Most expensive Cindy Sherman photo was the inspiration behind Quantazelle’s promo photo

Like Ms. Sherman, my creative process involves being alone, thinking, devising, mentally-sketching, tweaking, re-tweaking, re-thinking; sharing for feedback, and then re-tweaking some more. It’s emblematic of the contemporary, technology-enabled artist, in a way. Creative types have so many resources available: so many mediums to muck around in, so many visual sandboxes (like Adobe CSx–Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier); audio playgrounds (like Reaktor, Ableton, FL Studio) and platforms for interdisciplinary / cross-medium work (like Max/MSP, etc).

When I applied to art colleges, I was so disheartened by the rampant insistence that I choose a medium. I didn’t like the feeling of being forced to create within an established “language” (medium) that could be critically evaluated (by critics who specialized in media). Then I found California Institute of the Arts, was accepted, and played and played and played and finally found my voice. A voice that was me, and not limited to choice of media, but one that used media to express the ideas I wanted to introduce to the world.

And that, I feel, is true contemporary artistry. Knowing that the clay of the world is yours to play with and yours to enjoy.

Quench

Quench is a side project of Don and Roel Funcken, the Netherlands-based brothers who record under Funckarma and have released on various labels such as Dub, U-cover, Neo Ouija, Musik Aus Strom, and Delikatessen.

Ochre

Ochre is Chris Leary, a music graduate currently residing in Birmingham, England. Leary began writing electronic music in 2001, releasing his music directly onto the Internet, getting involved with online electronic music communities, and consequently slowly but surely building a fan base. In 2002, he won a remix contest held by Rephlex artist Global Goon, which helped to further strengthen his reputation as an artist across the net.

Since then, Leary has released his debut EP, Sound System Bangers Volume 1 on the fledgling Repeat Music imprint, which has been well received by music critics and fans alike (the curiously inapt title notwithstanding), and has enjoyed radio exposure on Mary-Ann Hobbs’ ‘Breezeblock’ show on BBC Radio 1, as well airplay on London’s Xfm and Resonance FM stations. Also, he has also provided compilation tracks for UK labels such as Toytronic Records, Rednetic Recordings, Boltfish Recordings, Audiobulb Records and US-based Unschooled Records.
