Music is one of the most powerful most unifying forces we have been gifted with in this human experience. Sharing sounds is my love language, my mixes are love letters written and blended in the bpm of heartbeat, drum pattern, and melody. This time around I wanted to return to my roots, Loose Change was the title for my first mixtape series. Now I’ve made so many (I’ve literally lost count) I felt it was time to just Bless!

I wanted to craft a soundtrack from a space of the vibrations less heard or seen, or if you’ve heard them you haven’t seen them in this arrangement or composition. So get your shazam’s out and text that one person you are always trying to impress w/ your taste in music and bless them this link.

Higher Inner G Mixtape & Artist Aleah Clark

C2O Editor Language Arts aleah clark, defsound, Music, photography 0

Music is for everyone, and we felt the need to remind you all of its magical powers with ∂eƒSound’s new mix for your mid summer night’s dreams. It’s got everything from Toro Y Moi, to Ti$a, and kicks off with Too Many Zooz.

Let it massage your ear drums with you peruse the digital gallery of visual expressionist Aleah Clark, whose work is blessing the mixtape cover.

[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/215710868″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

Aleah, is a So Cal based photographer who specializes in the special, here images transcend genre and purpose but are consistently fused with contrast, emotion, and color, even when they are black and white.

“I AM NOT A ‘SPECIALIZED’ PHOTOGRAPHER. I SPECIALIZE IN CREATIVITY. WHATEVER YOU NEED, WHATEVER PURPOSE, WHATEVER SITUATION OR EVENT, I CAN DO IT.”

Her portraiture is unorthodox to say the least. Aleah seems to make true the claim that pictures capture the soul of a person. The eyes of her subject speak an eery depth and realism that contradicts the two dimensionality of the photo.

But the novelistic elements of each photo seem to harken so many more than those thousand words we beg of photography. However still the image, there is a subtle movement that takes place in the view that make the picture seems animated. This is the very definition of still. Life.

If you would like to support or hire Aleah visit her site aleahclark.com and if you need her inspirations on a more regular basis follow here on instagram @byaleahclark.

NEW MIXTAPE: In All Its Beauty

C2O Editor Language Arts, Music, Visuals art, autumn, collaboration, defsound, lani trock, mixtape, Music, photography 0

If you didn’t already know, we are fans of great music around here. We try to provide you at least one selection each season to help you cope with the transition and appreciate the change. Living in the moment can be difficult but when you have a suitable soundtrack it becomes much easier.

We are also fans of visual art and always select one of our favorite artists to feature their work on the cover. This time we sent an early release of the the mix Defsound created to one Lani Trock, who took the time to listen and enjoy the sound offering and make a selection of images that she felt accompanied the audio.

What we’ve found is that inspiration is cyclic and Def was inspired by her images as well. Please enjoy the sounds and images that have been chosen for you to experience. The mix is available for download as well so you can take it with you on the go.

As we enter 2014, we wanted to give you a nice soundtrack to get you off on the right foot. Even if it ends up being a moonwalk that you are doing.

Resident music dealer Def Sound has created a mix of some of the most awesomest selections for you to ride and vibe to.

Taste is one of the things that defines and divides us. Music is only media that pumps directly into your brain by vibration so we start the year by asking the question.

What are you listening to?
