A good partner in this weeks of hardcore work (and well, in entire life) is music and is better when you discover a rock/grunge turkish group called DUMAN thanks to bloody internet. I highly recommend Duman I and Duman II, his last records. I start this attraction to turkish culture thanks to Orhan Pamuk books and Im trying to know more about art from that country to adapt some concepts and ideas to my own artwork.
Heres some Duman songs:
And theres plenty more in Youtube.
autumn song from Renato on Vimeo.
Just a test.
I write this song 10 years ago (when I was a teenager in a music group called Letra Muerta -Dead Letter-) as response to Winter Song (Canción de Invierno) of Silvio Rodríguez. Both songs talk about people who resign to being themselves only to take a “safe” life.
Sorry for the crappy audio :(
This song (Belle & Sebastian) is around my mind since weeks, full of baseball references I still dont know why Im singing this at every day hour.
“The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
He knows the drink affects his speed, he’s praying for
a doorway
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Life outside the diamond is a wrench”
Hello. Im testing some audio host services, I want to start to post audio files, music from my workstation but I think that could be some problems with the copyright. For that reason I show a song written by me… yep, a copyrighted song that owns me. The song is called Laura and the band is Letra Muerta, I was a founder member but then drawing and comics comes to my life and thats another story… is a very bad audio but I hope you could enjoy it. UPDATE 2012: Audio file hosted here.
This is the worst month of my life, one of the last (and minor) things that happen was the total lost of 4 years of bookmarks in my browser. Blogs, amazing portfolios, resources, research… all lost. And yes, I use Firefox. Im recovering links in my free time… but theres a lot of things and themes!!
FUCK!!!
Anyway, I find this video that was posted on my old zamizdat blog in 2005, part of a french AIDS campaign…
The song is Baby, baby, baby from The Vibrators (insert joke here) a rocking english band of the 70`s. Article with more videos in Wired blog.
Since 3 weeks ago, my work has turned in something really interesting thanks to our new editor (Norma Cuéllar); I meet Norma randomly some years ago when I was starting as graphic designer, now we are working in a 98 pages magazine (and for that -and other things- my life is busybusybusy) about fashion, music, art, architecture and more.
Today we has a photoshot with Miguel Almaguer, a very young musician who has composed music for nearly 20 shortfilms (and 3 or 4 films), Miguel begun his piano lessons at the age of thirteen and have a lot of experience (if you dont believe me, please click in the link above). He gave us an article and Im gonna make an illustration for it… yeah babe!!
Our new raggaemuffin´ band, from left to right: Miguel, Norma, Mario and me.
Happy faces!
See you later… :)
One of Dylan´s most melancholic and sad videos.
