I saw a video for the song ‘Dragonfly’ from Porcelain Raft a few months back and thought it was just amazing, like a Lynchian dream. (http://vimeo.com/13864775). Looked up the creator of it on a whim and she agreed to do one for us. I’m really happy with how it came out.

Calling all architects and those with friends who are, a project I did development for is now live. Its an architectural design competition for proposals to rebuild a stretch of land near Levittown or an area near Huntington Stating off the LIRR. Some really nice prizes and a chance to get involved with shaping the future of suburban landscapes.
The site was developed from the design work and direction from the great 10x. The whole thing came together quite nicely.
The older I get the more I look for simplicity. That’s true for music, cooking, code writing, designing, you name it. Spaces and blanks seems to resonate and calm me. I’m forever looking at my apartment and wanting to throw everything out or put everything into a basement and pull out things one by one based on if I deem them worthy to remain part of my life.
So I love it when I see/hear/taste things that share the same aesthetic. And from time to time I’ll be posting them here. The current thing is this song ‘Three’ by Gregor Samsa. Its a simple keyboard line with a vibraphone hit and a super-hushed vocal. And its amazing. Like a perfect DOC margherita pizza or a simply-made bourbon cocktail.
