Turn It Off

Back in the days of newspapers,

Media Guru Marshall Mcluhan said

that one slipped into one's morning newspaper

as into a warm bath.

You could read the front page, or skim the headlines,

or just go right to your favourite section.

It was, he said, a relatively "cool" medium.

Now we have much "hotter" mediums bombarding us

relentlessly with factoids, infomercials and come-ons.

It's no wonder that we sometimes just

feel the need to call out over the cacophony:

"Turn It Off!"

Ross Campbell and Claire Lawrence

at

Pinewood Studios in Vancouver,

with

Dave Pickell on the Prophet Five

Analogue Synthesizer

Norman McPherson

Brian Newcomb

on Fretless Bass

and

Kat Hendrikse on Drums.

Edmonton Film Makers

Allan Stein

and

Mairi Maclean,

who were also Ross's

musical partners

in his early swing band

Wrote & Produced a

dynamic music video for

Turn It Off,

which can be seen in the

Video Gallery on this website,

under the title "Turn It Off Again"

In it, they portrayed Ross in three different personas:

1) Computer Ross, who

discovers he can use his digital tools to create

a fantasy world

and simulate rockstar status;

2) Cave Man Ross,

his Alter-Ego & Nemesis

and

3) 4-yr-old Ross,

played by his son Riel.

If you REALLY like this song, please send Ross a couple of bucks to help fund his next album of Original Music, where your name will be included in the Credits, and you will become a Member of his
TOP FAN CLUB!

Thanks a lot!
