In my never-ending quest for good work music, a friend of mine introduced me to the music of Simon Green who goes by the alias “Bonobo”.  After listening to a few tracks on his iPod, I quickly downloaded the Blank Sands album  Black Sands - Bonobo  and it is quickly becoming one of my most listened-to albums.  If you’re like me and enjoy a good fusion of beats, live instrumentals mixed with jazzy undertones and the haunting vocals of Andreya Triana, than you’re sure to be a fast fan as well.  Enjoy!

Check out their website with access to songs, tour dates, and more.   Oh… and if you get a chance to see them in LA this year, I plan to be there as well.  http://www.bonobomusic.com/

As a designer I am always looking for music to listen to as I work, music that inspires me and does not distract me from my current project. I tend to listen to a lot of ambiant music and as of late that means I listen to a lot of Schiller. Named after the German poet Friedrich Schiller, Schiller was founded in 1998 by Christopher von Deylen and Mirko von Schlieffen in Hamburg Germany.

Schiller’s uses vocals from famous guests artists from around the world mixed with his own electronic ambiant music which results in a wonderfully eclectic mixture of songs.  A prolific band, Schiller has released 12 albums and 20 singles since forming as well as a large collection of videos and international releases, 7 of which I now own. When I need to get in a great design session I load up his music and start designing.

To get you started I have linked a few videos below, but to get a real feel for Schiller head over to his Youtube channel (Link).

More ambiant goodness.

This week I found a great song that will not get out of my head.  Gotye (a.k.a. Wally, born Wouter, De Backer) has a catchy little ditty called Somebody that I Used to Know (Video Below).  If you go by their Youtube views (67,314,097 at last count) I am neither the only nor the first one to enjoy the song. So if you have not heard the song yet, please watch it below.

Also please check out their other videos as they have some crazy good artists/film makers contributing to them.

Also, and I normally would not do this, but I am also linking a great cover of the same song.

Also check out the cover below. .
