Me and My Shadow Set to Release New cd “Summer Cycle” on January 24 2012

Philadelphia Based Musician Brad Podray Explores the Many Moods of the ‘Summer Cycle’ on his Latest Electronic New Age Recording

Hollywood, CA, January 19, 2012 – Summertime and the musical living is easy—well, most of the time on Summer Cycle, the dynamic full length follow-up to Winter Cycle, the 2010 solo piano EP by My Shadow and I, an electronic new age project created by multi-talented Philadelphia based musician Brad Podray.

Melodic, richly textured and film score lush, Summer Cycle is an eclectic ten track chronicle of the powerful transitions and emotional breakthroughs that come months after the heartbreaking but necessary end of a relationship. A natural extension of “Bliss (End of the Winter Cycle),” the final track of the otherwise stark earlier album, the new album is released on Podray’s independent label Nonexistent Recordings.

Summer Cycle’s overriding theme of emergence matches that of Podray’s increasing presence as a force in contemporary instrumental music after years of eclectic performing and recording experiences in numerous other genres—among them, industrial metal, “Pirate rap,” alt rock and down tempo trip hop. While the Florida born musician’s rock influences range from Meat Loaf to Nine Inch Nails, his chief inspirations for his solo piano and electronic/symphonic works are Brian Eno, Danny Elfman and famed new age pianist David Lanz, whose encouraging words about the Eno-influenced self titled My Shadow and I debut led Podray to further develop his vision in this genre.

Podray had his hands full academically and creatively when sat down at his keyboard in 2009 to create the first My Shadow and I project. Having just graduated from dental school at the University of Pennsylvania, his days were consumed with his orthodontic residency at Temple University in his adopted home town of Philadelphia. At night, he let loose in two very unique bands, the pirate rap group Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew and the downtempo trip-hop ensemble Echo Slightly—both with his best friend from high school and longtime musical collaborator Daniel Dolan. Podray had recorded numerous albums with those and other groups over the past few years (18 in all!), and even released three projects by the indie band Finding Jupiter on his label. But looking ahead, he spent his rare down time creating music he could one day use to soothe patients when he launched his own practice as an orthodontist—which he did in late 2010.

By that time, he had independently released Winter Cycle, most of whose pieces were composed about the impending end and then the aftermath of a relationship. Its piano-heavy focus reflects what he calls a sad time in his life. While the piano is still a dominant melodic voice of Summer Cycle, the project’s deeper, more evolved production textures are one of the ways Podray creates a healing, optimistic counterpoint to the stark heartbreak of winter.

Even as Summer Cycle begins rolling out, Podray is working on another ambitious project under the name Maximalism—a concept he calls the more aggressive version of My Shadow and I, with high energy distorted guitars and even more synthesizers. His is a constantly flowing creative musical mind that has no boundaries or simple genres to get entangled in for long. “My Shadow and I and Maximalism are solo projects that show a different side of my personality,” he says. “One is calm yoga-type music while the other finds me going as crazy as I can get. With both projects, I love being able to fill a sonic space without having to figure out where to fit the words in.”

Local artist Stephanie Levine and her mother, Maddie, will be honored at the Hadassah Medical Center’s 6th annual CELL-A-BRATE event on Saturday, January 28, 2012 in Baltimore, MD.

Baltimore, MD, January 18, 2011 – Local artist Stephanie Levine and her mother, Maddie, will be honored at the Hadassah Medical Center’s 6th annual CELL-A-BRATE event on Saturday, January 28, 2012 in Baltimore, MD. The Hadassah Medical Center pioneers stem cell research to improve and potentially cure the lives of people suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions. The Hadassah Medical Center created the CELL-A-BRATE event to help raise awareness and funds for the significant costs associated with stem cell research.

Stephanie Levine is a Baltimore, MD based artist, producing mixed media works that incorporates crayons and pastels into her paintings. Hadassah chose Ms. Levine because of her significant achievements as a person with a disability. Although Stephanie was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and has been wheelchair bound her entire life, she has lived an active life, first working for Marriott, then as a volunteer at Port Discovery, and most recently as an artist.

Although Stephanie has always loved art, she originally doubted her ability. It wasn’t until her life coach, Ilyse Delanoy, had her work with an art therapist that Ms. Levine began creating work consistently. Since then, she lives by her motto, “You can’t stop me now!” She has created 15 new mixed media paintings since May 2011. Some of Stephanie’s work is reminiscent of the style of one of her favorite artists, Vincent van Gogh. Her creations reflect her creative, warm, and adventurous personality. Stephanie has her work reproduced onto notecards.

Stephanie donates all the proceeds from the sales of her cards to the Kennedy Krieger Institute, a Baltimore, MD based organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and brain disorders. When asked why she donates all of her proceeds to Kennedy Krieger, Stephanie responded, “I started going there when I was very young because I was born with Cerebral Palsy and have been seen there for a very long time. Dr. Sadowsky is my doctor there and she really cares about me and I want to give back to them as a thank you.”

In addition to painting, Stephanie is passionate about helping others and loves music. Her goals are to live an independent life, to be on TV, and to inspire other people with disabilities to express their personalities and expand their capabilities through art.

Tips for Post surgery Success from Signature Smiles

Minor dental surgery is something that most of us can’t go through life avoiding.

Great Neck, NY, January 18, 2012 – Minor dental surgery is something that most of us can’t go through life avoiding. If you have dental surgery coming up, make sure that – in addition to making sure all your questions are answered prior to your upcoming dental procedure – you also prepare yourself for any post-procedure discomfort you may experience.

For example, pop a (small) bag of frozen peas in your grocery cart the next time you go shopping, and keep it handy for when you return from your surgical appointment. Holding the bag of frozen peas to your face at ten to twenty minute intervals for the first 24 hours following surgery will help minimize any facial swelling. Do not apply heat within the first 24 hours, as this will make swelling worse, and may incubate bacteria, potentially resulting
in the spread of an infection.

Following your surgery, we will place a gauze pad on the surgical area to limit bleeding while clotting takes place. Make sure to continually bite down on the gauze, or keep the pad firmly pressed on the spot for at least an hour after leaving our office.

Following surgery we recommend you not smoke, drink from a bottle or through a straw, nor spit forcefully, as you could disrupt the surgery-healing clot.

Last but not least — make sure you take it easy after any surgery.

Rest and relaxation decelerate your circulation, which in turn slows down the bleeding and will help you recover faster.
