Post Modern Skateboard Shamanism

fekaylius — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:02:55 +0000

Things are being shattered: expectations and approaches. Skateboarding is being reverse engineered through a kind of shamanism. This is a really stimulating look at creativity on a board.

Skate Video Night debrief

jason — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 03:53:25 +0000

A great time was had by the small knot of homies that craned their necks between sips of draft Ranier to treat their eyeballs to a mix of nostalgic (bones brigade stuff, chocolate classics including ‘mouse’), historic (skateboard kings, a bbc documentary from 1978) and current (éSpecial) skateboard videos projected with DJ Pat Smith’s selection of skate rock. By the way, Pat’s not afraid to mix out johnny rad’s cliche monologue about not looking too hard for animal chin.

So, the event is a weekly one at Dunes, 1909 NE MLK, and you can keep up to date on here on this blog, or directly on the myspace page

oh yeah, we also highly encourage people to bring videos they own, or have made, or have remixed, etc.

WISE UP

fekaylius — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 00:49:58 +0000

This just in from Dan Garland of the Pharmacy:

There is a new opening coming up this Saturday night at Pharmacy. This time around it’s the artist by the name of WiSE. He is a really great guy and his work is amazing, so I hope you can come by and meet him. Also, the show will be a benefit for Skaters for Portland Skateparks and all the work is going to be priced affordably, so you can come see some great art and help get more skateparks built in Portland all at once!

Voodoo Vegan donuts will be in the house as well.

Saturday July 7th
7pm-9pm

Cal’s Pharmacy

About The Artist:
Wise draws heavily from his own life in his work and paints a colorful world
that is a mirror of his own reality, exploiting imperfections and praising the
norm. His inspiration varies, ranging from a strangers smile to a phone call
from a friend. Wise works entirely with recycled materials, discarded wood and
miss-mixed house paint.

Musique Concrete: skateboard as digital musical instrument

fekaylius — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 00:46:16 +0000

Jake keeps talking about contact mics or other sensors on the coping at the skatepark, then doing some kind of contest for longest grind based on data from these sensors. But, this skateboard is pretty sick too, ok, sicker!

Musique Concrete: skateboard as digital musical instrument: “David Pescovitz:
Artist Simon Morris outfitted a skateboard with various sensors that convert acceleration, turns, and vibration into data that’s wirelessly transmitted to a laptop. The computer than translates that data into sound, generating an ‘acoustical map’ of the city being thrashed. From the description of the project, titled Musique Concrete:

Tricks and movements generate real-time sounds allowing the skateboarder to composes his/her soundtrack of the city. Furthermore, combining tricks and movements result in unique and often unexpected musical compositions. Used in conjunction with ramps, obstacles, ledges and other architectural elements that make up the skateboarder’s universe, Musique Concrete provides the listener with a sonic imprint of the urban environment.
