Playing the Building

Music legend David Byrne transforms an entire NYC building into a giant musical instrument. In the video above, David Byrne turns an entire New York building into an instrument. He explains, “Devices [have been] attached to the building’s structure — to the metal beams and pillars, the heating pipes, the water pipes — and are used to make these things produce sound. The activations are of three types: wind, vibration, striking. The devices cause the building elements to vibrate, resonate and oscillate so that the building itself becomes a very large musical instrument.”

Steampunk

Sometimes high tech just gets too glossy, too fussy, too plasticy and some of us long for the gears and real-world widgets of the past. Enter Steampunk, the subculture that simultaneously embraces burlap and iPhones. Jake von Slatt, the man behind it all documents projects outfitting new technology with a burnished Victorian edge: a computer keyboard, a flat-panel monitor, even a motorcycle!

Rent, Shopping...

Bizarre... All of a sudden these 2 songs from PSB just popped up in my mind. One about mercenary love and the other where money can buy you certain happiness. The love for consumerism, or consumerism as a way of life?

"We never-ever argue, we never calculate, the currency we've spent..."

Double Negative: Cloverfield

Despite the film's weak plot, the special effects behind the movie is astounding. Double Negative was responsible for most of the effects on the movie. As the website stated "Double Negative's main task was to wreak destructive havoc upon New York City. Complex digital environments were built and then attacked with a variety of CG tools."

The company has also worked on Batman Begins, Hot Fuzz, and even The Bourne Ultimatum. You can catch the entire behind-the-scenes documentary on the movie's DVD release, it's worth the time.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club) is a movie adaptation of the 1922 short story "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, regarded as one of the twentieth century's great writers.

Fitzgerald's short story first appeared in the 27 May 1922 edition of Collier's Weekly. Fitzgerald noted that "This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain’s to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end." Read the original transcript, brilliant story and film adaptation.

Hard Format

Reaching for the sublime in music design.

"It seems like everybody’s talking about the end of physical music media. Who knows whether they’re right or not, but Hard Format is a little place we’ve set up to celebrate our love of brilliant music-related design. That means we’re going to focus on records, CDs, cassettes and their like. However, Hard Format isn’t intended to become a dusty museum devoted exclusively to past glories, though there’ll certainly be some of that, we also want to highlight the brilliant new design work being produced right now.

In fact, we’re not setting ourselves up to supply a canon of classic design - this is a place where we record stuff we like, if you want yet another reproduction of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band there are enough ‘Greatest album covers of all time’ books out there already." - Justin and Colin, Hard Format.

Akasha - Brown Sugar (1997)

Let me announce myself...
They call me Brown Sugar.
But to those who know me, I am love.

A fine downtempo/trip-hop single that I can always listen to and putting it on repeat mode. Taken from Akasha's 1997 debut LP, Cinematique. Les Rythmes Digitales (Jacques Lu Cont) & PFM also did an excellent rework on the original.

The biggest drawing in the world

Erik Nordenankar wanted to make the biggest drawing in the world. So he took a suitcase with a GPS tracking device and gave exact instructions to DHL of where to ship this suitcase and in what order. By tracking the device through 62 countries and six continents and recording the travel route on the map, Erik made a self portrait of himself. C'mon guys sponsor him, its a fucking brilliant idea.
