by I can’t remember if I posted or tweeted about it, but I watched this amazing video of a subway skater, Tengu, and in addition to being blown away by the skater I loved the sound track. The composer, Jacob Ireland, sent me a link to the complete piece, Subway Track, and I’ve been meaning to post it. It’s made entirely from sounds on the subway, and I just love it. Very inventive. Turns out Ireland is a graphic designer, among other things. Many other things, including being a skater!
The crowds on 11th Street on Halloween. Costumes and candy are serious business around here.
I think you might also appreciate THIS video of JP Auclair, a Canadian freestyle skier. Sadly, he died in a skiing accident a couple of months ago. I also love the piece of music that accompanies the clip and how it matches some of the on-screen action so well.

Oh Jesus. That was fucking incredible, and now my heart is broken that he died. That is so terrible!!
But that is an astoundingly beautiful movie, breathtaking, everything about it, the skiing, the cinematography, the music, everything.
