The Music of Matt and Kim

So one day here I am sitting on the couch watching the tube and all of a sudden here comes this great sounding tune from a commerical. After about 20 minutes searching I finally found out the name of the band and song and to my enjoyment their music.

Matt and Kim are like nothing you have heard before but their music is almost like watching a painting appear before you eyes. Hard to pin down a genre on this one but you know what, I don’t need to.

The Music of The Dodos

Visiter by San Francisco band The Dodos is their second full length and first for Frenchkiss. Originally formed in 2006 under the moniker Dodobird as a one man acoustic act, Meric Long would gig around SF playing folky guitar w/ a combination of loops and ambient keyboards. Having already studied West African Ewe drumming, Meric got turned onto country blues fingerpicking and sought to create a band where the drumming could be a center role and help bring out the syncopated rhythms coming out of the acoustic guitar.

The Art of Leonid Afremov

I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in love with painting with oil and palette-knife. Every artwork is the result of long painting process; every canvas is born during the creative search; every painting is full of my inner world. Each of my paintings brings different mood, colors and emotions. I love to express the beauty, harmony and spirit of this world in my paintings. My heart is completely open to art. Thus, I enjoy creating inspired and beautiful paintings from the bottom of my soul. Each of my artworks reflects my feelings, sensitivity, passion, and the music from my soul. True art is alive and inspired by humanity. I believe that art helps us to be free from aggression and depression.

Currently my art is being collected all over the world. There are many pleased collectors in USA, Israel, Italy, France, England, Spain, Norvay, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. Presently it is just enough to type my name in an internet search engine to discover the value and magnificence of my Art.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “I Have a Dream” Speech

There is no need for my own words as nothing can compare to his. Whether you agree or not, his speech, words, ideas, and wisdom is something to admire and respect. A truly selfless human being.

The Music of Nataly Dawn

Nataly says, “Nataly Dawn started off in L.A., moved to France at the age of ten, spent a few years in Belgium and then scurried on back to California to persue an “education” in “art” and “French Literature.”

She makes music as often as possible, to keep herself sane and happy. She dabbles around with piano, guitar and bass (her favorite instrument), but does not consider herself an expert at any of them. Mostly she enjoys singing and inventing odd harmonies.

Recently she has gotten into the youtube music movement thanks to her boyfriend, jack conte (myspace.com/jackconte, youtube.com/jackcontemusic), and together they have started a collaboration called pomplamoose (myspace.com/pomplamoosemusic, youtube.com/pomplamoosemusic). nataly is still in denial about wanting to be a full-time musician, but deep down inside she knows that there is nothing that makes her happier than making art and sharing it with lovely listeners such as yourself. ” Link
