Music
Easy Listening Blanton Museum Podcasts
Commissioned for the opening of the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin, Music for the Blanton by Donald Grantham premiered on April 24 and April 30, 2006. The work is in 18 short movements and is scored for ten instruments. Eight of the movements are intended to depict musically specific works of art in the musuem's collection. These eight movements are connected by brief solos and duos intended to summon the audience from the location of one art object to the next, and the entire work is framed by a prelude and a postlude. The works of art date from the 15th to the late 20th century and the music reflects these periods in tone and tempo.

Why not eat insects?
Marcel Dicke makes an appetizing case for adding insects to everyone's diet. His message to squeamish chefs and foodies: delicacies like locusts and caterpillars compete with meat in flavor, nutrition and eco-friendliness.

Syntax
Great narration and content direction combined with irony, humor and intelligent critique. A magazine to be enjoyed alone and by yourself – no other distraction should be allowed. Quote by Kimberly Lloyd.

Bulgaria Magazine
Tom Bulgaria aka. Bange, Hänninen and team challenged humor some several times. Here is their idea of Finland in their monothematic magazine.

This magazine cannot be described in ordinary terms. Here is an excerpt of a personal letter to us:
"Dear Kimberly,
We know you are busy and everything, trying to handle your daily tasks in a fast moving publishing and modeling business, but...
... remember, somewhere thousands of kilometers away from Deutschland there are three Bulgarians thinking about you as you read this. Look out of the window, glance towards the sky and in your dreams you can see us, like stars twinkling behind the misty galaxy.
Here by we would like you to grant this humble present so you could have us back in your heart. It is a book about a country called Finland (we´re not sure you have heard about it). It gives you an alphabetical insight on what´s going on in there.
Maybe you can even come visit us in the future.
Sincerely
Your sluts"
And yes, you can get to know them and how much of a slut they can be. Check out these party pictures with the Qompendium Crew.
