New Life Media
is the brainchild of Director, Patrick Canavan. We have been in business since
1993 and we became a corporation in February 2004.
Music creation has been the foundation of the company with music videos
and packaging of CDs becoming an important part of the companys growth.
We produced
and released Music and videos for the Canadian chart topping indie band U4EA.
This lead to collaboration with painter Ken Kirkby and his immense art tour
"Isumataq".
Kens 152 X 12 foot painting of the Canadian arctic evoked themes of
Art,
Canadian History, Aboriginal issues and the environment and was unveiled in
Canadian
Parliament. New Life Media created the video visuals and Soundscape compositions
(Songs of the Earth) as well as a pop rock album written by Pat Canavan and
former
Honeymoon Suite bassist Gary Lalonde.
The tour concluded at the Isumataq Pavilion in Ontario Place, Toronto in the
autumn of
1993.
I was deeply affected by the whole process, says Pat. And it led
him to the study of
acoustic/music therapy with Dr. Charles Potter. Charles became an alternative
health practitioner after being a decorated world war two (WW11) field medic
and
long time piano tuner.
In 1996, Pat was commissioned to write Celestial Co-Creation for Norma Toombs
Life Response health clinic. Since then, Doctors and Health practitioners
have been using the CD worldwide.
Collaborating with Norma Toombs and Marilyn Velpel the three came up with
a revolutionary new way to assist in the healing of individuals by using their
name and birth date. We continue this service today and have launched a web
site for babies called BABY SOUND
ASLEEP.
In 1997, New Life Media began producing corporate video and audio programming
for our corporate clientele. These included mass duplication of Videos, CDs
and tapes.
The business grew into large-scale corporate video presentations and eventually
film, television and radio commercials. We continue these services today.
In 1999, Pat was commissioned to compose the musical score for the Award Winning
Sci-Fi Film Amplifier. The soundtrack featured the song These Other
Things with Pats band HERE. The drummer for the song was Geoff
Bennett who later went on to write the worldwide mega hit Stomp.
We have also created works for other films like Kat Lantaigne's film Wilma's
Sacrifice and Hal Graham's Nature Documentary "Torngat Tapestries"
