nyhavnWent to Copenhagen for a few days last week. Its a nice city, although I didn’t take as many pictures as I normally would - or rather I wasn’t very happy with a lot of the ones I did take so just a small set on flickr.

I’ve a couple of rolls of film to get developed as well on the fisheye so hopefully there’ll be something worthwhile there. Copenhagen is a nice compact city much like Dublin. Easy to walk around and safe enough for the most part. Went out to Christiania one afternoon but no pics of the experience as the place was littered with No Camera signs.

Some cities are more conducive to photo taking then others, I don’t know if it was the atmosphere or my own mood. Although I took the cameras with me I didn’t feel like using them that much, happier just to soak up the atmosphere and remember what its like to just wander a city and breathe it in. Perhaps I just needed to see with my own eyes rather than through a lens.

A few things I can’t get enough of right now…

1. Fever Ray - If I had a heart
Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson (lead vocalist with ‘The Knife’) has a new project called Fever Ray. If you haven’t already get thyself to itunes.


If I Had A Heart from Fever Ray on Vimeo.

2. M83 - Kim & Jessie \ Skin of the Night
I’ve already mentioned that listening to ‘Kim & Jessie’ is like wrapping yourself up in a John Hughes movie - by contrast ‘Skin of the Night’ tears the comforter away and leaves you bare. No official video for ‘Skin’ so here’s a live version - all 7 glorious minutes of it.

3. Zoë Keating - One Cello x 16
Formerly second chair in Rasputina, currently featured on Amanda Palmers solo album ‘Who Killed Amanda Palmer’ - Keating takes one cello, one macbook and makes an orchestra. Here’s ‘Tetrishead’ for a sampler.

4. The Presets - If I Know You
Simply sublime video and song.
