Layer 3
"Flying Lotus 'Layer 3' - A Red Bull Music Academy Film from Red Bull Music Academy on Vimeo
Our new mini-documentary peeks behind the scenes of Flying Lotus’s new live audiovisual extravaganza, 'Layer 3' – which the Academy was proud to assist with developing in support of the 'Until The Quiet Comes' tour. Made with the help of visual artists Strangeloop and Timeboy, the trio have devised a method of transporting FlyLo into outer dimensions using two transparent scrims and interactive front and rear projectors, conjuring nothing short of the acid-fried Space Odyssey "Stargate" scene."

It's pretty neat how FlyLo described himself as a homebody, but now that he feels he has purpose he needs to go out and share that purpose with the world. I think we're all in search of that happy place and its an accomplishment that Flying Lotus has finally come to his or at least that that first level of higher satisfaction.
It's fun to think about our own pursuits, if we have found something important to us, and where they will take us. It's not that difficult to step back and analyze our lives to see if we're going in the right way, we just need to do it. I spoke with Jeff Svoboda of First Floor Surfboards and I could tell that, though he's busy as shit, he's doing his thing and really vibin' his situation. It shows in the quality and uniqueness of his surfboards. Refreshingly enough as bumping into a friend like Jeff is, it seems like many people I meet and know are just floating through life. A tough thing to discover for yourself is a purpose and that's right in the ballpark of other existential things like the question, "who am I?"
enough.
I had to get a little deep right there for second. Feels good to do it sometimes. I love music and posting daily is one of my personal goals (albeit a smaller one in the grander scheme of things). Well, Happy Halloweiner, kiddos.
