Ben Von Wildenhaus - "The Limping Axeman": SXSW 2012 Showcasing Artist
Benjamin von Wildenhaus. Name sounds like a turn-of-the-century Prussian duke or peddler of curios, snakeoil and ersatz jewelry. Maybe not such a bad set of images to start by thinking about, rather than all his influences or whatever. Ben Wildenhaus is a guitar player, pianist and all-'round musical dude, on par with modern guys like Alan Bishop and older ones like Sandy Bull. All three were drawn to the vast space, windblown grit and non-Western twang of desert guitar/oud music. None went the tacky world [sic] music route, Allah etc. be praised. All three instead took gracefully and intuitively to the music's deeper structure%mdashhazy or unmarked beginnings and endings, subtle dynamic rise and ebb, and unhurried play%mdashand adapted it into their own idiom. They've given us ambitious wandering soundscapes, suitable for salt trading by caravan, qat chewing in humid caf%eacutes, and walking to work with your headphones on. To me, Wildenhaus has always made good use of tools like a light touch, melody and subtlety in his songs.

Who has turquoise hair, can sing any Japanese songs you like and drives a Toyota Corolla? You're looking at her, and this video can show you how to look like her. This video would work well for those who want to dress up like Miku at her concerts, anime events and expos and more! ( fyi, Miku doesn't wear hairbands, but I had to wear a few because I was in the desert filming this scene. It was so windy, my hair was flapping everywhere and getting all tangled. How did Rapunzel do it?! Seriously!) Hatsune Miku is a vocaloid, she's not an anime or hologram, this video explains it pretty well and shows you how to use the vocaloid program. It may seem new to you, but it's been around in Japan for a while. Very cool stuff. www.youtube.com If you wanna check out really cool Hatsune Miku cosplay, you can find a lot on Google Image! I saw a bunch when I went to Akihabara while I was in Japan last week! Even men dress up like her, I was shocked! Haha!
