,” said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. “We are consistently producing the kind of ‘estate fresh’ wristwatches that collectors want. All vintage luxury watches in this sale surpassed our expectations. The Rolex Explorer stole the show. It’s a rare model. ‘Tool’ watches like the Explorer and Submariner were often bought by professionals to use and abuse, and often were used and abused. This one was a rare survivor.”

The stainless-steel Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer, from 1966, was the auction’s top lot. It boasted a matte ‘frog’s foot’ dial with tritium hour markers and original creamy luminous hands. The caseback was engraved to the previous owner. The Omega Speedmaster, from 1962, was the sale’s runner-up top lot. It featured “DON” (dot-over-ninety) bezel and alpha hands, caliber 321 movement, and a non-Omega steel band. The caseback was also engraved to the previous owner.

The Gilbert No. 8 floor standing jewelers regulator, made in America during the 1880s, was from the Bruce Walsh collection and was housed in a handsome walnut case, 91 inches tall. It boasted a high-quality, 8-day, weight-driven regulator movement. The watercolor painting by Frederic Remington (American, 1861-1909), titled Sackrider, featured three horses roaming hillside. It was artist signed lower right edge and measured 11 ¼ inches by 8 ¾ inches (sight, less frame).

Following are additional highlights from the auction, which grossed $231,525. Nearly 300 users registered to bid online, via www.LiveAuctioneers.com and www.MillerandMillerAuctions.com. A total of 4,411 bids were placed; 41 percent of lots met or exceeded estimate, while 18 percent surpassed even the high-end estimate. Telephone and absentee (or left) bids were also accepted.

“While the Old World British art fell flat, good clocks, art glass, signed jewelry and lamps did extremely well,” Mr. Miller said.

Examples: a platinum diamond convertible pin, containing pear, round brilliant and baguette cut diamonds having a total weight of 9.23 carats garnered $7,670; a Patek Philippe 18kt white gold and diamond ladies’ Calatrava wristwatch, having bezel and lugs set with 62 well-matched VS quality diamonds of about 0.10 carats each, finished at $6,490; and an opalescent glass vase by Rene Lalique (French, circa 1920s), 9 ½ inches tall, hand-engraved on the base, made $5,015.

A Cartier Nigeria 18kt white gold diamond and onyx dress dome ring having a bombe design (French, 1970s), crafted with pave set round brilliant cut diamonds enhanced with pentagon shaped black onyx spots representing a panther’s skin, brought $7,080. Also, a 14kt yellow and white gold and diamond trinity ring with a finger fit shank, 3.97 grams total weight, with 1.75 total diamond weight VS1 HI diamonds, accompanied by a certificate, knocked down for $3,835.

An 18kt white gold diamond and ruby bracelet containing 8.28 carats of round brilliant cut diamonds of VS-SI quality, G-H-I color and good to medium cut, and 5.25 carats of fine quality rubies in an intense dark red color, finished at $5,015; and a Birks ‘Rosee du Matin’ double row flex diamond bracelet, VVS-VS diamonds with a total diamond weight of .73 carats, hit $4,425.

Three sterling silver sculptures by Mario Buccellati (Italian, 20th century) piqued bidder interest, with a 16 ½ inch tall sculpture of a silver eagle on a wood base, hallmarked to the upper foot ($4,130); a 5 ½ inch tall Kantharos Cup (1891-1965) with a gilt bronze insert, hallmarked ‘900’ on each handled ($3,245); and 7 ½ inch tall bear sculpture mounted to a quartz plinth ($3,245).

Miller & Miller Auctions has two winter sales planned. The first is an Advertising, Toys & Historic Objects auction slated for Saturday, December 12th.

London, UK, November 26, 2020 -- NRVT keeps his history of drumming lessons in a purple folder. Notation of drum patterns learned, he vaguely remembers. The paradiddle though is something else - the 'left right left' and the 'right left right' pattern or rudiment will always be remembered.

The thing about all those music courses taken, explains NRVT, means he can open a folder, walk down memory lane, and recall something learned. Having access to info that jogs your memory in the past to help you today in the present is handy.

NRVT explains - when you have a ton of information that puts a shirt on your back, shoes on your feet, and food in your mouth, then that ton of information becomes a treasure. Nobody can access that information. So now it's the muscles scenario, 'use it or lose it.'

Unless NRVT excavates that information and brings it to the surface by way of new songs then how will the audience know what they have been missing. NRVT recognizes the conduit role, the pipeline of audio refinery, like the processes of manufacturing starts with the raw material.

Having a market to deliver songs to has given NRVT the confidence to create. Seeing NRVT hit No. 1 on Apple, Napster, Spotify, Tidal, and Youtube playslists, tells us the rollercoaster ride aint over, just begun. So checkout these 3 new songs from NRVT, and follow his journey.

'Big Boat Jamaica' - is about travel and tourism in the Caribbean. A Hip Hop, Rap, Pop, Dance, Reggae inspired blend.

'Cry Balm' - is the sharing of energy between a man and a woman, friends, and living life on the cutting edge with an international perspective, and making time for those invited. A Hip Hop, Rap, Dance, Reggae, Rhythm and Blues blend.

'Gasoline and Petrol' - embraces people's unity with the automobile and the journey through life. A Dance, Electronic, Rap inspired blend.

Annapolis, MD and Waitsfield, VT, Nov 20, 2020 -- Discovery Map International, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions, cities and towns throughout North America, recently announced Mark Fullem as the new owner of Discovery Map of Annapolis. Fullem acquired the map in November 2020.

Fullem, a Brookville, Maryland resident, has a long history with the city of Annapolis. An avid boater, he’s been coming to the city since his late teens.

“When I retired earlier this year, I was looking for an opportunity that would let me relocate to the place I want to be, Annapolis,” said Fullem, who worked as a marketing executive for UnitedHealth Group over the last three decades. “Some friends of mine, Kurt and Melissa Godwin, just purchased the Discovery Map of Cape Coral (FL) and suggested I look into the Annapolis map. It really seemed like a perfect fit for what I want to do.”

Discovery Maps are colorful, hand-drawn maps that have become a favorite of travelers for navigating local dining, attractions, businesses, cultural experiences and tourist destinations. Discovery Map of Annapolis includes sites and destinations within the city and neighboring communities. That includes the U.S. Naval Academy, restaurants and other attractions along the Chesapeake and other tourist points of interest.

Discovery Maps are typically found on display in local stores, restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions. In addition, DiscoveryMap.com offers curated content to complement/supplement the printed map. The interactive map found the website is to scale, thus can be used for turn-by-turn directions, as well as to access detailed information about areas of interest, places to eat, lodging and other noteworthy sites.

“As much as we rely on our smartphones, people still prefer printed-out maps,” said Fullem. “Although Discovery Map has a great website and online presence, the maps are truly like works of art and reveal the character of an area... and there is a lot of that in Annapolis and the surrounding areas.”

For local businesses interested in placing an ad in the next Discovery Map of Annapolis, Fullem will start accepting ads in January 2021, with a distribution planned for May 2021.
