I became an instant fan of the artist Pogo after a friend of mine showed me the video and song he made using sounds and voices from the cartoon Alice In Wonderland movie. “Alice” is my favourite but he has made more songs using other movies, like “Alohomora” from Harry Potter and “Upular” from Up. And they’re all fantastic!

What really cemented Pogo’s genius in my head was the video he made for his mother, Gardyn. He used random sounds from around his mum’s garden and her voice to put together the song. It comes out incredibly trippy and the video is just as beautiful as the song.

I would like to know exactly how Pogo hears the world. I firmly believe that how we see the world changes and varies with each person depending on what they love. Artists that deal mostly with aesthetics will see their surroundings in a different way so I’m guessing it’s the same for musicians, only with hearing.

Song of the week: Lessons Learned by Matt and Kim.

And the video for this is pretty much one of a kind. How many other people can get away with it?

I’ll be honest…I was getting really frustrated earlier while editing the photos for the series I’ve chosen to call “Hair Connection”. Told my friend that it kind of felt like a rut but at the same time it was something else. I liked the pictures, I like the way I edit, but when I looked at the results, I just wasn’t satisfied. Then I made one little change and everything was alright again. Maybe I was just getting all OCD over the pictures, or maybe it’s one of those frustrating mindfuck moments that people who like to be creative get. You obsess over something that doesn’t seem to be working and when one minute detail changes suddenly everything falls into place. And I can say that I am fairly happy with the photos now. Will post more sometime this week!
