Moscow with SMDB: Episode1, The Arrival

Boarding to Moscow, via Francfort… Da, a snapshot of me in a hurry: natural predisposition for missing flights! I’m on my way to meet the SMDB, to shoot pictures of their xpress tour in Moscow. Sounds exciting. Wow Moscow: the absolut exotism. I have in mind all those movies with spies and the Kremlin during the cold war, some James Bond with Sean Connery. And of course today Moscow, one of the trendiest cities: thanks Louis Vuitton guide! That I won’t have time to check during this trip dedicated to this urban phenomenon: some “fluo kids” (as Pedro Winter’ll explain me later at Castelbajac show) enjoy dancing the Milky Way on techno music.

Moscou avec la SMDB: Episode1, l’arrivée

Embarquement immédiat pour Moscou, via Francfort… Oui, moi version speedée: prédisposition naturelle à rater mes vols! Je rejoins la SMDB, pour faire quelques clichés de leur tournée express moscovite. Excitant. Moscou: l’exotisme total, ma première fois. Des images plein la tête, de films de contre-espionnage: Kremlin période guerre froide, James Bond avec Sean Connery. Associées au Moscou d’aujourd’hui, ville ultra tendance de tous les excès. Merci le guide Louis Vuitton que je n‘aurai absolument pas le temps de consulter de tout ce séjour! Ce voyage est dédié au phénomène urbain. Des “fluo kids” (comme dirait Pedro Winter interviewé plus tard chez Castelbajac) qui s’éclatent à danser le Milky Way sur un beat concurrent de la Tecktonik.

Philadelphia: Sun Ra, jazz band

To end 2008 in music: my funny bizarre meeting with the mythical Jazz band, Sun Ra created by the eponymous virtuoso charismatic founder, dead in 1993. How to discribe you Sun Ra‘s music: inspired and avant-garde and elitist… coming from a far Cosmos, Saturn, I quote. And the veterans looks are also inspired. Shiny shiny like stars. Thanks to the mystery connection with the ring of Saturn, three Venus girls: Akemi San, Miss H and I, have been transformed in ballet dancers (a short of Isadora Ducan of the futur) and champagne guests for the Jazz band during few hours, a New Year Eve, in the really smart Culture Center of Philly! I precise the pink dress belongs to a lady of the audience. And perfectly illustrates the mix between arty and bobo more highbrow than bohemian. The America of indpendant movies. Enjoy the flav!

And please before leaving don’t forget your Boosty Collins jacket and miniature disco bowl, to bring back the crazy feeling at home sweet home: freaky groovy 09!
