song: to build a home by the cinematic orchestra
probably the reason i took this screenshot originally was well. gillian's sportin my favorite face. but also, you can see her freckles quite well. i also sport freckles (but more of them), so i'm always extra happy to see freckles not covered with makeup in media. we're basically twins 😌 anyway i'm happy to stare at her face and try to render it on my screen yet again.
this angle though, off it gives me fits. even counting the grid boxes i get terribly lost. also thought if i didn't render the background exactly, i could pass it off as more just a general portrait? i'm trying to figure out the trick other artists who also do more realistic stuff from reference make it seem like something... new. hum.
thank you for being there for me in the rough times. thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on, the music to get me through the late nights, for being sometimes the only reason to make it through into the next day.
i don’t think Adam Young really has any idea how much he’s done for me - thank you for keeping the whimsy alive in this harsh world. thank you for the inspirational lyrics to keep me going. thank you fo helping me process emotions like grief, anger, sadness, anxiety…
12/13 year old keri lu really had no idea what was in store.
16-19 year old keri lu thought it was the end for a while.
26 year old keri lu is thankful that there was a light in the darkest of times.
Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri's free dance costumes at the 2024 World Championships, 2024 European Championships, 2023 Grand Prix de France and 2023 Grand Prix Final.
They skated to quite the medley of soundtracks: Emily, The Crimson Wing, The Theory of Everything and The Dressmaker.
In the last few seconds of their performance at Worlds, Guignard's skirt got caught in her blade and I watched on the edge of my perch, willing them to make a way through the pickle. And they did! But there's no denying her costume turned traitor that night.
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls, and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
Ghost Funk Orchestra - A Trip To The Moon - new album out today; they just keep getting better at their Cinematic Soul thing
Coming off the heels of 2022's A New Kind of Love, A Trip To The Moon sees GFO diving even deeper in the worlds of film music, exotica, and psychedelic surf rock. The aim is to create a layered and collaged listening experience with more elements than you could possibly pick out in a single listen. The guitars are fuzzy and flooded with spring reverb, and the horns are arranged in a studio big band fashion. It's full of big compositions with garage rock attitude. Influences range everywhere from Eddie Palmieri and Esquivel to The Lively Ones, Dusty Springfield, and War. The tracks are tied together by real recorded transmissions from the Apollo moon missions. The concept for the album is a story about a woman stranded on earth by her cosmonaut partner, left to ponder his whereabouts and whether or not he'll make it back from the cosmos alive.
