Finding Alice

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Outside my work hours, I have been putting a decent amount of time on my music project, Ouzel. This week, I have uploaded some new tracks online and mostly likely these will be included on the first ep to be released in the near future.

The above pic is from cover art for the individual song White Alice which is going to evolve into a concept album in months ahead. So look for more details on that project.

Opening up yet another fragment of the frontier of beauty.

One in 8 Million

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Things like this are just wonderful reminders that so many different people live on this planet. Over on New York Times website, they have this collection of interviews from people living in New York City. These simple interviews with supporting images are a true example of just the variety of people living in just one city. I know, it’s New York, but it just goes to show the differences that all of these people bring to one place. This is just the reason to get out there meet more people, to learn, listen, and to explore their minds. Then hopefully, I can see the world in a different manner, one that is for the better.

If you haven’t see Andrew Zuckerman’s Bird images, I would definitely recommend a little visit to at least the site. It’s incredible to see the amount of life within these birds, through their expressions and movements. Thanks for the inspiration Zuckerman!

Above is a picture of a Vulturine Guineafowl, one hell of a beautiful creature in motion. Check out the video below to view more of the birds in action.

Halloween is almost here, one day away. Above is a picture from a little pumpkin carving session at my place. It was fun, I haven’t done that in such a long time. I carved a simplified Boba Fett face and then we watched The Lost Boys, great movie! Now I have a day and a half to find my costume. Bring on the challenge.

Happy Birthday Cousin Jason!

Dysrhythmia

This past Tuesday I got to see Dysrhythmia play again for the second time here in Portland at the Rotture. What a show! These guys seriously melt some faces. They have just released a new album this past summer called Psychic Maps on Relapse Records and played “Festival of Popular Delusions” from it and gave that song a whole new breed of energy. With only three guys, they can give one hell of a power punch, Jeff wailing on the kit, Kevin shredding passages on the 6-string machine, and Colin playing the bass faster and more technical then most guitar players around.

Also from the night, a local band from Portland, With Eyes Abstract, opened up right before Dysrhythmia and grabbed my attention causing me to leave the show with both of there albums. Right up the alley with Dysrhythmia, With Eyes Abstract surely knows how to create some wild passages and patterns with only three dudes too. They just released a brand new album called Fire At The Library and if you enjoy the tunes of Dysrhythmia, I would definitely recommend these guys.

Above is the artwork from With Eyes Abstract’s: Fire At The Library album done by Eatcho. I really think it’s some fun stuff, you can check out more at their website.
