Mighty Latvian Internet Medias are reporting: Latvian comics have been published in Japan. Lovely Japanese comics magazine UZO has included some of our stuff in their latest issue number 11 which looks like this:

I’m still waiting to get my copy and take a look myself, but this whole thing looks nice. Japan rocks.

And you know what else rocks? David Sylvian and his band Japan (just the album “Tin Drum” though). And Mr. Sylvian is supposed to have new album I guess hmm:

I am back from Porto. It was great. It was combination of very stupid comedians, angry ocean and angry surfers, Tall Johnny from Barcelona and some field recording homeworks. I’m still thinking of proper way to present my “work” done there, since it’s more of a research-type thing, rather straight and illustrative soundwalk which might need some explainations.
I am also back from London. Maybe I should put some pictures from Frieze & Zoo art fairs (first one was insanely massive, the second one was massively rough and bit weird), but the cold weather has caught me unprepared.

I’ve moved from Porto to London for a few days, and than I missed my flight. Still thinking about the ocean and the lovely city, and the fact I am writting about Alejandra & Aeron for the magazine is not helping because they did a lovely album on Porto sounds few years ago.

You can download their stuff here (with their kind permission).

And here’s the first piece from barber shop:

I have to note I also did some soundwork in Porto – my map of the city which I’d love to share with you some time soon. First I have to urvive London and Frieze Art Faire, and finally get on airplane. Somehow I miss my miserable grey country right now.

I am currently in Porto for Regenlab workshop which gathers people from Spain, France, Lithuania, Latvia and of course Portugal. So far it’s been fun and interesting, working on mental mapping (in other words – discovering city on our own, finding special interesting places). All northern people come to Porto, it’s warm.

Hello. Finally here’s a video from our Russia trip. This is an edit from our Moscow performance, filmed by someone with out of control camera moves which made it hard to use more material, but why not – here’s a shaky shaky document of the live video impro done by me, and monster sounds done mostly by mister candycoveredclown.

And our Reverb Nation player still have some nice excerpts both from St. Petersburg and Moscow, and sum mo’.

And it’s ready – the new fashion film by Latvian designers Mare Mastiņa and Rolands Pēterkops, directed by Kristīne Kursiša. You can watch it below in pretty decent quality, though on big screen it should be a killer hit.
Another thing I should mention is that the music for the film is done by me.

This movie was done for contest Fashion Is Passion – follow the link to see other movies.
