If there is ONE mix you need to listen to this year, it will undoubtedly be this one. The new two hour long Essential Mix by Chilean New York Native, Nicolas Jaar is nothing short of breathtaking. Jaar emotional approach to experimenting with sounds or silence for that matter, brings a level of creativity very few can match. He explains:

“I’ve watched Jurassic Park twice in my life – once when I was six and the second time a couple of weeks ago. It inspired me to think about how gaps in time change our way of perceiving.”

This adventurous tracklist comprised of two hours of music, may seem random at first glance, but results into a wave of coherent minimalism in layers of ambient music, classically inclined electronica, all wrapped up in soft but tangible drum patterns. You will hear Jay-Z, Aphex Twin, Marvin Gaye, Just Friends, My Girl and Me (probably Jaar), *NSYNC and a number of Jaar-related tracks and edits.

curiositycounts: Stunning photography and a beautiful example of why freedom of expression is essential to protect. “Muslim-Canadian Sooraya Graham, a fine arts student at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C., didn’t expect to find herself in the middle of a virtual hostage-taking when her project for a photography class was hung in the hallways of the university’s art department. Her photo, a mural print of a woman wearing full Islamic dress and holding a bra in her hands while folding laundry, was ripped off the wall by an outraged university staffer.” Full story.

even if you’re a sceptic who thinks her parents wrote the speech, the idea of a 12 yr old speaking these words is enough to make it a worthwhile listen.

Up Close & Personal: #612 CERTIFIED COPY (dir. Abbas Kiarostami) 2010

Certified Copy is one of the best films ever made (and yet, not quite my favorite Kiarostami). the inside of Criterion’s blu-ray could have been made out of wet industrial cardboard and i still would have been ecstatic to have it. fortunately for us all, it’s made out of dry industrial cardboard the simple package contains a lovely essay and some simple but deeply evocative design choices. 

Criterion will release their edition of Certified Copy on dvd & blu-ray on May 22, 2012.

“this series is a personal project i began in 2005 in canada, photographing my male friends - 30ish, not ‘settled down,’ happy - in the living rooms in which they grew up. It seemed to me that my generation was taking its time growing up and deciding what it wanted to be when it got there. Somehow, seeing them interact with this room - the soul of the home, one measure of stability - hints at the gap between the values and aspirations of our generation and those of our parents.” (via CINDY BLAZEVIC [sin-di blah-sheh-veech])

One might suggest that the real estate market has sent us to our old ways, as people jump from house to house every few years. We too roam the lands in search of better pastures. We roam the suburbs for greener lawns, bigger trees, and more spacious homes for our growing clan. We too move from…
