Frequencies: Early Echo

Longboard icon Kassia Meador floats serenely across the majestic waves in surfer and filmmaker Bruce Muller’s Echo. The visual meditation is the first of four shorts teasing the release this fall of Frequencies, an experimental documentary and visual essay by Muller shot at prime surfing destinations across Southern California.

Starring Meador and with an original score from Los Angeles-based psyche-pop trio E.S.P, Frequencies aims to explore how man can find synergy with nature’s cycles.

INKLING BY WACOM

What do you buy an artist for Christmas?

Meet the Inkling by WACOM, which brings designers back to their roots: drawing with pen and paper.

The Inkling is a digital sketch pen and receiver; sketch, and your lines will be translated into an illustration on your computer. You don’t need special paper to record your drawings; you can attach the Inkling’s receiver to any paper surface and scribble away. If that weren’t enough, you can create multiple “layers” while you sketch; when you import your sketches, these will translate into layered files in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. Best part is the price at only $199. Available mid-September at Amazon.com.

STROKED: A Tribute To ‘Is This It’

In honor of the 10th anniversary of The Strokes’ debut album Is This ItStereogum got some of their favorite artists together to cover each track: Stroked: A Tribute To Is This It. Contributing artists include Peter Bjorn & John, the morning benders, Deradoorian and others, but my favorite track comes from Owen Pallett, who reimagines “Hard To Explain” as a classical piano quintet, dressing up The Strokes’ signature drive with elegant poise fit for a concert hall.

In Pallett’s description of the cover he references an interesting quote from Regina Spektor:

“The thing that blew my mind first hearing the Strokes was that they were the closest I had heard rock come to classical. Their music is extraordinarily orderly and composed.”

Download the entire album here.
