Music I Listened To Last Week

I have been going out of my comfort zone for the past several months and trying to listen to new types of music just to develop a better understanding of the scope of music. So far, I have come across lots of good music on bandcamp.com and soundcloud.com. Here is a list of some of the music I've found interesting in the past two weeks. Kindly comment with your thoughts on my selection and what new music you’ve listened to yourself in the past two months. (Most of these music can be found on bandcamp and soundcloud)

Wednesday March 12, 2014 MEET BRIAN MANASEH, THE YOUNG FASHION DESIGNER AT CRYSTAL PALACE FASHION HOUSE IN KISUMU So after I decided to go into this artist profiling initiative, the first two people I have been able to sit down and talk to at length have been fashion practitioners. The first as you know by now was the talented Taib Nyamenya who shared his experience with us at length. Brian Manaseh is another equally promising upcoming fashion designer.  His works bring out the elegance of the African fabric widely known as Ankara in both casual and semi-official wear. His influences as you will find out below are West African, Nigerian specifically. Having been present at events where he has showcased his works in the past, I have witnessed the popularity he has gained among fellow students as a result of his works at Maseno University where he is currently in the second year of his Interior design course.

IDEARTISM vs. REARTISM in Ten Different Colors. My Reflections on Art. It was my birthday yesterday and since I am transitioning to a more challenging and engaging year of life, I decided to approach it differently and do something out of the normal while the birthday wishes were coming in. I have been working on this project for the past three weeks trying out several other designs before settling on this one that I decided to manipulate into other several colors with the help of the ever resourceful Sollo Kinuthia . Orange – The color of socia l communication and optimism. I have had my own share of these over the past year. Its optimism and hunger for conversations that has brought me this far. Yellow – The color of the mind and the intellect. I’m not so bad there. Still working on it. Green – The color of balance and growth.
