Lost AT E Minor

FOR WEEKLY INSPIRATION Why

Who are we?

Lost At E Minor is an online publication of trends and pop culture.

Since 2005, a worldwide team of editors and writers have kept their ear to the thumping ground of 21st century civilization in order to inspire our readers with their discoveries in art, music, photography, fashion, film, products, and places.

Everything we feature is there because we like it, not because some ridiculously rich sponsor has thrown a stack of greenbacks our way. Not that we don’t like ‘da duckets’. In fact, we welcome any economic ’subsidies’ we can get. But at the end of the day, our iPhones are tax write-offs, and we do this out of love.

The team is:

Publishers/Editors

Zolton Zavos

zolton

Based in Brooklyn, Zolton has immersed himself in the ever-changing world of pop culture through a variety of outlets — as the creative director and editor for titles such as Stu, Riot, and Pulp; as a professional guitarist with the bands Jetstream and Lucid; and as a self-confessed Curb Your Enthusiasm obsessive. He was a judge for the 2007 Webby Awards and is available for consulting work — focusing on building online digital assets and brands.

Zac Zavos

zac zavos

Based in Sydney, Zac spent many years working in London before returning to the beaches and sunshine of Australia in mid-2005. His background is in digital consulting where he has worked for IBM and ThoughtWorks amongst other consultancies. He is also a passionate photographer and has thoroughly documented his travels through Europe, America and Asia through the lens of his trusty Canon camera. He was a judge of the 13th Annual Australian Interactive Media Industry Association Awards.

Andy Howard

andy howard

Currently travelling around the world, Andy has a long background in IT, the occasional dryness of which he offsets with an active interest in contemporary pop culture and travel. He feels most inspired when travelling somewhere for the first time and feeling the culture, people, colours, flavours, art, fashion and architecture. He loves art but can’t sketch as well as he’d like to. Loves fashion but doesn’t enjoy shopping for a new wardrobe. Holds Oscar Wilde’s belief that life’s too short to be taken seriously. On any given day he can be found writing, producing websites, chasing powder, discovering artists, surfing waves or following trends. And yes, he always sleeps well.

We featured red hot Brooklyn band Yeasayer on Lost At E Minor a few months back, so we thought it was time we checked in with keyboardist-sampler, Chris Keating. Read more

I tossed and turned through three chapters of an epic Russian novel last night. Or so it felt as a constant stream of characters made their way past the stringent casting couch and into the deepest reaches of my dreams. Read more

This water theatre by the British architect, Sir Nicholas Grimshaw of Grimshaw Architects, takes the form of a vertical seawater greenhouse, with the evaporators and condensers stacked vertically to maximise yield. The structure is not only a visible engine of sustainability but is also a large theatre auditorium. Read more

The indie, electronic pop duo Plastic Operator paired up whilst studying audio production at London’s Westminster University. In 2004, they released their first three track EP. Their music reminds me of bands like The Fashion, Crystal Castles and Cut Copy.

The very talented Jess Snow, the first video artist to be featured by Female Persuasion — the original site for provocative and political female artists — has created this ethereal short video for Lost At E Minor. We feel it. We love it. [see also the promo video Lifelongfriendshipsociety created for us]

Cheap Monday are arguably one of the biggest revolutions in denim since Levi’s. They’re pretty much the uniform second skin for the music totin’, cons scuffin’ youth of today. Read more

George Lois is the god of good ideas, or at least one of them. When I am stuck on ideas, I pray to George the God, or look through his works in hope of doing something one hundredth as good as his work. Read more

Massimiliano

Italian illustrator and designer Massimiliano creates vivid, dynamic and richly textured work. We caught up with him recently and asked him what had been keeping him busy of late. Read more

David Choe

LA-based renaissance man David Choe draws from toy culture and comics as much as he does from Japanese painting and conceptual high art. Read more

Ben Sollee

Cellist Ben Sollee is like Andrew Bird with a little more soul, or Arthur Russell with a bit more bounce. Read more

Thumb

William Fitzsimmons

His name echoes those of colonels and soldiers who fought in the American civil war. But far from that, William Fitzsimmons is actually an obscure songwriter from Jackson, Illinois. Read more

Travis Louie

Travis Louie’s paintings are inspired by 19th-century portrait photographs. Instead of people, however, his subjects are goofy-looking monsters. Read more

WIN

For the rest of this week, we have eight copies of the Anton Corbijn directed DVD, Control — the story of UK band, Joy Division — to give away to randomly selected new Australian-based Lost At E Minor subscribers. Read more
