Yma Sumac - Latest audio addiction

I've been a bit lazy with my moldy pineapple of a blog...

Making stock and such...

So for a little random snack.

Someone asked me what music I listen to while I work.

Currently I am obsessed with Yma Sumac.

 Don't know who she is?

"Yma Sumac (pron.: /ˈiːmə ˈsuːmæk/; September 13, 1922 – November 1, 2008) was a noted Peruvian singer. In the 1950s, she was one of the most famous proponents of exotica music. She became an international success based on her extreme vocal range, which was said to be "well over four octaves" and was sometimes claimed to span even five octaves at her peak. "

Check her out, she's amazing:

The goodluck album is in stores.

I walked into Musica today and there was the Goodluck Album!

For those who missed it.
Under a collaborative by
Wes Langeridge, Moe Kekana and Robin Evans and myself
called Tenth Hour,
I made and designed the jewellery that goes on top of the Cat
Lots of rocky roads, hard work and tears, but it looks stunning.

Jules and Ben (from Goodluck) can be proud the sound is amazing, Hop on Hop off is by far my favourite, but Durty Boys sounds like it was written about me!

goodluck to it all

So it's been a while... Miss me?

Things have been crazily busy on this side.

Here's a little update about what's been happening since our last little tryst.

I've been teaching (alot), besides teaching 2nd year technique at the university, I've been offering drawing (3d modeling, Rhino) because 1 of our lecturers resigned and did a 3 week introduction to jewellery course for the foundation course. Been working on my body of work for Btech, sadly only 6 pieces done out of a minimum of 20, I want 30 to 40... Eish...

And last but not least also one of the coolest:

I have been collaborating with friends of mine who study at Red and Yellow.

They were approached by a band (Goodluck) to do the art direction and design of their branding and album art. So we've collaborated and I've made the patterned jewels that go on top of a statue for the album.

The band is amazing, I had the fortune of hearing their new material in studio when we went to have a meeting the other day. Seriously check them out. So excited to see the album done and to see them perform live as the opening act for Basement Jaxx on 3/4 September. Very very awesome!
