FASHION PARADE - Hosted by Perry Ullmann “make me a SUPERMODEL”

Music and design consumes our daily ritual throughout the year.

Whether it’s art, music or FASHION it’s time to show Sacramento a thing or two. Ok really, we’re excited to be presenting DROP A HOUSE, we connected with a collection of talented designers in launching their lines. What’s makes it special? Like most of our shows, it’s created by artists & designers and you’re just going to have to find out. Presented by Visao Media.

Here’s a bonus we came up with the new ALX-T logo, the typeface is Neu English by ALX-T.
“ze French pop trio Cocosuma caught our eyes and ears with “Miracle Man”. It’s a catchy, weird and danceable lush heavy synth track I immediately fell in love with. I found while searching for tracks for an upcoming fashion show I’m DJing. I love the skulls, love black pyramids and love the French.”_Alex-T
Bonus Video by Third Side Recs: Flairs - Trucker Delight
I wanted to dig up original works by Hajime Sorayama. Sorayama is well known for his 80’s airbrush “Sexy Robots”. I found a tribute series to Hajime Sorayama by Sakke Soini, a talented graphic artist in retro futurism.
Wasserman - W.I.R

It’s been a while since we’ve checked on what Mr. Doob aka Ricardo Cabello(Designer+Developer) has been up to, he’s the creator of that nifty lil pattern changing SWF graphic in the right column. Of course, some RADexperimental audio projects. His latest is “3D Interpolation of a Waveforms“. Looks like a bit of Python coding and scaling of 3D boxes on an axis while reading a waveform.
This would be a great plug-in for a VJing application to read multiple tracks, while morphing the 3D box’s styles with foreground and background effects. Great ambient track to use in this experiment, which is below.
