Dancefloor Diplomacy...We are ready

The experimental duo, which strongly supports creative inclusion and a frequent band member turnover, turned into a 20 person band for the purpose of “We Are Ready.” No man out. No instrument left behind. The track was recorded completely live (no sampling), and touches upon 38 different songs often featuring well over 10 instruments simultaneously, including a small choir of voices.






The 38 songs are: Aphex Twin “Jynweythek Ylow” • Blur “Song 2″ • Britney Spears “Toxic” • Broken Social Scene “Pacific Theme” • Claude Debussy “Clair de Lune” • Deerhunter “Desire Lines” • DMX “What’s My Name” • Dr. Dre “Kush” & “What’s the Difference” • DJ Shadow “Building Steam With a Grain of Salt” • Fabolous “Breathe” • Flying Lotus “Massage Situation” • Franz Schubert “Der Doppelganger” • Fugees “Ready or Not” • Girl Talk “Hold Up” • Holy Other “Touch” • Hot Chip “Ready for the Floor” • Joanna Newsom “Peach Plum Pear” • Julee Cruise “Falling” • King Harvest “Dancing in the Moonlight” • Lady GaGa “Telephone” • Lee Erwin “Thief of Baghdad” • Ludacris “Move” • Massive Attack “Teardrop” • Mount Kimbie “Maybes” • Nas “Represent” • Otis Redding “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” • P. Diddy “Bad Boys For Life” • Ratatat “Seventeen Years” • RJD2 “1976″ • The Bloody Beetroots “Butter” • TV on the Radio “Staring at the Sun (EP Version)” • White Stripes “Seven Nation Army” • Yasunori Mitsuda “Wind Scene”


 At its debut at Manhattan’s Lower East Side’s Anthology Film Archives, early last March, the song and video accompaniment received critical acclaim.  For now I'm eagerly awaiting their next masterpiece...

Psychedelic Clash...

A gorgeous editorial, mixing up floral, animal and psychedelic 70s prints, featuring (one of the trendiest models of the moment) Charlotte Free, with an amazing styling work by Grace Cobb and photography by Elena Rendina for Wonderland Magazine Dec. 2011












Complex Geometries

While the look of complexgeometries is distinctive, every aesthetic choice is just as much a conceptual one. Using traditional streetwear as a starting point, the designs examine clothing as a consumer product and as a method of communication, implicating the garments themselves in the everyday lives that inspire them.
