Ando muito interessado no AMOR, como uma forte tendência de comportamento, com desdobramentos em muitas áreas da indústria criativa. Essa mixtape criada especialmente para trilha sonora do desfile de Inverno 2012 de Samuel Cirnansck fala sobre isso.

A frase “Love is Blindness” ficou na cabeça e costurei essas palavras pelo meio da trilha como se fosse o vento, os sussurros por trás das portas, um pensamento constante para as mulheres que ele desenhou.

Uma ventania que chacoalha o portão de ferro. Ao longe caixinhas de música, pianos em Fuga, vozes poéticas, gélidas, vão se revelando ao encontro da paixão dos sonhos. Final feliz. O amor vence.

Pensei nesse conto. Acredito que a música vestiu as suas roupas como eu as senti.

Nessa mixtape, utilizo sons de colares de pérolas, caixinhas de música tocadas ao vivo, sussurros e frases soltas ao vento por mim, com distorções, passos.

Uma forma de garantir exclusividade para a trilha, que traz sons eletrônicos da banda canadense Austra mixados com uma balada rasgada do U2, cover de Jack White.

Shhh… Love is the blindness.

“If you invented a range of value for things, if things were listed according to their importance to mankind, which would place the plastic? The answer can be summarized in one conclusion: everything these days takes plastic. Everything is plastic.”

Thinking about this Fernanda Young’s phrase, I am faced with the spring-summer 2011 international season: many brands feature clothing in synthetic materials. A hot summer, isn’t it?

Prada once again is the exception and celebrates the use of cotton as a differentiation strategy in the competitive pret-a-porter deluxe market.

As the specialists said, textile and clothing firms around the world are bracing themselves for more disruption to cotton supplies and a possible rise in garment prices after the worst floods in decades hit Pakistan’s cotton industry, squeezing companies just as they head into the important summer buying season.

With cotton prices already up 33% in the past 12 months to near 15-year highs, this all adds up to bad news for the apparel industry.

Not only is it facing tighter global cotton supplies on the back of rising demand from world economies as they recover from the recession, including those in Asia, but other sourcing costs are on the rise too, including transportation and labour.

It’s likely that higher costs will translate into higher prices for T-shirts and jeans. Another challenge is that cotton is not easily replaced by other fabrics. Summer clothes in particular are predominantly made from cotton, while warmer fabrics such as wool and cashmere are also increasingly blended with cotton.

Indeed, the effects of the Pakistan floods, which are likely to play out over the next couple of years, shows just how vulnerable world cotton supply is to the whims of nature. And is likely to see cotton prices establish a new, higher price range.

Land suitable for growing cotton is relatively scarce in the world, and it is difficult to get new land quickly. Meanwhile, China and India are growing cotton consumers faster than the world can increase the production of cotton.

Shhh… This is likely to be the case for years to come.

O excesso de copy/paste leva o mundo artístico de volta ao feito à mão. É uma forma de renovar a criação, sem deixar de lado, claro, as ferramentas tecnológicas. Nessa vibe, convidei o produtor L_Cio para um novo desafio: aliar seu techno ao piano. Ele topou e o resultado está aqui.

“Para compor a mixtape, convidei Miro Silveira, meu  padrasto, que é excelente compositor e multi-instrumentista, faz trilhas para teatro, cinema, propagandas e novelas”, conta L_cio.

E mais: “O mix foi gravado no formato live PA, ou seja, cada faixa foi executada na hora com a utilização de instrumentos MIDI e samples”. Bem no tom handmade que tem influenciado trabalhos de artistas como Gonzales, Something A La Mode e Damian Lazarus.

Shhh… “O piano no quarto escuro me oferecia uma possibilidade de harmonia infinita. Esta é a minha face oculta”.

ceo arises in 1981 and 1891. in 3064 and tomorrow. after ibrahimovic and before nectanebo II. before the dark ages and after spring break. before time was, ceo is.

ceo arises in miami, hell, holzschlag, the andes, sparta, chianti and wall street. in the antennae galaxies, kungsmässan, flushing meadows and the mariana trench. before space was, ceo is.

you may call me sophia, yukio, fanta, eric, kiki and krishna. and wii and whitney.

ceo is the photosynthesis and an aria, it is silence and virginity lost in a gang bang.

ceo is a bird in space and ceo is the space in a bird.

ceo is saliva, patrón, november rain and panic. it is a relief, a citrine and it is broken dreams.

ceo is the harlot, the prince the snake and the shaman. in a spyker c8 laviolette. and on a mirage.

ceo is raspberries and chlamydia, it is the shadow and it is a clapping game.

ceo is auroras and charlotte casiraghi. it is laser beams and a home by the ocean.

ceo is a lost love and rihanna’s voice. it is hibernation, the spectacle and every breath you take.

ceo is platinum and it is valium, it is a quasar and it is a lie. ceo is a breech forest and a slamdunk.

ceo is the ashanti and ceo is seinfeld. it is eucalyptus, neon and a smile.

ceo is a war zone and a sanctuary. it is dukkha, dilla and the body of light.

ceo is cashmere, sweat, zooxanthellae and a stiletto. it is implosion technology and it is the match point.

ceo is you and you are me and i am ceo. in eternity.
