The Golden Filter - Solid Gold.

When you come back home after a long time you tend to see things in a different way, with new eyes. That’s what happened to me. After these two years in the US coming back to my hometown feels good. I discover a whole new world - it was always there but I had to grow up to see how beautiful it is.
I took these pictures in my parents field.
I also take the opportunity to introduce you to this Swedish band that I love:
The Field - The More That I Do
If you like this kind of music you should listen to the other bands signed under the label Kompakt. Here’s a free mix of the Kompakt artists by Michael Mayer.
Just wanted to share that amazing application: Tone Matrix
It’s so simple, it sounds beautiful whatever you do.
Hi there, I know it’s been a while! I finally found some time and mostly the inspiration to follow up on this blog.. the more you look for it, the more it hides from you. And suddenly on this grey Saturday morning I felt it, and here it is, a souvenir of a colorful nighty night @ Watertaxi Beach in Long Island City.
What a delight to sip cocktails on a fake beach with really fancy blinking palm trees in front of a Manhattan skyline at the end of summer ‘09.
The music that night was managed by Dublex Inc.
The french Brooklynite migrated to a new hood for an afternoon - yes, I’m very adventurous! - to discover Long Island City, its art galleries AND the MoMa Annex > P.S.1
Now you must wonder why a furry, wooly Mammoth… Have a look at the photos, it will make much more sense!
On Saturdays afternoon, during summertime, music performance are housed within the architectural installation created by the winner of the annual P.S.1 Young Architects Program and the structure displayed this year makes me think of a giant creature that blows a very pleasant mist to cool you down after dancing and sweating like cavemen 
My blog finally reached it’s first cupcake Day!
The Summer2009 in BK is so full of great events that I have to share with you … before the summer’s actually over … Stay tuned!
First thing to enjoy a great summer, good music:
Telepathe - So Fine
This year, Bastille Day was celebrated Sunday July 12th in different areas from New York City. Obviously the place to be is in Brooklyn, on Smith street, where they close the streets on a few blocks to fill them with sand for the International Petanque Tournament!
Add a lot of french people, Ricard drinks, merguez sandwiches, strawberry tarts, sun, many degrees, music and friends and you get an unforgettable Sunday afternoon !
On Memorial Day, I had a chance to finally get out of New York city, yes after more than a year, it was time! I followed my friends out of the state, took the bus at 7 in the morning in Chinatown NY and arrived one hour and a half later in Chinatown Philadelphia.
We went there without any expectations. The idea was just a day off somewhere else.
We skipped the historical district, we just had a look at the Liberty Bell, passed a few Memorial Day ceremonies, then got lost in the downtown area, had a HUGE and excellent Philly Cheesesteak, tried the subway, just for fun, and finished our trip with the famous stairs you can see in the movie Rocky.
I’m not going into details, here’s a slideshow with things that inspired me that day.
