sometimes things happen for a reason and life sends you on a journey to change directions...
{a sneak peak of a portrait session of local musican, Dwight Anthony}
there is a little gem on 22nd & michigan. it was introduced to me by mark hetzel, a friend & aspiring gifted photographer a few months back. fred anderson, the voice behind the famous velvet lounge, recently died this spring. mark & i decided to document some of the players; those that keep it running today, along with the dedicated staff. please keep it alive by supporting it ... experimental jazz that makes you vibrate...
"The Velet Lounge is one of those places where they were able to play their craft, feel confident in what they were doing, and play their own music in thier own way. So I think that should be my legacy. It will be going on for generations and generations." -fred anderson
thank you mark for introducing me to this & for teaching me to see a little different with my ears.
there are those moments when all sights, sounds, and tastes flow in a rhythm, synchronized in beauty.
while standing in an amazing book store that came up as a gallery in chelsea ny, on my yelp iphone app, i found myself in this moment. the taste factor may have been somewhat absent, however the smell of paper was enough to intoxicate my love glands...is that possible? conor and i had made our way into printed matter : a book store that houses artists' publications along with a few old posters. to top off the bizarre & beautiful scavenger hunt i was going through in this store/gallery, my ears tuned into the music playing on the boom box - it quickly shazamed it to find out it was a record released just a week prior. it wasn't until tonight, while working to it that conor said "i swear this is by someone at animal collective," so i took a look. black noise, by panta du prince, happens to be an album by a german dj who collaborates with Noah Lennox of Animal Collective, Tyler Pope of !!! & LCD Soundsystem. i am a huge fan of animal collective and LCD Soundsystem, so it's no surprise that this is the case. like many, there are so many genres of music i adore, but this is a new release that i think is great to crank away to - whether it's working, driving, meditating to, etc...and to let you know about. enjoy.
