The Ice Book by Davy and Kristin McGuire

The Ice Book from Davy and Kristin McGuire on Vimeo.


"The Ice Book is the story of a princess who lures a boy into the forest in order to warm her heart of ice.

The performance blends animation, puppetry, and film to bring a pop-up book vividly to life in front of the audience's eyes."

Mercedez Benz ad
















Left Brain:
"I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am."

Right Brain:
"I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet. I am movement. Vivid Colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be."

Hajar och rockor

"Även i svenska vatten finns hajar och rockor. Nu beskrivs de allihop i nästa band av Nationalnyckeln, det stora uppslagsverket om Sveriges flora och fauna.
[...]
I dag finns omkring tusen arter av broskfiskar, varav ett trettiotal har påträffats utanför Sveriges kuster.
– Men det är cirka tio arter som man vet förökar sig i våra vatten."

A magnificent and sublime piece of music.

Year Of No Light - Persephone I (Live)

Agnosia






















Recension från Rstvideo.com
"...en film som har beskrivits som en film för alla som gillade Pan’s Labyrinth och The Orphanage och vilken filmälskare gjorde inte det?
Det finns faktiskt en anledning till detta förutom faktumet att filmen är spansk och ser ut att påminna om dom både tidigare nämnda filmerna. Det är nämligen så att producenten Álvaro Augustín tidigare producerat både Pan’s Labyrinth och The Orphanage och dessutom Alejandro Amenábars senaste film som Agora.
Som om det inte vore nog så här Guillermo Del Toro flera gånger sagt att Eugenio Mira är en regissör man verkligen borde ha koll på och manuset till Agnosia är skrivet av Antonio Trashorras som även skrev manus till Del Toros The Devil’s Backbone"


Via Slackerwood
"The producers of Pan's Labyrinth and The Orphanage brought another suspenseful story to Fantastic Fest with Agnosia. It is a visually stunning and elegant period piece about Joana Prats, a young woman whose childhood bout with encephalitis leaves her stricken with agnosia, a strange neuropsychological illness that affects her perception."

Roy Andersson måttligt imponerad av dagens reklamfilmer

"I dag är filmerna överlastade och sönderpratade med tröttsamma speakers. Man vill hålla för öronen. [...] Det är långt mellan minnesvärda reklamfilmer i dag. Tyvärr."

Lord of the Logos














Product description from Amazon:
"Fans of underground black metal music call Christophe Szpajdel the Lord of the Logos. This eponymous book is a collection of hundreds of Szpajdel's powerful logos, each of which captures the force of this genre anew. [...] Through his use of unusual aesthetic influences, Szpajdel has brought a new dynamic into the gothic visuality of heavy metal. He has not only succeeded in leaving his own visual mark on this music, but has expanded the canon of forms it uses."






Bach - Matteuspassionen

P3 Lab nedlagt

Via mail-kontakt med Sveriges Radio bekräftas att programmet P3 Lab (tidigare P3 Demo) numera är nedlagt. Lite synd kan jag tycka då det var ett av få program där oetablerade kan få sin musik spelad och så för en relativt stor publik.
