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.

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.

Qompendium x Lee
On the 27th of November the Lee Make History Exhibition Tour will hit the German capital with its opening show in the Qompendium Work Shop Berlin. More than 150 submissions will be showcased to the public.
Further a fine selection of artifacts, each individually handcrafted and curated by Kimberly Lloyd for Lee Jeans will be part of the exposition. History reinvented.
History is the study of the past, especially the written record and oral traditions passed down from generation to generation verbally - from the eldest of a village to the village dwellers; from grandmothers to grandchildren; from a poet to a country; from the church to its believers, from a songwriter to a bunch of musicians and so on.
New technology, such as photography, sound recording, and motion pictures now complement the written word in the historical record. History as a field of research produces a continuous narrative and a systematic analysis of past events which are of high value to the human race.
Mankind nourishes its mind and soul by documenting the past and learning for the future, whether it is love, peace or war.
The Lee Make History Exhibition is an homage to the stories of individuals making up today’s history and representing our modern day society. More then 1598 individuals submitted a piece of their own story to the Lee Make History Campaign. International editor's of renowned magazines published their favourite campaigns and cherished these work and the artistic value of the submissions.
