Music
Easy Listening Blanton Museum Podcasts
Commissioned for the opening of the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin, Music for the Blanton by Donald Grantham premiered on April 24 and April 30, 2006. The work is in 18 short movements and is scored for ten instruments. Eight of the movements are intended to depict musically specific works of art in the musuem's collection. These eight movements are connected by brief solos and duos intended to summon the audience from the location of one art object to the next, and the entire work is framed by a prelude and a postlude. The works of art date from the 15th to the late 20th century and the music reflects these periods in tone and tempo.

Why not eat insects?
Marcel Dicke makes an appetizing case for adding insects to everyone's diet. His message to squeamish chefs and foodies: delicacies like locusts and caterpillars compete with meat in flavor, nutrition and eco-friendliness.

How lucky is the little big city of Zürich to have Two Rooms and its founder Stefano Wieting and how lucky are we to have met Moritz Firchow, the founder of Arcademi, who introduced us to this project? Two Rooms is divided in a back room serving as a design melting pot and the front room as a concept store. Find a well-curated selection of ever-changing products for small budgets to even bigger and more expensive toys. Mr. Wieting knows how to arrange his jewelry, crystal glasses, racing bikes, big brand watches and our print publication Qompendium in his exquisitely yet subtly designed store.
