SAPLING AND SKY: A NEW RECORDING IN DTK STUDIO

Located within the 44 Gaukel St. arts space in the heart of downtown Kitchener, Sapling and Sky opened its doors to musicians and artists of all sorts this past June.   

The studio is equipped for mixing/mastering, live tracking, vocal recording and song development along with in-house video and photography available.

For co-owners Doran Leung and Joshua Pascua, this new venture marks the realization of their mutual lifelong passions for music. Leung, who studied classical violin at Wilfred Laurier University is also a member of local band Maria Gabriella and Corduroy Blue.

Pascua studied at Mohawk College and has been performing as a singer and musician for over a decade, drawing on soul funk and disco influences.  

The two met through mutual friends in 2022.  

ā€œI was trying to find someone willing to take that full leap into pursuing music full-time as a career—and Josh had already been doing so for years,ā€ he said. ā€œIt was like a prayer answered when Doran hit me up, I would say. I think he saw something in me that I also saw in him,ā€ Pascua said.   

He previously had his own personal studio for just over a year, in which he refined his knowledge of studio production and recording.   

ā€œUltimately it was a matter of, how can I take what I learned from this personal studio and help others with it?,ā€ Pascua said.  

The space is adorned with an array of records, featuring the likes of Jermaine Jackson, Miles Davis and Esther Phillips.   

ā€œShout-out to Extra Large Recordsā€ Leung said. ā€œMost of the records on the wall, we got from there. The sound panels are from a guy in Ayr who custom makes them.ā€  

Joining these music greats on the wall are soundproofing panels evenly spaced out, all of it surrounding the studio’s heap of high-quality microphones, amps, and other production equipment.    

Sapling and Sky is equipped to work with and record all varieties of sounds and genre.   

ā€œA few days ago we had a Nigerian artist from Brantford come by,ā€ Leung said. ā€œTomorrow we’ve got a Punjabi rapper.ā€  

A notable trait that the two joked about including as an official item on their terms and conditions form is the studio’s shoes-off policy. Rugs cover most of the studio space which combine with the blue sectional couch and warm colour lamps to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere.   

ā€œIt made sense with the rugs and how winter in Canada is with the salt. Plus, we’re Asian,ā€ Leung said.   

ā€œWe want this place to feel cozy, we want people to come in and treat this place like their home,ā€ Pascua said.   

Having both grown up in the GTA prior to moving to the Kitchener-Waterloo area, the duo expressed their love and appreciation for both the local music scene and the wider community overall.   

ā€œIt’s been a lot of fun so far…here it really feels like community over competition,ā€ Pascua said.

Dear Waterloo Region Climate Collaborative participants,

With both federal and provincial elections on the horizon, the time for collaboration is now!

Our next WRCC meeting will be a workshop on election collaboration, and we are reaching out to our network members with the message that we need your participation now more than ever. 

  • For regular attendees at monthly meetings: Can you bring along someone new from your organization?
  • For organizations without regular attendance: We hope you will consider attending this one; the more groups represented, the stronger we all are!  

We are aiming for more synergy, not more work! Here are our key questions for the workshop:

  • What is your organization already doing or planning to do to boost attention on climate policy in the lead-up to elections?
  • How can we better collaborate across the climate advocacy community to reach new audiences and achieve maximum climate impact on election outcomes?

Although the Civil Defence campaign posters mostly focused on "civilian" perils, they were clearly based in Cold War fears as graphically illustrated in our final poster from Wilfred Laurier University.

Justin Case, the male character of the Civil Defence Campaign, is shown as an older gentleman (probably the same age as war veterans), always in control and sensibly aware of the risks.

Bea Alerte was the female character in the Civil Defence Campaign and was the epitome of ideal feminine respectability at the time in her sensible utilitarian clothing and practical hairstyle.
