Other
Vancouver electro duo Data Romance showed promise on their 2011 self-titled EP. In four succinct tracks, they managed to convey their original brand of digital mood and gloom. Other is Data's first album, with Ajay Bhattacharyya and Amy Kirkpatrick delivering 12 chill-vibed minimalist originals that display a surprising ear for melodic structure. Early single “Caves” has a ‘90s trip-hop feel affected with Portishead-esque detachment. The standout track, “She’s Been High”, is the distilled sound of a digital nightmare. “Can’t Keep Your Mind Off” is an iTunes Single of the Week, available for free for a limited time. The duo has already earned a rep in the UK with Filter, NME and the Beeb all early believers.

Ajay Bhattacharyya and Amy Kirkpatrick first came together in their hometown of Victoria on Canada's Vancouver Island. Kirkpatrick had moved to Vancouver proper, where she started using her training to do lights for the city's biggest clubs. Bhattacharyya, meanwhile, had come to the city to study sound design for film. From the circuit-bending tonalities mirroring Nine Inch Nails to the feminine aspect evoking the mystical eroticism of Lykke Li, The Data Romance E.P. provides the first taster of what to expect from the band's full-length album, due out in 2012

The secret lair of Hans Zimmer, from where he inspires the world

Six days ago I was up at 3 AM, listening to Hans Zimmer while editing photos, and then I had an idea for a project with him, so I made a blog post. Now, less than a week later, I was in his studio in California! -
