Been awhile. Just been living life in the now.

I hope everything has been going well with you.

Been a long time trying to make this piece.

My friend Dominic is now a co-author for Infusica!
Some great posts to start coming out from him. Here's his first.

Enjoy some smooth sounds from Spanish group "Cannons".

 

Bay Area people! I'm playing my first Club gig in San Francisco as "Aquarius" on July 29th! The show is free and the music is Drum and Bass. Buy some drinks and get dancing (some of the drink proceeds go to us DJ's). Going to be a lot of fun!

Searching through my crates (youtube videos) of music, I stumbled upon this awesome music blog. Since I really liked the way BOLD introduced music to people, I decided to contact the person running it. I asked to him if we could do an interview about what he was doing and he agreed. Big up to BOLD. Muy groovy.

So what is BOLD all about?

BOLD is a system, a network, a community with class. It started out as an idea of bringing people together and helping them associate music with colors. When you examine the colors of the rainbow, you can divide them into cold and warm sections. But that wasn't enough.

When you scroll through Youtube, you can see lots of channels which are sorting music by genre and adding a color. This is not the case. I want to people to feel the color and let my videos set their mood. I wanted the design to be simple and minimalistic. I'm not making video masterpieces, so the videos must not attract attention while you're just listening. The video consists of a single circle, which you'll get to know soon...

-------------------------------------

What kind of music do you post?

Honestly, I do not have certain music genres which I'm following. Music is magnificent, and if I think it suits the color, I attach it. I will try to describe it via the playlists. They are consisted of moods, as following:

Green > Positive

Cyan > Hype

Brown > Funk

Red > Energy

Magenta > Buzz

Purple > Bass

Blue > Calm

and one extra playlist which you'll have to check out for yourself.

The main idea is that you come to the website or the Youtube page, analyze the mood you want to be in, pick that playlist, and you know the rest. Or if you're up for adventures and like to live dangerously, tune in to the 'Rainbow' playlist which consists of all the colors (except the extra playlist).

I'll give you a little taste of what you can expect, with these examples...

PURPLE > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkNk91Wpo-Q

GREEN > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d2209tZkZ8

RED > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIsVqhL0E-E

-----------------------------------------

Why did you start BOLD?

Well, I'm a Computer Science & Mathematics major, but have always been in love with graphic design and music. One day, I was scrolling through Soundcloud and thought came to me "Why not categorize music by something else, other than genre?". And so, you have one person utterly obsessed with colors and music, and you introduce him to the Internet. What else could have happened? And I have to tell you, I'm enjoying every bit of it. It doesn't take much time out of my daily routine because I used my Computer science knowledge to simplify everything. The community is growing and I've gained a lot of acquaintances, discovered a lot of new genres.

Where can we find your music?

Currently there are two ways. You can browse it directly from Youtube (http://youtube.com/user/boldofficial ), but if you want a cleaner layout I highly recommend the official website ( http://boldofficial.url.ph )
