Five Monkeys by Michael Basilico

“A simple, yet colorful, metaphor crafted to remind ourselves to question why we perform certain behaviors. As far as I learned this was not a literal experiment, just a fiction used in a business setting to provoke thought. The original source, history, and author seemed to have disappear into the vastness of the internet, but I would like to give them credit. Hopefully this does their idea justice and they don’t sue me.”

The World’s Most Important 6-Second Drum Loop

“This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the “Amen Break,” a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music – a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison’s 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.”

ASC – Auxiliary Podcast Episode 03 – December 2011

“The idea behind the Auxiliary podcast is to first and foremost showcase music that I’m into. Obviously, having a label gives me a platform to make my music accessible for the consumer, but the podcast acts as a further insight into what makes Auxiliary what it is.” – ASC.

Trash Time by Konnectedkollective

“Trash Time” heisst das aktuelle Projekt von Jose Manuel Cunquero alias Konnectedkollective, der in London, England lebt. Es zeigt Kunst im Zusammenspiel mit recycelten oder gefunden Gegenständen innerhalb der Stadt; weggeworfene Dinge sind die Komponenten einer sozialen Geschichte innerhalb eines auf Konsum basierenden Systems. Mehr von diesem Projekt gibt es entweder auf der Website des Künstlers oder auf seienr Behance-Galerie zu sehen.

Evolving representation of an object through time. Trash-time pursues to highlight the growing and defining personality of the object. All of them connected to a urban landscape, a moving city.

The streets, the walls, the lights, the silence, the life, the development, the history, the composition, the communication, the evolution… and everything else that the city throws away through furious production; all of these components represent a vision of a social history within a system based on consumerism. Using photography, digital media and illustration as tools of a creative Diogenes syndrome; offers a closer contact on the trash represented in art.
