More precise, Los Angeles based music artists and friends Letters in Numbers chose my painting 080628 as the cover of their fresh released, super-mind blowing and mega-energizing album “Crashing”.
Some favorites of mine: ” Random Event in Time Pt.2″ and “Tart” which is from the first album.
If you like it electronic, if you like distorted e-guitars, if you like it all in one track, if you like strong and powerful statements, if you like down beat and speed in a startling alteration, if you like house, if you tend to be the person that gets up, stops any conversation, cancels any orders at the bar to make it to the dance floor on time when you are hit by a certain kind of sound, if you REALLY like synthesizer sounds and you aren’t sure if you felt more drawn to the music or the pictures of all those Sci-Fi movies from the 80ies- this might be of interest to you.
In this context I found some pretty sounds by Reactable.
Minimalism here I come. I was looking for this music instrument that was just a small black stick and would react to any approaching person by giving buzzing synthetic sounds. Once I saw a performance with it in the MAK in Vienna but I just can’t remember the name of the instrument. Something like muk, wuk,wok,mok,… three letters if I recall right. It was so fascinating. If you know what I am talking about please help me out.

A minute after the freeway exit you pass the Hitching Post, which you might remember from the movie “Sideways” – a personal favorite of mine.
Solvang itself is a nice little and buzzing town with a astonishing gallery as I discovered. The Artist Chris Pavlov, who is also the owner of the Pavlov Art Gallery, shows European artists ( France, Montenegro and Macedonia ) , as well as local artists and is focused on impressionistic and contemporary art.
My favorite painting, indicated by the red arrow below, is rich in structure and very complex in color. I am still guessing around how the artist actually applied the different layers of color onto the very structured surface and it might remain a puzzle but is fascinating none the less.
