Toronto’s Site for Rock Music and More
T-Mak World is the brainchild of Terry Makedon who thought it might be fun to review some of the things he loves. One thing led to another and this website now features a variety of contributors who share common interests.
We focus on Rock Music and provide concert reviews, interviews and CD reviews. Classic Rock is our specialty and passion.
Do you share our passion for music, technology and cool events around town? If so, we would love to hear your opinions and thoughts. Email us if you would like to provide a review of your own for sharing on our site.
If you have some cool technology, a game, a DVD, a CD, or an upcoming music event that you would like us to review and help promote, get in touch. Anything and everything is cool! We are based in Toronto, Canada but occasionally cover events across the world.
Enjoy the ride!
About Us
Terry Makedon
Editor In Chief
I have been working in tech since ’94, with most of those years spent at tech giants ATI and AMD in charge of software product management (i.e., the Catalyst suite) and marketing the software with over 300 million downloads. This site focuses on my passions which include music, movies, gaming, and technology. I am not a music critic, but a critical fan of good music and all my reviews are merely my opinion. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are what define me and my tastes best.
Tyrone Buccione
Music Editor
I am a musician in a Juno-nominated Canadian hard rock band called Diemonds. My experiences have taken me through some highs and lows of the business side of the music industry and the couches and floors of strangers on the road. I love Pink Floyd, Queen, Yes, Genesis, Led Zeppelin and enjoy writing about anything related to rock and or roll.
Karen Makedon
Cultural Editor / Photographer
I am passionate about rock music, travel, digital photography and foreign films. I am active in TIFF and a member of the Canadian National Exhibition Association (CNEA). You will find me blogging about the city’s hottest shows, launches, and events. Contact me to cover your next event.
Steve Mallinson
Senior Editor and Photographer
I am veteran of the electronics industry. As a guitar enthusiast, my tastes in music were defined by Page, Clapton and Hendrix. I am also a fan of The Who, Pink Floyd and far too many others to mention. You can also catch me at a Toronto Blue Jays game or watching Formula 1 racing.
Stephen Ruxton
Music Editor
In the 80’s I used to work as a live audio technician touring the Maritime provinces with local rock bands. I love the classic bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Queen and Rush. My background includes writing computer hardware reviews for popular websites Kit Guru and Hardware Heaven. I am a recovering video game addict that can no longer keep up with the constant changes in hardware needed to run today’s new releases. I love attending live concerts and I do what I can to support and promote the local live rock music scene in and around Halifax, Nova Scotia.
