Katy Perry Drawing finished

Here is the finished drawing of Katy Perry. I did this drawing 3 times, trying to get better each time. This one is still a little wonky, as the eye is a little high, but I’m satisfied with it enough to move on to something new. For more, see my other website The Critics Darling

French Electro duo Air creates score for a 100 year old Sci Fi film

In 1902 the first science fiction movie of significance was created called Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip To the Moon). It was not til recently however, that director Georges Melies’ hand painted color reels were recovered and refurbished for viewing.

The reason I’m excited about this, is because AIR was commissioned to create the music score for this 100 year old film. They had short notice to compose the music, and watched the film over and over for a month, to the point they said in an NPR interview, they felt like they were right there with the people from 1902 on the team. It must have felt a little like time travel. On the release night they were very “stage freight” about how the music would be received by audiences, given the importance of the film, but of course it was marvelous. AIR will be releasing their score in a few days, To read more about this and listen to the radio interview click on over to NPR music.

The Ann Arbor Folk Festival

I had a wonderful impromptu opportunity yesterday, to attend the Ann Arbor Folk Festival. What a wonderful event! Not only does is raise funds to support the non-profit music venue ,The Ark, it provided an evening of diverse and exceptional folk music. I was especially pleased to find out about the band Elephant Revival, as the peaceful music has a haunting historical sound to it, that is something new to me. Hear and example here. I’m hoping to go back to the Ark for their show in March.

I’ll cut to the chase and tell you my very favorite performance of the night was by the band Devotchka. Amazing stuff! I had become familiar with this band prior to attending the concert, due to good ol’ Pandora, which suggested Devotchka to me via my preference of Beruit. They use plenty of stringed and brass instruments, and have a foreign and bohemian sound, also described as a “lavishly theatrical circus band” delivering “made-for- Hollywood gypsy punk”. Below are a few examples for you to enjoy!

I couldn’t not love this one… so sweet!
