Immaterials: Light painting WiFi from Timo on Vimeo.

thought this is crazy

I'm finding my blog more and more useful to keep a record of inspiring videos. Im slow to upload my work in progress as im going through a phase of only wanting to show something polished and perfect. not sure why I'm so keen to impress so much?

Ive started using Pinterest as a great way to record and review inspiration
feel free to have a browse!

ridiculous but brilliant



just for a bit of a laugh

stumbled across this researching into visualising music for Insomniax [more on that soon!] but i just thought this was brilliantly amazingly stupid and amazing.

Visualising music-orchestra



fascinating take on visualising music. big thanks to jinny lu for the link!

Encouraging speech



Really encouraging speech from neil gaiman about going into working in the arts, i feel it has a lot of relevancy to any creative practice, from design to film making, music or photography.

encouraging and reassuring

Lullatone - crazy music visuals

Cymatics - Visualising sound



This is really interesting to me, I am looking into visualising music and seeing how people have interepreted visualising music. This very scientific approach is an interesting take, i like it, but I'm more interested in the themes / social issues raised by each song-what the comment and story within the song is, what vibe and comment its communication. my first thoughts suggest this is a more valid approach to tacking this problem

First Interview with FAD

My first interview, with FAD art news. Really interesting questions, found it really made me think and formulate how I approach my work and what defines me in the design side and more artistic side.
