Audio Highlight - Desire - Mirror Mirror

  On my first audio highlight, I made it clear that I have a WIDE variety of musical tastes. With that reminder, I present to you Desire. Desire is the brainchild of Johnny Jewel (Chromatics, Italians Do It Better, Glass Candy). After moving out of Portland he met the pure voice of singer Megan Louise in Montreal. Together, they've fashioned a beautiful disco vibe perfect for a nighttime cruise.
  Enjoy!

Vienna, Austria

  I just happen to be in Vienna this week for work. Here are a few shots I've taken so far while walking the streets.

Audio Highlight - Lusine Icl - Without Standing

Today I highlight one of my favorite ambient artists. Lusine Icl specializes in ambient and electronic music. His electronic work is authored under Lusine and his ambient pieces are authored by Lusine Icl. As Lusine Icl, Jeff McIlwain exhibits significant tones and emotion through his passion for field recordings and his electronic background.

The song I am featuring today is called 'Without Standing' from Lusine Icl's album "Language Barrier". This song especially has always had a sweet spot with me. I feel like it's open to all imagination. As if no dream is distant. The small tastes of piano are so artfully inserted. They sound like raindrops feel. Layered on top an eery bed of synth, this track makes me picture a beautiful apocalyptic love story. It's my go-to song as I drive through the city of Chicago late at night during a rain storm. I perceive a world of opportunity; a place that's just a small reach away.

Behind The Edit - Mazda 3

Check out my first tutorial ever! It's a pretty in-depth photograph that is composited, so I was able to do it "quickly" and keep it under an hour. So if you're not up for watching the entire video, feel free to scrub through it and hopefully you'll grab a few neat tips and tricks of mine.

Audio Highlight- Todd Terje - Inspector Norse

  I've decided to start doing what I'm going to style as "Audio Highlights". The idea sparked when my friend Kelsey acquainted to my love for music and art of emotions it portrays. I'm excited to share with you music that has lent a helping hand to me when I'm feeling dejected, music that sat with me from the stars of Utah's canyons to the fizzy Las Vegas brilliance. You'll see a wide variety of genres featured in my audio highlights; ranging from electronic 80's funk to the beauty of ambient jazz.

  Today I start my reviews with one of my favorite songs to dance to. Within the first 10 seconds, you swiftly get wrapped up in a beautiful toe-tapping bass-line. The arcade-like bass-line prompted visions of the show 'How It's Made'. I can see the potato chip coming off the conveyor belt now.
  This song makes me feel like no matter where I am in life, I'm exactly where I am suppose to be in full contentment. The builds are very enchanting. They don't lie or mislead you in anyway.
  My favorite part of the song is unquestionably the epic fullness of 3:36. 

  I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. It's certainly helped put a smile on my face in many occasions.

  Please let me know what you think of the idea of me doing audio highlights. I may keep this thing goin ;)
