HAHAHAHAHHAHAA.




Here's a cool interview of Stimming, Dj / Electronic artist from Germany. (2nd vid)
If I never met Csaba, I don't think I will get to know this talented artist.
From his work and interviews, you can tell that he is really precise,
he got his strong thinking behind how his music should be and fell by audiences.
This video of him playing using 4DSOUND founded by Paul Oomen is really awesome,
gigs like this is a +++, MUST GO!!!
It's sensational!!! These pillar like speakers are installed in different places,
this changes the experiences of the sound controlled by the DJ on tablets.
Check how the sound system works below!
To him, it's not only beats and waves. It's definitely more than that.
Hello, he listens to classical.

ARGH! He's so cool and cute! OHHH FAINT.

Goosebumps

You must know Akira (1988) and Ghost in The Shell if you're into cyberpunk.

And if you're into percussion, wow.

Was digging out the soundtrack again few days ago and wow, goosebumps all way long.

I checked some interviews and videos about the making of Akira's soundtracks, found out that
they are actually influenced by Bali's percussion instruments!
The music composer and founder of Geinoh Yamashirogumi is actually a Japanese artist and Scientist. WOW!!!!
I like the way the composers compose music for this 2 animations.
Very strong cultural and spiritual music, sci-fi yet authentic, futuristic but still traditional in some ways.
I love the choir + simple percussion line in Kaneda's theme, URGH!!!!

Also I personally think the idea of the line Kiyoko says in Akira (1988)
"the thing about Akira's power is everyone has it at the start." is the same as Lucy (2014) 's concept
of exploring the limits of using human brains. 
Just that Lucy is more scientific. 
Like, actually everyone is able to expand and control the "power" beneath them if they know how to do so.
Scientifically this theory is not proven but it's a futuristic sci fi thought of 
the future of humans and technology. Very interesting. 
Who knows what will happen in the future? 
*AKIRA VS LUCY* JENG JENG JENG*

Inspiring isn't it?
I admire how the Japanese think about the future, in manga and animations.
Like Paprika (2006) VS Inception (2010).
Seriously Paprika needs to be more recognised!
Here's a blog post writing about the difference between Paprika and Inception.

"Paprika and Inception are films based on essentially the same concept: that a technology has been created which can access people’s dreams, people can watch others’ dreams and enter them. InPaprika, the technology is in the hands of scientists but is stolen by a criminal who hacks into dreams, controlling people and causing reality-bending chaos. Inception uses similar ideas but the dream-hacking technology is used by warring bands of super intelligent bandits and strange secret organisations to hack into the dreams of the rich and powerful in order to subtly influence them. Really, the two stories go in fairly different directions from the outset."

After all these written stuff, it reminded me of the live-action remake of Mamoru Oshii's 1995 anime masterpiece, Ghost in the Shell.

Actually I am very disappointed when they select Scarlett Johansson to play the 

main character of Ghost In The Shell in the film remake, probably releasing in 2017.

It confuses my interpretation of the original animation.

The cultural background, OST etc.

It will be westernised. Not that authentic anymore. So sad. :(

It's one of the classic in japanese animation man. 

I'm happy that Akira will remain the same, no remakes.

So, enjoy :

Chilly Gonzales

I found him few years ago, before he helped Daft Punk with their new album.
Got no idea how I found his music on youtube, hahaha.

I love his Piano Solo album.
Here's a link to his live concert in Munich, free download via soundcloud.
Live performance is exciting, he added new stuff and made his work a twist!
So yeah, anyone who likes piano, check it out :

Andrew Bird

In case you don't know Andrew Bird, the American instrumental musician.
Argh, another great musician.
Those Violin. ARGH.

Owen Pallett

I'm not sure who I knew first, Andrew Bird or Owen Pallett,
but I'm always fascinated by Owen's music.
Sometimes he has this Orchestral and electronical mix in his works.
Fantasy folkish feeling, I like it. And his previous album is pretty cute,
many funny song titles.
They're really nice.
I missed his performance in London, sigh. I love him. MAN!!!!!

We could get lost.

"Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost"

Sounds very sexual.

AHHAAAAAHAHA.

STRESS

Seriously.
Too much stress for tonight and too much mood swing.
I can't help it, no one to comfort me no one can help me.

Oh man. I almost exploded.

My brain is so empty right now.
I can only listen to piano music right now.
I need to make some tea to chill. My eyes are going to burst soon if I don't to it.

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ROMANCE

 OH MY. One of my best night ever.
Boho Fau and Elevated's albums are good!!!

I haven't sleep but.
I AM FEELING DAMN GOOD RIGHT NOW, DAMN GOOD! ( ಠ◡ಠ )

Chinese tunes

哦。好烦恼。

在写最后的论文，所以特别压力，

但还好我这次没有自我毁灭，我选的题目是我爱的。

幸好教授接受了。太好了咯。

我很少听华语歌，刚刚忽然想听听。。

翻翻 itunes, 想起了他们。
第一个，这三首playlist里德都很好听。
第二个，我相信我有post过。喜欢哦。。就觉得她的声音不是那种小女孩的。
我也喜欢Joanna Wang, 就是不像Olivia Ong。
Joanna Wang的声音有魅力多了啦，就像她自己的look, 不是超级美女但是就是不错。
好耐看，好耐听。

他们都好适合在晚上听。
也很适合写作时候。。

现在听了，我觉得有灵感继续写咯。
拜～

* Holiday Song *

SO finally, we finally got our butts sitting in a relax mode.
Took us about 15-20 minutes to reach our resort, Pangkor Island Beach Resort.
There's a special ferry to take us there privately with other tourists, not bad.
Quite a lot of China tourists yo! Not couple couple, is a whole huge family!
Maybe it's weekdays, not much tourist around.

I miss you

I miss you, Ai Misshu, by Shing 02 + Yakkle.

Wow, just found this song and I'm in love!
Shing 02 always have great collaborations with Nujabes and this, mmm~
Jazz + hip hop.
Love song!
The sample is gold okay!!!! Lovely flow and vibes.
LOVE! I'm in a love mode now.



"I want to say, in so many languages,
it's delicious, or I miss you, I adore you
when we part I go crazy, I picture your side profile
now what do I do with my spare time
our mutual love, the synergistic effect
oh, dear universe please grant my wish"
