Pax & Pry. A Day Off.

Last night I had the pleasure of enjoying the release (party) of the new album, “A Day Off” by Pax & Pry.

This album is fresh. I’ve been listening to it all day. As an audiophile, with a great preference for instrumental music, the first thing I focus on when picking up a record is the beats. With a blend of an epic soundtrack feel ( the track “Love Shit (Take It High) makes you feel like you’re listening to the beginning of a great movie ), with a little bit of goodmorning vibes ( the track “Wake Up” - together with Kyteman) and the day you decided to take a break off from all the madness ( A Day Off … great ass bassline ).

And I must say … absolutely fresh. Pry delivered a strong piece of work with this one.

But hey, let’s not forget the lyrics. After all, next to the beat, there is the lyrical content. Take a moment out of your busy day, and take the time to listen to the lyrics brought by a voice which I feel should get ready to go international. Mr Pax brings the whole thing to a finish, complete, signed sealed delivered and ready to go.

Even though it’s raining outside, it feels like summer in my head listening to this album.

Listen and download that shit at their website:

And hey, if you got some cash to spare, be sure to buy that ish on vynil.

And I’m out.
Peace!

It was Bernice’s birthday and after that we went to Rof! I had my camera with me, and took shots. I selected 17 out of them.

See them here

Peace!

Life.

I want the world to be quiet when it’s loud, and I want it to be loud when it’s quiet. I sleep when I should be awake, and I am awake when I should be sleeping. It’s like my world is a constant paradox, back and forth, forth and back, and foreward again. Wishing my life, my thoughts, and my feelings could just go straight ahead instead of fluxuating every single second.

Put my headphones on, this world I ignore.
Destination uptown.

Kyteman

Today I am going to talk about Kyteman ( real name Colin Benders ).

His album “The Hermit Sessions” dropped February 20th, and I must say, I am impressed. I had the privelege of seeing his show back in October, when he played live with his entire orchestra. Having been to many shows in my life, I must say this is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Without sounding like a fan girl, this project is one of the most original, innovating and most of all refreshing I have ever had the joy of encountering.

Basically what it boils down to is the following: I can’t explain what his music is, what the live show is like - it’s like trying to explain to someone what it feels like to look at the sunset.

So.

I suggest, to all of you who have no idea who Kyteman is, go check out his ill website which was designed by Festina Lentemedia and Baster.

Colin?
Keep it up.

Hiatus!

As you perhaps might have noticed, my website is down.

I have given the extremely short description of the work represented on my website - I no longer feel connected to it. I have been creating purely for aesthetics, instead of also creating for the love of form and function, or having a message to spread.Even though my voice is one out of many, I feel like I have more to give and it is time to unlock new adventures within myself and in my work. I have been standing still because as a creator I have been consumed by fear. Always afraid of what other people might think about my work, if other people would like my work, how many hits I would get or how many comments.

I no longer get satisfaction from such sort actions or creations. I find them boring and have no pride in any of my work created what so ever, because most of it has not come from the art.My project “My Little Blue Crackbook”, is perhaps the FIRST thing I have ever created which I am actually proud of.

While I go in search of new paths, I will update my blog more often, since my website is no longer needed at the moment. I have nothing worth showing, that I actually carry out with pride.
I have discovered that at the age of 23, where most of my peers are already miles ahead of me, I am still at the beginning of something new.
And I hope you will be here for the ride.

Have a great one.
