Until We Meet Again

May all of your dreams and determination take you wherever you wish to go

Kahles and Blaser

I recently discovered some of my favorite scores (including the bizarre and beautiful Ring of Fire)were all the great work of Steffen Kahles, often with his composing partner Christoph Blaser.

Take a listen, and see if you don't want to check out the movies after hearing these.

Finnish Tango

Ring of Fire (I originally posted this film in short back in November 2012)

La Luna

A boy's first day on the job of the family business is more beautiful than any one of us could imagine.

Sampling the Look

Some Hip Hop artists cover samples, and some sample covers.

Iris Chacon

The tradition of limited vocal ability disguised by interesting presentation goes back decades before all these little tarts today decided they were going to be “original” and “do something different.”

Iris Chacon gives some interesting performances of otherwise sometimes pretty songs

If Bob Ross had tattoos...

I found this surprisingly soothing, encouraging and inspiring like watching the Joy of Painting with Bob Ross.

Glen Weisgerber made me feel like I could do this, but he also relaxed me too much to bother
trying.

Check out these hand painted letterforms.

The Art of Ninquelan

Ninquelan’s art is right up my alley: dark colors brought together is vibrant and skin prickling but still soothing.

Double Dream Hands

People make fun of this but if you do it twice (once for each arm) during your morning break, it kind of breaks up the day. Thank you John Jacobson

 

And if you want a bit more challenge (less cueing), try Double Dream Feet

I See You

How beautiful is the natural array of human eye color?

Think of what music videos and fashion spreads usually do when they want to show you something different than the so-called standard beauty and ask yourself have you ever seen anything like this?
