“I feel […] to make work, to make something unique is to put your whole life and experience into it, to trust your way and place in the world. We all have a unique voice but l think we often don’t trust it and maybe compare ourselves to others.

It is important to remember when trying to create your worlds that no-one else has seen what you have seen, no-one else has experienced the life you live, no-one else has an internal life like yours. If we can trust our own experience, no matter how ordinary our life may seem, from that truth we will find a voice that is our own.”

- an extract from our interview with photographer about his work “Love’s Fire Song”.

Lisbon is a vivid city, packed with stories, old and new ones. It’s probably one of our favorite cities we have been to when it comes to meeting and engaging with other creatives. Since we first tapped into the core of its music culture through our friends and , the band was always in the back of our heads.

Last week we sat down on a bench in Praça das Floras with and , the singer and guitarist of the band. We had a beer and talked about their approach to making music, and their slightly chaotic days right before their concert in MusicBox, in Lisbon.

A few days ago we had the pleasure to present four short films curated by the Düsseldorf based production company to an audience in Berlin. Lukas Tielkes whom we know since we started our making films ourselves premiered his film „Burrnesha“ that night. In a moody athmosphere it tells the story of three Albanian sworn virgins, physiological women, but men in their mannerism and role. We took the opportunity and asked Lukas about his aspirations with this film that deals with gender roles in a time of change.

While we are working on the 4th episode, some minor changes are happening here. We have realized that print is and will always stay our main focus and inspiration but especially music and film contributions are difficult to show in a printed version. We will try to find new ways to implement the films and music into our 4th episode but we hope you enjoy our new direction as a hybrid magazine with more visual and sonic experiences 💜👀

You can now also find films like “The Seeker” by fellow director from our second episode aside our new feature with the South African band online on hometownjournal.eu

Têtes by .

“The Heads date back to 1992 with the aim of observing a person, a body, by simplifying as much as possible the perception and the morphology of it. The body as seen from above reveals primarily and almost only the head. Despite a global vision of the model, the head practically hides the rest of the body. I still use an artifice that I will explain below. In contrast, with the idea of turning around and grasping the whole person, I later (in 1996) became interested in the body seen from below, which explains the title CDD: Corps Du Dessous.”

@kylequestt - „daydream“ is now streaming online 🤠 Originating in a modern pop style, Kyle Quest touches on everyday life situations through his positive atmosphere and upbeat music. Born in Cascais, the seaside of Lisbon, his lyrical narrative is heavily infused with all the good sides of living in a warm place with waves, love, and sunshine. Varying in genre and using a different aspect of his voice in every song, Kyle tries to keep a balance for himself, as he mentioned in an interview we had earlier today. We also spoke about his new song “Daydream” for which we produced a music video before his new EP is coming out in September this year. This film here would not have been possible without the support of our friends @christianrichter.color, @kjaggr who flew down to Portugal last minute with all his Steadicam gear; @manel.estriga who was a huge help on set and @roosvandalfsen who delivered delicious food to every shooting location. Watch the whole thing online via linktree. Please share the dream! ✨ #kylequest #daydream #printisnotdead #musicvideo #popmusic #blogpost #music #art #creativity

This film takes place in the moments before and days after a young Portuguese musicians first concert after a two-year-long pandemic.

This is its first chapter. The introduction of STCKMAN and his album with the same title. Go and check out the full film via our link in Bio 🍾 #documentary #lisboa #music #hometown #cristianoronaldo
