Méduses from Numéro#

It’s the new Numéro# clip. Bonzai Studio did the VFX. They of course put a lot of stuff that wasn’t there in the first place. At any rate, the clip is cholk full of atmosphere as are Numéro#’s songs.

Bonzai’s new web site is in the works, but here’s a sneak peek.

Woolf + Lapin in Cali.

It’s always a good time to come to California. If you look hard enough you can feel the remnants of Bukowski, of Carver, of Dogtown, heck even Mr. Hubble if you go high enough into the hills.

LA is always special because it’s about the pinnacle of sacrifice and achievement. It’s about high how high you can go and stay there. Doing it your own way. Getting noticed. Breaking out.

It’s not such a stretch to say that’s why astronomers came here and perfected the art of star gazing. Because those who came here say California offers a unique view to the universe. Unlike any other, in fact.

Like Hubble and his study of the stars, we look to the movie-making machine that makes stars all the way down here. And at the end of the day when the sun goes down all over this city, there’s something unavoidably dreamy and magic about it.

But what if there’s another dream out there? Another kind of magic? A whole new universe to play with? That’s why Woolf + Lapin is in California.

Accompanied by Patrick Boivin, Woolf + Lapin went through the usual rounds of meetings with LA’s top producers.  But also visited  San Francisco to meet up with Google and Youtube. We can’t say what they’re brewing up, but it’s gonna blow the socks right off every one.

Here’s Monsieur Monsieur Boivin at Google posing with the emblems of the different development phases of the Nexus One phone.

For his part, Patrick has a few more things in the works. We can’t say what quite yet. But it’s that magic we’re talking about.

Yeah, it’s always a good time to come to Cali.
