Post a comment

audi-shark-01 The Audi Shark is the most attractive and creative design in the design competition co-sponsored by Audi and Milan’s Domus Academy. The two-seater flying sport automobile is inspired by motorcycles and airplanes, and designed both with the future technology and today’s conditions. Looking at the Shark, it’s easy to catch glimpses of the R8, TT and S5 but with an ultra-modern twist.

Urban Abstract

Post a comment

urban-abstract-1 Urban Abstract was born in Tokyo during 2009. It consists of 40 X five second clips or it can be viewed as a one 200 second journey across urban space. The journey, in one, two and three dimensions, is a bit like abstract surfing in which the original destination is only reached after a number of seemingly random yet linked detours occur. Points , lines, planes and other abstract elements create a journey through an Urban Abstract.

philip-glass-symphony-no-3-chaotic-madness-abstract-1 Symphony No. 3 (1995) was commissioned by the Würth Foundation for the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra; première February 5, 1995, by the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, Künzelsau, Germany. Composed for the 19 string players of the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, Philip Glass's Symphony No. 3 was designed to treat every musician as a soloist. "The work fell naturally into a four-movement form," Mr. Glass has written, "and even given the nature of the ensemble and solo writing, [it] seems to have the structure of a true symphony."

Mogwai - Mogwai Fear Satan

Oct 31, 2009
Post a comment

mogwai-fear-satan-group Mogwai Fear Satan is a long guitar-based instrumental, using basic rock instrumentation; guitars, bass, and drums, along with flute that begins with a guitar melody played by Stuart Braithwaite and John Cummings, which is soon joined by bass played by Dominic Aitchison and a frantic drumbeat played by Martin Bulloch, which fades gradually in. The same guitar melody is repeated throughout the song; at times almost frighteningly distorted. During the quiet parts of the song, in the build up to the explosion of sonic noise and feedback which Mogwai are known for, there is a quiet haunting flute melody played by Shona Brown over tribal-sounding drums. The song slowly fades out into feedback and noise.

vio-spilum-endalaust-2 A trip across Paris in a van. Lost drumsticks. A cafe you'd never expect to visit before the age of 60. An hour of waiting, and then, voilà - a few notes on the harmonium, a grand piano, a heavenly voice. Sigur Ros on a Take Away Show.

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago group It's hard to believe that the album "For Emma, Forever Ago" is the work of one man. But when Justin Vernon's old band split he hauled himself (and presumably plenty of instruments and recording equipment) to his dad's hunting cabin in the woods of Wisconsin for the coldest season and worked through his issues in musical form. And so the name boniver was borne from the French for "good winter"--"bon hiver". Like Dylan, Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver (it's a one-man show) understands that simple, acoustic-led arrangements married with lyrical depth can really pack a punch.

Faberge Jewels Fire Bird Brooch Fabergé, the Russian jeweler known for its jewel-encrusted Easter eggs, selected Parisian artist-jeweler Frederic Zaavy to create an initial collection of 100 items at his studio in Paris. The collection uses hundreds or thousands of tiny gems on each piece to create mosaic effects on rings, brooches, earrings and necklaces. The collection ranges from $58,000 to $10 million. Featured here is one of Tatiana Fabergé’s favorite pieces in the collection, a $335,000 Fire Bird Brooch. Though it took 92 years for this privately-held group to cross its boundaries, the group has hit the right spot by targeting the high-end clientele through the web.
