A collaboration born over the veins of cyber-space, artistic savant Nathaniel, of Think or Smile, and the bold sound pioneer RxRy have very well reached inside of each other’s minds to create this trifecta of written word, moving image, and soundscape perfection. 

All words you read were sculpted by Nathaniel. And know that the sounds you hear, RxRy created specifically for this project. All images were captured using a state of the art iPhone held against glass at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois. Now, please sit still, make this full screen and forget what your doing for five minutes and twenty seconds.

Free Music Collection: November 2011 This months free music collection is here. This is what Nathaniel has to say about it:  “One of the most versatile of gemstones, tourmaline, exists in nearly every color, from colorless to black. Some spend lifetimes collecting, searching for a cesation to their appetite. For the happiest no such end is in sight. We revel in the hunt. Music is our gemstone, off-the-beaten-path, our tourmaline.” Click the image to go start the hunt for yourself. Collection collected by usual collectors: myself, Think or Smile, Friends With Both Arms, and Stadiums and Shrines. ___________________________________________ Here are my selections: Born Gold – Bodysongs: Freak glitch beauty from the newly transformed Canadian pop warlocks. Dreams – Feelings 4 U EP: Everything else changes, but funk is eternal. $ Dusk Warrior – Overdrive Sunrise: Library music, you’ve heard it before, you just didn’t know it. Flashing Red Lights – Faster Horses EP: Part rock and roll, part innovative electronic production, all in all: really good. $ Kodak to Graph – Visio’l EP: From start to finish, the EP soundtracks life in the sleepy town of Pensecola, FL where Michael Maleki lives. And having lived in Florida for some time myself, I can tell you, he’s doing the place a favor. The production is impressive, and the sounds are thoughtful and smooth. Thrupence – Unfinished Business Beat Tape: A twenty minute dream, guided by soft beats and forgotten smooth jams.
