Lambs and Wolves aus Deutschland

I had the pleasure of filming a couple of songs with the talented guys from Lambs and Wolves as part of my ongoing Presented by Cafe Henrici series:

Summer Light
 

Memories of a Winter Day 

Lambs and Wolves played a show at Cafe Henrici before we filmed these. Watch them perform The Only Light from the Cafe Henrici Youtube Channel

Jailcard by Jane Lui

Here is the official video for Jailcard by Jane Lui.
 
This video was a fun to direct as it is to watch. I want to thank William Eubank for his beautiful photography and Matt Guttierrez for his kickass choreo.  

Jailcard is the first single from Jane's new album Goodnight Company which can be downloaded for FREE from janelui.com. Make sure you download it!! Also make sure to check out the Jane's YouTube channel.

Rita Hey

Here are two more videos in the Presented by Cafe Henrici series, this time with the country/folk duo Rita Hey. We found a cozy alley in the Niederdorf and they played two songs:

Professional Lovers by Rita Hey

I Am Here To Stay by Rita Hey

Later that evening Rita Hey performed at Cafe Henrici. You can see them perform Heavy Metal Relationship on Youtube. I really enjoyed their performance, and their album We Know You Well, Sweet Misery is also very good.

Americana by way of Portugal with "A Jigsaw"

On September 28th the Portuguese Blues/Folk band A Jigsaw came through Zürich on their European tour. In addition to their gig at Cafe Henrici, I also filmed a couple of live videos with them. It is hard to describe just how great these guys are. Just have a watch:

Return to Me by A Jigsaw
 

I  must admit that A Jigsaw is one of my favorite acts that has played at Henrici so far. Their album "Like the Wolf" is also very good. You can buy it from their online store or on iTunes.

Negishi.

A Negishi Coupling is a kind of chemical reaction named after Ei-ichi Negishi who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2010 along with Akira Suzuki and Richard F. Heck.

The Human Statues

A few weeks ago Jeff Bryant of the Canadian duo The Human Statues came through Zürich to play a gig at Cafe Henrici. The next day we got together and made a couple of videos in the Niederdorf. The first song was tricky for me because I was walking backwards:

The Man on the Radio by The Human Statues

The second song was tricky for Jeff because this time, he had to walk backwards. Playing guitar while walking backwards is probably harder than holding a camera.

Pocket Cam: Relic

It's been a while since my last Pocket Cam entry, and this one is the least "pocket" of them all because I happened to have my tripod and my Zoom H1 with me at the time:
 
Thanks to my friend Pascal Grob for being the man in the photobooth.

For those who are in Zürich, the photobooth is located near Goldbrunnenplatz.

Here's a website dedicated to the photobooth.

I Support the Tea Party

Gotcha! The tea party I am referring to is the Royal Tea Party, which was hosted a few weeks ago by Bellwether V here in Zürich. I was asked to make a document of the event:

That is traditional Tibetan music you hear starting about the halfway mark.

Instant Alchemy for Kimandra


I recently collaborated on a fashion shoot with my friend Andrea for her vintage fashion project Kimandra. I had been thinking for a while that it would be fun to shoot a project entirely on my Polaroid Image camera and she agreed, which is why we chose the name Instant Alchemy. We shot five different outfits during the shoot. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Kimandra is unique because any clothing you see in photos on the site are also for sale. About this concept they say:

"we believe that creating a love for the individual piece encourages long term use and therefore discourages consumerism and over production."

An admirable statement. Here are a few more shots from the Instant Alchemy shoot.
