We had an amazing time at the Grand Opening of the new Seafood Restaurant, Blackbird, Kitchen & Bar. A beautiful historic and art deco building, completely rehabbed with a contemporary interior by Urban Design. The evening started off with delicious oyster tasting, lounge jazz, and a great selection of local brew with tantalizing cocktails into the night.

“Just like modular synthesizers, people connect with each other in order to achieve diverse objectives. In Voltage, robots, half-human and half-synthesizer, powered by a huge amount of energy, connect to each other in an electric and chaotic trance.” Bam.
Very cool animation from BAM studio, it’s great to see this subject get an artistic approach from a studio which connects the concept of sound and technology. We’d love to see a full animated movie with this concept.

“Sound” from SoundCloud on Vimeo.
Soundcloud, the music sharing platform has come a long-way in such a short time. Soundcloud has allowed just about any musician, DJ, label, artist to upload music, share and get an immediate reaction from many listeners in minutes. Soundcloud(artists) expresses how “sound” is part of our everyday lives, similarly how Soundcloud has become part of our everyday lives.
Every time we discover a new sound, a new feeling takes over us. We sometimes want to be the first of our friends to share this new discovery/feeling. As the capabilities of the Soundcloud’s users grows, the possibilities of social entertainment and self-promotion as an artist/label grows.
Always a treat to see video work from David Terranova, his latest project collides with TEED(totallyenormousextinctdinosaurs). Terranova’s past works with Rebel Rave and Richie Hawtin has landed him in the driver’s seat with creative works fusing his passion of music and video. Terranova translates dance music into timeless visual harmony.
““I say that I make dance music,” he tells the filmmakers. “But most people in dance music say that they make house, or techno, or tech house, or trance, or drum ‘n’ bass, or liquid drum ‘n’ bass. And if we just kind of woke up tomorrow morning and there were none of these genres, you just had your record collection in front of you, you didn’t know what any of it was called or where it came from, it wouldn’t matter, that would be great! And you’d probably write some amazing music, and you’d love some music that you’d never loved before, because all the connotations and the weird ideas you have about whether it’s cool, and where it comes from, and what scene it is, and who wrote it, and whether you’ve heard it before—those would just be gone. I like that idea.” Orlando Higgingbothom

Art & Sound at Terminal B ~ Live@Sacramento Intl Airport_09.2011 by alx-t
Alex Trujillo (ALX-T) ~ Sound mix performed at the Sacramento International Airport, honoring the commissioned artists/designers and the launch of the new terminal B.
The airport is a gathering place of human connectivity, time and travel. The sound of voices, birds, planes and nature can be heard throughout airports. Individuals find themselves waiting for departures to destinations(unknown). This project is intended to create a third place for passengers through art and technology. The sounds you hear in this mix are thoughts, memories and emotions conveyed through shape, color and movement. The repetitive and uptempo melodies are reminiscence of the constant movement we all endure on our worldly travels whether it’s to Paris, Berlin, New York or the white sands of Ibiza._ Alex Trujillo
Terminal B Artists: Lawrence Argent, Joan Moment, Camille Utterback & Michelle Higa, Ned Kahn, Marcia Stuermer, Suzanne Adan, Lynn Criswell, Living Lenses: Po Shu Wang & Louise Bertelsen, Gregory Kondos, Mildred Howard, Donald Lipski, Christian Moeller, Jaume Plensa.
