The Art of Making, Alma Flamenca by Dimitris Ladopoulos


It takes 299 hours of concentration, woodworking sorcery, and sheer grit to build a flamenco guitar. Lucky for us, Vassilis Lazarides has already taken care of the hard part, and you can experience the entire process in a little over three minutes.

Have you seen the New Aesthetic? Everyone in the Twittersphere was talking about it. Depending on whom you ask, it was a “shareable concept,” (James Bridle) a “theory object,” (Bruce Sterling) and a “weird, hot, movement” (Ian Bogost). Or simply “things James Bridle posts to his Tumblr,” as Bogost quips — and to which we might add, “which got really popular really fast and I wish I knew what it actually was.” Bridle’s Tumblr became a SXSW talk in March 2012. And then a week later, Bruce Sterling wrote a 5,000-word opus on the New Aesthetic for Wired. As if to a younger sibling, praising and cautioning in equal measures, he contextualized the New Aesthetic as not just a Tumblred accumulation but the art movement 21st century creatives had desperately been waiting for. The essay was a flash point, prompting a flood of responses. What better empyrean spark than the convergence of SXSW and, as he describes himself on his Twitter bio, “one of the better known Bruce Sterlings”?

With everybody and their French bulldogs (not you Marseeah!) calling themselves photographers nowadays, it might be best indeed if cameras came with a self earned degree.

Pavlov’s Daughter | Regina Spektor

If I hear another song about angels,
If I see another feather on the dumb-box,
I’m gonna go to Babylon and get me some whiskey,
Gonna go to Babylon and get me some whiskey now…

My name is Lucille and I know how you feel.
I live downstairs, I hear you taking out your garbage,
I hear you loving your girlfriend, I hear you loving yourself too,
I hear you flushing your toilet,
I hear you turning your thoughts off…

And I turn mine off too, the only thing I hear is you.
And you don’t sound nice and you don’t sound right,
And you don’t sound good and you don’t sound right…

Symbol Audio Modern Record Console by Blake Tovin & Matt Richmond

The all-in-one hifi is back and in a big way! I’ve been waiting for someone to create a re-introduction to the record console since vinyl’s re-surge, but never expected it to be from one of my fellow classmates. Matt and I both went to SIUC where we studied Industrial Design. It is nice to see him carving a serious name for himself as a designer. (I am also just now learning that Matt designed the iVictrola )

The MRC is just one of three products launched this past week at ICFF by Symbol Audio, along with the Tabletop Hifi and LP Storage Cabinet. An impressive start to say the least. Considering I have already seen the above mentioned items plastered all over the blogging world, I would say they are off to a good start! I’ll be saving my money starting now, for one of everything please.

Best of luck to you Matt & Blake and I’m sure you will do well!
