    Tangerine Dream – Identity Proven Matrix (live studio performance)


    Tangerine Dream complete their Quantum Gate album with the Quantum Key EP as a new double CD release – http://found.ee/QuantumGateKey

    The Quantum Key EP preceded Quantum Gate and both delivered an updated, contemporary development of their trademark sound: sequencer-driven electronica covering a wide range of moods and atmospheres from ambient soundscapes to energetic, upbeat moments.

    The Quantum Years material began as a concept and series of musical sketches by Froese before he passed away in 2015. Remaining band members Thorsten Quaeschning, Ulrich Schnauss and Hoshiko Yamane worked together to realize Edgar’s visions and expectations of a conceptual body of work that attempts to translate quantum physics and philosophy into music.

    Tangerine Dream have been a fundamental influence on electronic and progressive music since their formation in West Berlin, 1967. Inspiring genres, musicians and other art forms, from The Future Sound of London to Porcupine Tree, the widely popular TV show Stranger Things (for which their music also featured in) to seminal video game Grand Theft Auto V (for which they helped to write the soundtrack).

  • Seven Advantages of HTML5 Mobile Apps

    Seven Advantages of HTML5 Mobile Apps


    This video explains seven strategic advantages cross platform HTML5 Mobile Web Apps have over platform specific Android, Apple iOS and other native OS apps.

    Video Transcript

    Seven Advantages of HTML5 Mobile Apps

    – Device-Aware Responsive Web Design
    – Mobile-Friendly Front-End Development
    – W3C Standards Compliant HTML5/CSS3
    – PHP/MySQL | jQuery/Javascript | SEO/SMM

    More Economical to Develop & Deploy

    Native OS apps run on one smartphone platform only. One HTML5 Mobile Web app can run on all smartphone platforms with native wrappers for each.

    Open Web Technology vs. Proprietary SDKs

    Mobile Web apps can be built and maintained using open web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery and Node.js.

    No Vendor Lock-In of App Creators or Customers

    Native OS apps lock purveyors and users into a single mobile phone manufacturer. Mobile Web apps do not.

    Greater Visibility & Search Marketing Potential

    Native OS apps can get lost in mix with 700,000+ others at online app stores. Mobile Web apps can be search optimized and self-promoting.

    Immediate Accessibility For Lower Abandonment

    Native OS apps must be downloaded and activated for use which can be one more obstacle to a sale. Mobile Web apps are accessible instantly.

    Instant Updates & No Release Headaches

    Updating a native OS app with 10,000 users requires 10,000 downloads. Mobile Web apps updates are instantly available at the server.

    Mobile Web Apps Have Perpetual Persistence

    Over 50% of downloaded apps are unistalled within 1 month and 95% deleted within 6. Mobile Web apps cannot be uninstalled or deleted by users.

    Private Label Web Design & Development

    Primavera is in the air and Gucci’s new Spring 2012 collection has premièred during London Fashion week as part of the latest edition of Gucci’s award winning iPad App, Gucci Style. Remi Paringaux of MERI Media returned to Loco to co-create the look for the shoppable magazine features, “How to Wear it”, “Spring Awakening”, and “Self Reflection”.

    The models for the men’s and women’s collections were shot in a room full of mirrors, so Loco provided VFX to clean up the footage and develop a hyper-real environment. Baselight Colourist, Tom Balkwill was very excited to develop a strong, brave, and unique look to these shots, keeping the skin tones glowing within a steely blue ambiance for Frida’s collections. Tom and Remi were delighted to see how far the Arri Alexa footage could be pushed, and the results were hugely satisfying. Steve Wright, a friend of Loco’s, provided the effortlessly cool soundtrack for “Spring Awakening”, the women’s collection.

    Loco and Dirty Looks transformed the green screen footage from Gucci’s Florentine studio shoot on the Arri Alexa into the bright, blue-sky settings and warm, sun-kissed models to develop a Mediterranean resort look for Frida’s selections. With such a hot collection, we can’t wait to work with the team again on the summer edition.

  • Anna Maria / Bradenton

    Anna Maria / Bradenton


    With its white sandy beaches and warm temperatures, for many years Anna Maria Island was considered a “hidden gem,” the sleepy island providing a rare slice of “Old Florida. In the past decade, tourism development has been targeted as a key economic goal by island, county and state officials and millions of tax dollars have been invested to draw visitors to the island with national and international advertising and publicity efforts. Ponce de Leon named the island for Maria Anna von der Pfalz-Neuburg, the queen of Charles II of Spain, the sponsor of his expedition.

    We start off over the Palm Sola Causeway (also known as Manatee Ave Causeway), flying towards Holmes Beach, one of three municipalities on the Island. The other two are Bradenton Beach on in the south part and Anna Maria on the north part of the Island.

    On the north part of the Island is Rod & Reel Pier & Restaurant 875 N. Shore Dr, a popular fishing area. The main north-south road on the island is Gulf Drive, which begins on the south end of the island at the foot of the Longboat Pass Bridge from Longboat Key. Gulf Drive is the only road that runs the entire length of the island. We show a popular wedding venue & restaurant The Sandbar. For info on weddings at the Sandbar see http://sandbar.groupersandwich.com/anna-maria-beach-weddings-events-sb.php.

    The southern tip of Anna Maria Island borders Longboat Key, Sarasota. Cortez Bridge (cr684) connects the mainland with Bradenton Beach. Anna Maria Island was only accessible by boat until 1921, when the wooden Cortez Bridge was constructed from the fishing village of Cortez to what is now Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach. The remaining parts of the Cortez Bridge are used as a fishing pier.

    We then fly over Holmes Beach and the Manatee Ave Bridge to the Palm Sola Causeway back to downtown Bradenton.

    Bradenton was incorporated in 1903, originally known as “Bradentown”, named after Dr Joseph Braden, whose nearby fort-like house was a refuge for early settlers during Seminole Indian attacks. In 1943 the Florida legislature merged the cities of Manatee & Bradentown to form the current Bradenton.

    The South Florida Museum home of the Bishop Planetarium, sits near the Manatee River in Downtown Bradenton. http://www.southfloridamuseum.org/.

    We then fly over two popular waterfront restaurants and marinas on opposite sides of the Manatee River. On the Bradenton side is Pier 22 http://pier22dining.com/ and the Twin Dolphin Marina. On the Palmetto side is The Riverhouse Reef & Grille, also a poplular wedding venue http://www.riverhousereefandgrill.com/ and the Regatta Pointe Marina.

    The Manatee River is a 36 mile river that forms in northeastern corner of Manatee County and flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Live The Moment – Video One

    Live The Moment – Video One


    Live The Moment is a project for I researched and developed for school. The task was to research the idea of ‘time’ for one semester. This research of time lead me to the fact that people often live their lives through technology – they are truly not living the moment. Who is really doing the living? Is it the camera they are photographing their cherished moments with, the video camera taping the concert they’re at, or the cellphone communicating with their loved ones?

    I then began to research the effects of technology and what it is doing to us. I was exposed to the term of Digital Natives. Digital Natives are the first generation to ever be raised entirely in a digital world. According to an article on (www2.macleans.ca/2008/11/07/dumbed-down/), constant access to technology is rewiring this generation’s brains negatively. It claimed technology is replacing the development of social skills, literacy and the will to read, etc. with the development of tech. related skills such as the ability to sort through lots of information quickly. Knowledge is no longer about how much information one can retain mentally, but rather how efficient they are at finding that information through Google.

    This led me to analyze my peers and current social situations (as I am included in the oldest age bracket in the digital natives generation) and how I could help relay some awareness to my generation of how truly bionic we have become…and how unnatural it is. This generation requires constant entertainment to pay attention (as our attention spans are shortening), so my solution would have to be extremely engaging to ensure they would remain interested. How could I poke fun at some of the countless situations where technology has negatively entered our social sphere?

  • SBCC@100

    SBCC@100


    Below was taken from

    http://www.sbcc.edu/centennial/documentary.php

    Centennial Documentary

    During fall 2009, SBCC film students William Conlin and Simon Freeman, with guidance from Candace Schermerhorn, faculty in the School of Media Arts, Guy Smith, Dean and Karen Sophiea, Director of Marketing and Publications, wrote and produced the first documentary commemorating SBCC’s centennial, “SBCC@100.” The 25-minute documentary was screened on February 6, 2010 and February 8, 2010 as a part of the prestigious Santa Barbara International Film Festival. This film is a comprehensive record of the College’s founding, encompassing 1909 to the present. Source material includes photos and film clips from private collections, public archives and the College’s student newspaper The Channels. These materials come to life to tell the remarkable story of California’s progressive community college development, as well as the growth and growing prestige of Santa Barbara City College over time.

    Features include:

    • Archival footage of Hiram Johnson, California’s governor in the early 1900s, who advocated the establishment of regional junior colleges in California, and ensured passage of the laws creating community college districts to fund and administer the junior colleges.

    • The evolution of SBCC’s location, from 1909, when junior college classes occupied a few classrooms at Santa Barbara High School, to its downtown location, the Riviera location and ultimately, the current, beautiful mesa site since 1959.

    • Photos of students, faculty and staff through various eras culled from newspapers, yearbooks and the College’s photo archive.

    • Interviews with the leaders of SBCC who have led and shaped the College over the past 30 years–current Superintendent/ President Dr. Andreea Serban and former presidents Dr. Peter MacDougall and John Romo.

    • First-person accounts of the College’s development from influential community supporters Leatrice Luria, Harold Thornton, Mike Towbes, Ron Werft, and Dr. Joe Dobbs, President of the SBCC Board of Trustees in 2009-10.

    The film is posted here. We hope you will enjoy it!
