Rory Viner, an experimental composer from Toronto, and Japanese developer Kanoguti have created a free art game that will leave you trying to decide what this existential game actually means as the developer wanted the player to figure out the story for themselves. The game is called Lost & Found and has five mini-games set as five stages, all different in concept. You only need to use the arrow keys and the ‘z’ button. To get to the next stage, you just beat a level or you can exit the game and just select the next stage from the title splash screen. Read more

Bored of the too-easy point/click way we find new music, I decided to make my own songs harder and more interesting to get hold of. I spent a year hiding CDs with my music on in cities around the world (with a little help from friends). I filmed the whole thing, including the responses I got, and edited it to a song from my new EP, Realityicide.

I saw Lord Huron back in August at the Getty (In my home town of Los Angeles) and I thought something along the lines of: ‘Well, that was pretty good’. Then, more recently, I researched them a bit and downloaded their two EPs, which are phenomenal. They play a mix of calypso and alternative rock and you can download two songs for free at their website.

After sifting through his songs, I’m convinced that Madeon, a 17 year-old producer from France, is a genius. This man has the kind of skills that makes every other teen with FL Studio want to weep. He creates funky electro tracks and remixes. Here he’s taken 39 songs he loves and created it into something that is somehow more amazing. Enjoy.

I love being busy, and I think I do a pretty good job at it, but Donald Glover puts me and every other workaholic out there to shame. He’s hilarious on television and on stage, he makes kickass music, and he tours the country doing a blend of both. I’m not exactly sure how he managed to keep his energy and creativity levels up, but I’ll have what he’s having.
Portraiture and realism have always been my cup-of-tea, so to speak. I love realism in artwork. Stephen Earl Rogers is a young British artist who works in realism and is becoming well known for his portraits. He has a unique way of capturing a person’s character and his works are technically stunning with just the right level of realism whilst not trying to be photographic. He has exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London, amongst other places.

Damn, ten years of playing guitar in loud rock bands, and not once did we have a slamming moshpit like this. Banging heads is so, so fun.
If this image by designer Yanko Tsvetkov is how Americans see Europe, I wonder what a map of how Europeans see America would look like. Do most non-Americans have any concept of what Nebraska is like?
Anyone interested in the importance of limitations on creativity should check out the new publication Vormator: The Elements of Design. Begun two years ago, it challenges artists to create a visual by using a very limited palette of shapes and possibilities. Read more
