(313) Ms. Laura Gavoor

2002-10-02 Thread derek

i feel like i need to express some of my thoughts on laura. this isnt intended 
to be a eulogy, so please bear with me on my ramblings. im a little thrown off 
by the whole thing.

im in frankfurt right now. i was awakened with a phonecall around 8 pm german 
time concerning the very untimely and extremely unfortunant death of Ms. 
Gavoor. i dont have anyone over here to talk to about it with (besides rich), 
and unless the funeral is next wednesday, i wont be able to attend. so, i 
figured i would open up on here.

i met Laura on a wednesday night down at alvins in 95 for family funktion. i 
kinda jumped into a conversation between her and claude young. until then, id 
never seen a woman (let alone a human being) freely discuss their passions for 
detroit techno, as well as the development of its artists. she floored me with 
it! the thing i awlays respected about her is that she never pulled any 
punches. she always told the story straight, or at least how she saw it. she 
may have been considered to have (for lack of a better term) a big mouth, but 
she was never one who couldnt be corrected. for this, i always had the utmost 
respect for her. in this world of backbiting snakes around every corner, she 
was always up front, as well as being open to suggestion.  She set the record 
straight, and she stood up for detroit artists, wether they were managed by her 
or not. i think this is more than i could say about most of the people ive come 
across in her exact same position.

anyhow, i sat with her and claude for at least 2 hours. barely spoke. 
interjected here and there... maybe a nod or a naive little YEAH! TOTTALLY! 
here and there. surely, not something that contributed in any way to the 
conversation at hand. 

i ran into her again about 3-4 months later. i wanted to say hello, but figured 
why would she rememeber me?? and left it alone. near the end of the night, 
she made a point to come say hello and tell me she was leaving. i never forgot 
that. i keep thinking about all the countless people ive met where i had to 
think ahead of time on how i would say hi and what would be the best thing to 
refresh their memory with, and because of this instance, ive eternally felt bad 
whenever i get approached and dont rememeber meeting the person who approaches 
me. ive learned over time that these things just sometimes happen, but for 
whatever reason laura rememebered me. and i think im not alone with this. 


for about a year or 2 after that occasion, i would run into her all the time. 
shed always be in the middle of the floor, shakin it. metroplex 10 year 
anniversary: stacey pullen in the main room... her and adriel might as well had 
a spotlight on them. didnt matter really, cuz her energy straight lit the floor 
up on its own! plenty of other occasions, but this one has always stood out. 

over time, she kinda stayed more in the background. i didnt see her as much, 
but at the important events. it was always a joy to see her out. thinking back 
to the good ol days of 95 and such when everything was all about fun (har har). 

and then i rememeber when i had jumped on as resident at family. when things 
started cookin down there, laura was a permanant fixture on tuesdays. part of 
the original true spirit of the night. id  be playing, and just seeing her on 
the floor partying always gave me an incredible feeling! i mean, shes heard 
them all! if laura was dancing, then the dj most likely was doing something 
right. seeing her on the floor gave me more encouragement and confidence. 


then around 6 months into family, she gave me full on support. offering her 
booking services to me and such. although i declined her offer (im a kinda do 
it yourself kinda guy), i was thoughoughly grateful for her even having the 
interest. looking back, i kinda wish i had accepted, as this would have been 
the only chance her and i wouldve had for working together. 


laura will be missed. by me, by the party scene in detroit, as well as her 
spirit for the city itself. 


there might be some people who dont have the kindest of things to say about 
her. 

im not one of those people.


if youve read this far, you should kinda aska round and make sure claude is 
aware of this. ive lost complete touch with him, but im positive hed want to 
know.


my thoughts and prayers go out to lauras family.

and to you, Laura, go find armando and larry levan. 

the party is waiting on you.

rest in peace.

love always,

derek.

Dear Friends of Laura,

At approximately 10 p.m. Tuesday, Laura passed away after being removed from 
life support at William Beaumont Hospital. She died from complications from 
a brain aneurysm and stroke suffered Monday. This sudden loss is 
overwhelming and she will be missed by her family and friends around the 
globe. Please say a prayer for her and the Gavoor family.


Below are the arrangements for Laura -- I can not even start to contact all 
of her friends and collegues with such short notice and hope that everyone 
can forward this to people (especially international friends) that I might 
not have email or contact info for.


There will be a visitation Thursday, October 3, from 1-4 and 6-9p at:
Fred Wood Funeral Home
36100 5 Mile
Livonia, MI
734-464-8060

The funeral service will be held Friday, October 4, at:
St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic
19300 Ford Rd.
Dearborn, MI
313-336-6200
The time is still undetermined but will likely be around 10-11am. You can 
arrive early if needed. I will try to update via email when the schedule is 
finalized.


Please take time to pay your respects to her family and relatives -- many of 
them do not understand the impact Laura had on the global dance music 
community through her personal and professional efforts and how she 
pioneered areas considered stardard today. It is important that we give back 
to her by showing our support and letting her family know what she did for 
each and every one of us as a friend and fan.


Her family has also arranged obituary listings in the Detroit News and Free 
Press on Wednesday, Oct. 2 -- feel free to refer people to those as I think 
they will have the same, if not more, information.


Regarding donations and gifts to the family, please send all items to:

The Gavoor Family

Off the top of my head..

1) Sleeve art
Juan  3MB's album with the TDR artwork - all over the shop, vibrant.
Plus I love the label art as well.
The Concept series - clever concept ;)
The Navarre mixes of Suburban Knights Art of Stalking.

On music art, labels, covers, artwork with turntables/vinyl, and to a
minor extent flyers, I recommend the book Discstyle -

2) Lucky finds
I received Sean Deason's Allegory  Metaphor for US$0.01 plus postage

Some white labels which were Phuture tracks for a few dollars.
Naomi Daniel's Feel The Fire double pack for nix aswell.

 Maybe I'm no longer clear on my gear timelines, but it seems to me that if
 the Roland 808 (with analog drum sounds) was in production in (roughly) 1982
 and the 909 (with a mixture of analog and sampled drum sounds) in 1983,
 wouldnt the R8, which contains sampled drum sounds only, have followed those
 machines years later (especially since it samples sounds from the 808 and
 909 machines)?

2002-10-02 Thread Fred Heutte
I had a few email conversations and unfortunately never met her.  
But how could someone like Laura Gavoor not leave a memorable and
positive impression.  A great beacon of integrity connecting the
amazing and essential world of music with the necessary but
utterly crummy world of the music business, and providing some
needed sanity to the latter.

I join with those of you who knew Laura personally, this is a great
loss and as we go forward let's not forget to honor others who 
like Laura respect and embrace the music, the people and life itself.

  More appropriately a study of the RECURRING and cyclical
  pattern of de-evolution and propaganda with regard to Black
  American artists.  The past is over and can never be
  repeatedor can it..??

  What has been discussed has been due to the fact THAT THERE ARE
  NO black American DANCE artists of any number nowadays,
  sporting the same opportune major label distribution or
  recognition as their white counterparts...of whatever aspect of
  dance music they represent.  If they are producing
  electronically driven dance music, are known and
  American...chances are they've got a pretty good situation with
  a major American label.

  What came before has set today's climate in this industry.
  There are NO BLACK Rock n'Roll artists today...FOR A VERY GOOD
  REASON.  They were eliminated from the playing field a long
  time ago,but once upon a time the music was THEIRS alone born
  and bred.  No one could tell me that all Black American rock n'
  roll musicians/bands...just disappeared. There are probably
  still black rock bands trying to get signed that will NEVER be
  afforded the opportunity in today's America.  Why?? Because
  they aren't smart enough or talented enough?  Please someone
  factually contradict this phenome with even the smallest
  exampleAlan?

  The game is old...competition...dirty pool...whatever you wish
  to call itbut it/the past solidly outlines what is to
  come--if we let it.

  Okay, Carl Craig's with Caroline...King Britt has made it to
  radio...anybody else???  Anybody?  Kool Keith???  He's
  frustrated as hell and gits no marketing support (or radio
  play) from his label and therefore will remain right where he
  is.  Who else?  Let's update this to present day and back up
  our discussion/argument with facts.

  My tirade was in response to lack of respect for those 313
  trail-blazing artists, business peeps, record store owners and
  promoters that came before affording a way for the young and
  inexperienced types on this list to presume expertise about
  garnering success in this country.  Most of you have no clue of
  what these artists/peeps have gone through or what they are
  faced with TODAY in order to sell product.

  I'll wager that, just within the dance music arena, that there
  are even LESS black artists with major label deals/ties TODAY
  then there were back in the dusty (according to Josh) days of
  Juan Atkins/Lil Louis.  Just within electronic dance musics'
  major categories (House, Techno, Dn'B...) Let's keep this
  mainstream american labels/mainstream subs only, K?

  How is this relevant to the so-called underground?...again
  microcosm to the macroeconomics of the entertainment industry
  at large in this country.  If artists like Blaze, (is this
  recent enuff?) once signed to Motown failed at getting exposure
  and radio play for their product even while housed in a
  majorwhat chance, then, do the independents have to
  facilitate/develop market base or penetration to sell their
  product to potential fans in America?

  Whether you accept this or not...that is their goal--SALES and
  market penetration...not just ot be coolly exclusive for y'all
  to selfishly consume.

  Answering that, begs further questioning...do some of you
  presume that their product WOULDN'T be taken to or enjoyed by
  said potential audience?  Cuz the success that we independents
  have garnered (as well as this thread) have proven that a
  fallacy.

  Independent (mostly public and college) radio actively play our
  products which gives a little hope and exposure for new
  sales/market penetration. But again, opportunities afforded us
  are the result of 20 or 30 TIMES the work of our counter-parts
  and non-ethnic competition.

  Roll callfor dance music artists either signed to or with
  major label distributioneveryone submit/post those that you
  know.  While I have preference for good music of any color..I'm
  rather certain this discussion will still break out skewed in
  favor of non-ethnic (politically correct enuff?) artists, both
  good..mostly bad, based in this country.

  Because of the severe lack of support and active dis-interest,

But, I am very shocked of this Terrible Great loss of Laura Gavoor.

My Deepest Sympathy, Thoughts, and Prayer go out to the Gavoor Family.

Laura was one of very few Women in the Detroit Electronic Music Underground
Scene when I started my Record Label in 1990 (Acacia Records), that help 
Build our City's Techno Dream in the past decade.
Laura not only Booked myself on various DJ Venues, but alot of other Artists
in Detroit and the Surrounding areas, such as Norma Jean Bell, Theo Parrish, 
KDJ,
Kenny Larkin, and Juan Atkins to name a few.
I met Laura in the early 90's .
She was always so full of energy, dances (at Clubs), very down to earth, and 
extremely Supportive of the Detroit Electronic Music Scene, including ALL of 
it's Artists.
She not only managed her Booking agency for over 10 years (and did very 
well), but Organized and Promoted, some of the Best underground Parties with 
Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Jeff Mills to name a few. 
Laura also Administered, and Consulted a couple of Detroit's Most innovative 
Independent Record Labels.
She was like a Sister to me, being one of the first most Prominent real  
Female Supporters of Techno Music I met to date. Someone who I can call 
anytime of the day and night and say Hey, what ya working on now?, or just 
how are you?, she would just chat away.

was a tru believer of this music. I was also in the midst of doing business

globe. Please say a prayer for her and the Gavoor family.

Below are the arrangements for Laura -- I can not even start to contact all
of her friends and collegues with such short notice and hope that everyone
can forward this to people (especially international friends) that I might
not have email or contact info for.

There will be a visitation Thursday, October 3, from 1-4 and 6-9p at:
Fred Wood Funeral Home
36100 5 Mile
Livonia, MI
734-464-8060

The funeral service will be held Friday, October 4, at:
St. Sarkis Armenian Apostolic
19300 Ford Rd.
Dearborn, MI
313-336-6200
The time is still undetermined but will likely be around 10-11am. You can
arrive early if needed. I will try to update via email when the schedule is
finalized.

Please take time to pay your respects to her family and relatives -- many of
them do not understand the impact Laura had on the global dance music
community through her personal and professional efforts and how she
pioneered areas considered stardard today. It is important that we give back
to her by showing our support and letting her family know what she did for
each and every one of us as a friend and fan.

Her family has also arranged obituary listings in the Detroit News and Free
Press on Wednesday, Oct. 2 -- feel free to refer people to those as I think
they will have the same, if not more, information.

Regarding donations and gifts to the family, please send all items to:

The Gavoor Family
38294 Ladywood Ct.
Livonia, MI 48154

Please call me with any additional questions. Keleigh

(313) East Coast friends of Laura, come together

2002-10-02 Thread diana potts


 I've talked to some people on the East Coast who are
friends of Laura's but can't seem to find the means to
get to Detroit on Friday-where we feel we should be.

 I've talked to a friend, and we'd like to get a
tribute party together here on the East Coast. If we
all pull our resources together, we can make a party
happen that Laura would be proud of.

 If you are interested in playing, or donating a space
(or a night you run), please Email me directly. All
proceeds would go directly to Laura's family. All DJs
will play for free. We're estimating the party to be
in a few weeks when some people get back from
international travels.

thank you
diana

(313) Laura ...

2002-10-02 Thread Kent williams
I didn't get a chance to meet Laura, though I'm sure I was in the same
room with her more than once -- maybe when Claude Young played Motor a while
back.  I knew her from her 313 posts only, and anyone who wants to comb
thru the archives can get an idea of the sort of person she was. I'm sure
many of us can remember that one or two line private reply to a 313
post from Laura that put a smile on our faces with it's humor and
enthusiasm. Early on, before most of us, Laura knew the techno was more
than just party music, and her professional and personal efforts to promote
it to the world are beyond measure.

Her death made me think of what the far flung community we comprise means
to me, and it's something that I can't even begin to put into words.
The producers, the fans, the promoters, the writers who get it right --
this is a precious thing.  I make my jokes when I come to DEMF about it
being the techno equivalent of a beanie baby convention, but it's more
than that to me. It's family.

So thanks be to Laura Gavoor, and James Stinson, for enriching all of our
lives, and thanks be to all of you for letting the music pull you into the
circle. And thanks for the thousand kindnesses done to me by all the 313'ers
I won't mention by name, lest I forget someone.  We need to be thinking
about how precious each of is full time, not just when we lose someone.

(313) notebook for laura gavoor

2002-10-02 Thread Rob Theakston


Someone on this list who wishes to remain anonymous suggested privately the
idea that we give the Gavoor family a bounded
notebook filled with the 313 list's anecdotes, tributes and condoloences of
the late great Laura G. I think it's a very appropriate way to people to
pass on their wishes that can't be in the country or can't make the
visitation/funeral.
And even if you are going to be in town and would like to contribute, that's
cool too.

You don't necessarily have had to meet her either to participate. Even if
it's just a two line email passing on your condolences, I'm sure it would be
appreciated.

I'd be willing to spearhead this, so please send your privately (so as to
not waste bandwidth on people who hate bandwidth wasters) your thoughts and
I will bind them together and present it to the family when I go to the
visitation Thursday night.

Please have them in no later than Thursday afternoon EST.

Thanks.



Re: (313) notebook for laura gavoor

2002-10-02 Thread kathleen harris

I'm posting this because it states something that hasn't been stated yet.  

Laura was a _strong_ woman.  Confident, assertive and still in this society
let alone the microcosm of male dominance that is the techno scene this is not
taken well.  This is what made her controversial.  In thinking I realized that
even though it's been over a decade there still aren't alot of women like her
with any sort of presence in the scene.  Though I'm sure she would not want
to make an issue of this she helped forge a path that made it just a little
bit easier for women behind to follow.  I still lay claim to being a feminist
and so her exit to _me_ leaves 
a gaping hole that will be very difficult to fill.

(313) laura gavoor et al

2002-10-02 Thread Lester Kenyatta Spence
I haven't spoken to Laura via email for some time...and we've never met.
But when I heard about her passing it made me think of my best friend,
who was murdered a year ago last week.

Detroit in the eyes of many people is a wasteland.  Even listening to some
of the comments of May, Atkins, Mills, and Hawtin, one can easily get the
impression that people around the city are just biding their time to turn
the lights out.  People like Laura saw Detroit not only for what it
appeared to be, but also for what it was underneath the surface AND FOR
WHAT IT COULD BE.  In the face of an extended campaign to discredit and
disinform, people like Laura remain DEFIANT, RELENTLESS, UNBOWED, and
UNBROKEN...while at the same time expressing a joy for life simply
unmatched by any of the rat bast*rds out to sh*t on the city.

I teach an Introduction to African American Studies class.  Today we
talked about Plessy v. Ferguson...for those who aren't familiar, Plessy
was a shoemaker in 1890's Louisiana and he tried to sue to have a racist
policy of separating whites and blacks on public transportation
dismantled.  He didn't win...but the kicker to me is the following: Plessy
was 7/8 white.  He could have simply passed for white and lived a life of
relative privilege.

But he didn't.  Not only did he claim his blackness, he FOUGHT for black
people.

Now I don't know Laura personally.  Don't know if she's black or white,
tall or short, big or small.

I do know this though.  Where the path of least resistance in relation to
Detroit and Detroit techno is to simply pass Laura stayed...living,
loving, and KICKING *SS.  We'd do well to follow her path.

She will be sorely missed.
