# Luther Whiting Mason

Luther Whiting Mason (3 April 1818 – 14 July 1896) was an American music educator who was hired by the Meiji period government of Japan as a foreign advisor to introduce Western classical music into the Japanese educational curriculum.

## Biography

Mason was born in Turner, Maine. He worked as a music teacher for many years, in Louisville (1852–55), followed by Cincinnati, Ohio (1856–64), and Boston, Massachusetts (1864–79). In addition to teaching, Mason collected songs, wrote textbooks, and promoted their publication. His teaching method made use of charts and what he called "ladders," to explain scales, staffs, clefs, note values, intervals, and dynamics.
While in Boston, he was scouted by the Japanese Ministry of Education on the recommendation of one of his former students, Isawa Shuji in 1872.
During his stay in Japan at Tokyo Imperial University from 1880-1882, Mason and Isawa worked together to develop programs for the teaching of music in elementary and middle schools, developing teacher training programs, and creating the first graded series of music textbooks in Japan. He also laid the foundation for a national music conservatory, the Tokyo Ongaku Gakkō, now part of the Tokyo University of the Arts. He also imported pianos and other western orchestral instruments, and made efforts to "improve" Japanese musical taste by encouraging study of harmony and popular western tunes.
Although Mason expressed a strong desire to remain in Japan, his contract was not renewed, largely due to budgetary reasons.
Mason later made four trips to Europe, visiting Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden and England, observing teaching methods and collecting hundreds of music books.
Mason died in Buckfield, Maine on 14 July 1896 at the age of 78.
# Curt Netto

Curt Adolph Netto (August 21, 1847 – February 7, 1909) was a German metallurgist and educator. He is regarded as a precursor for the industrial utilization of aluminium. He was active in early Meiji period Japan.

## Biography

Netto was born in Freiberg, Saxony, where his father, Gustav Adolph Netto was a mining official. As a youth, he relocated with his family to Schneeberg, Saxony, but returned to Freiberg by 1860. He enrolled in the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology in 1864. He left school in 1869, and volunteered for the military, joining the mountain troops corps. He saw combat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, and was decorated with the Iron Cross (second class). After the war, in 1871, he obtained a job as a chemist working with enamels at the workshop of Ernst August Geitner. In 1873, he was recruited by the Japanese government as a foreign advisor and was placed in charge of modernizing the Kosaka mines, a lead, copper and zinc mine at Kosaka, Akita in northern Honshu. He was one of the co-founders of the German Society of Natural History and Ethnology of Asia (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Natur- und Völkerkunde Ostasiens).
The mines were privatized in 1877, and Netto travelled to Tokyo, where he obtained a job as a lecturer on metallurgy at Tokyo Imperial University in 1878. He took a one-year sabbatical leave from 1882 to 1883 for research in Europe, Mexico and the United States. In June 1885, Emperor Meiji conferred upon him the Order of the Rising Sun. Netto's contract with Tokyo Imperial University expired in November 1885, and he returned to Germany in 1886. However, soon after his return, he was forced to sell much of his large collection of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints as he lost all of his savings in a bank failure.
After briefly working in Paris, Netto obtained a job with Krupp from 1887–1889, where he invented a new patented process to produce aluminium by the sodium reduction of cryolite. The revolutionary new process promised to drastically reduce production costs for aluminium, which until that point had been valued more highly than gold due to its scarcity and difficulty to produce. However, Netto's process was quickly rendered obsolete by the development of electrolysis smelting. In 1889, on the recommendation of noted chemist Clemens Winkler, Netto accepted a post as head of the technical department of Metallgesellschaft in Frankfurt am Main.
Netto married in 1899 and had three children. He retired in 1902 for health reasons and from 1906 resided at the spa resort of Bad Nauheim in Hesse. He died February 7, 1909, in Frankfurt.

## Publications

Netto published two books from his experiences in Japan:
* Papierschmetterlinge aus Japan (Paper Butterflies from Japan). Leipzig: Weigel 1888. (According to Basil Hall Chamberlain the "liveliest and best of all popular books on Japan".)
* Japanischer Humor, 1901
# James Ewen Matthews

James Ewen Matthews (17 August 1869 – 24 November 1950) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Albany, Prince Edward Island.
Matthews was based in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island during his early career as a teacher, journalist and Charlottetown city alderman. By 1911, he was based in Brandon, Manitoba where he worked as an insurance agent and became President of the Dominion Life Underwriters Association of Canada.
He was first elected to Parliament at the Brandon riding in a by-election on 14 November 1938, after an unsuccessful campaign in the riding during the 1935 federal election. Matthews was re-elected in 1940, 1945 and 1949. He died on 24 November 1950 before completing his term in the 21st Canadian Parliament.
# Phoenix Effect

Phoenix Effect is an alternative rock/post-grunge band from Espoo, Finland. Formed in 2008 by guitarist and vocalist Janne Kärkkäinen, the band has released two studio albums. Their first album, Cyanide Skies, was released on 18 February 2009 in Finland and entered the Finnish album charts at No. 22. Phoenix Effect have been known to collaborate with leading Finnish alternative rock band Poets of the Fall. Marko Saaresto and Olli Tukiainen from Poets of the Fall have performed additional vocals/guitars for the album. They have also made a cameo appearance in Phoenix Effect's music video 'King See No Evil'.
In addition to Kärkkäinen, the band consists of Pyry Nikkilä (guitar), Lauri Hämäläinen (bass) and Anton Laurila (drums).

## History
### Early Years (2007–08)

Lead vocalist Janne Kärkkäinen was a former member of the Finnish pop band Sunrise Avenue. Kärkkäinen parted ways with the band in 2007, citing a need to explore his own musical tastes. It was not very long, however, before he decided to set up Phoenix Effect. Kärkkäinen had a lot of ideas for songs, but he had given up songwriting years ago, at the start of Sunrise Avenue. The idea of calling up the guys from Poets Of The Fall, a rock group Kärkkäinen had toured with in his Sunrise Avenue days, arose and Saaresto and Tukiainen wrote several of the songs of their debut album, Cyanide Skies.
During the spring of 2008 the band members held songwriting sessions and as a result of every session there was a new song. Kärkkäinen recorded demos of the songs, and in May 2008 he and the guys sat down to go through the material created. The feeling was mutual and clear; these songs should be on an album. This would eventually lead to the creation of their album, Cyanide Skies.

### Cyanide Skies (2009)

The debut album "Cyanide Skies" was recorded during the fall of 2008 and was released on 18 February 2009. The album contained ten tracks of rock. In addition to the band members, featured on the album were Poets of the Fall's Jari Salminen(drums) and Jani Snellman (bass). Marko Saaresto and Olli Tukiainen also performed on a couple of tracks. The album was produced by Markus Kaarlonen, keyboardist and producer of Poets of the Fall as well as Kärkkäinen and it was released under Poets of the Fall's Insomniac label in Finland.
Cyanide Skies debuted at #22 on the Finnish charts. The album received positive reviews from critics.
