real.human.interface

it's been days now that i've bumped on this project. multitouch-barcelona. each time i see one of their video, i want to make a post. but i am bored of writing all the 'muble muble'. this night, i am more bored of reading about my exams, and i am doing everything else but reading. damn " 'water' course". so, as they claim: multitouch-barcelona is a recently born interaction design group that explores natural communication between people and technology. we design experiences that merge real and digital into a creative environment where people are invited to touch, play, move, feel as they do in the real world. work to mention: an interactive art installation, for the red bull music academy 08 & the participation to openroom of OFFF in 2008. think this project will match perfectly with the live of animal collective.
their last project called 'HI', is a real human interface. music by lullatone. genius and unique stuff.

wolf.club


~New collaboration. Wolf Club is Burial & Four Tet, two of the most innovative & beloved producers are together. And they bring us a single 12" with two tracks. Two tracks, full of emotion & urban atmosphere. U can listen music elements from both of the producers, such as tribal rhythms, building melodies, deep end female's vocals. My personal choice? Moth is just a killer. On repeat for the last hour. Is released by "text recordings" & here u can preview it.
~photos are from a great French artist, called C215. His stencils from all around the world (brooklyn, berlin, athens, new delhi, sao paolo, ..) have something revolutionary, something that moves u. Be sure to check out more of his work at flickr.


Σύνδεσμος~at last check this video, a really nice piece of art:

tamayom.museum


This is the cultural museum in Mexico, the Tamayom museum, designed by Rojkind Arquitectos and BIG (Copenhagen architects). It will be a kernel of education and culture - locally, regionally, and internationally- that will be overlooking the city from a big roof on the top of the building, which 'fits' perfectly to the topography of the area. The whole idea is a cube that is unfolded, and creates a lot of big spaces, which provide artists with the maximum freedom of expression and also plenty of natural lighting. For more infos & photos go here . .

On repeat at least for one hour, and every time seems to fit better & give u more.
And what if Moby sounds something like this? Then it would be definitely a very promising album. A clean, new start. Something to wait for . .

back.to.basics

Back to Athens/Patras, back to basics. Some days to Venice/Milano, had some rest & no daily thoughts. I think it is the first time of Easter not going to church, but if our church were something like this, i would have gone for sure. Don't know why i can't find these days any good music.photos.videos&generally art. Maybe is that i have no time in front of the pc, or maybe that i am thinking all that i have to do from now until august and my mood it turning shity.
Anyway. Here u can find some random, cool stuff. Press on each photo for further "infos".


& here is a last's night addiction.

It is like u are at a concert of joy division,but back in 2009. Or, on a wet scene of Manchester at the same time are members of interpol, radiohead, or portishead and they are improvising. You will not be impressed from the first listen. U have to give some time and more than one tries. Like I did. But i think u will be rewarded. Give a try here or here. They are 'The Horrors'.

While watching a video, discovered on net yesterday, i remember an artist that I admire much. Aus, Yasuhiko Fukuzono from Tokyo, is now 26 years old and has already released 7 albums. I 'discovered' him, while i was trying to find all the releases of "moteer" (the label of my beloved Manyfingers). The album that i listened first was Curvelands and it was love at first sight. He loves to re-discover and re-invent the nature of the sounds around him, over and over again. "It gives birth to new nature by changing the nature" quoted by this quirky composer.
I have to mention that he is not only a musician, but also a video artist. So far, he has crafted some of his most beautiful compositions for 6 films and short movies shot by Takafumi Tsuchiya.
An artist to follow. Check him for sure.
