DoerCast Episode 5 - Frantisek Storm

DoerCast is starting a short, but impressive, design series; this episode features Frantisek Storm, one of the world's best type designers, who came to Romania to open an exhibition of the Czech Cultural Center of Bucharest at Una Galeria. Mr. Storm was also kind enough to hold a type design workshop for Filter Design Competition.

Diana and I got to speak to him, a colleague of his and a student of theirs (whose names, I must say, regrettably, I didn't understand)on the third day of their stay, after they visited the National Art University and after seeing the Stencils of Bucharest. We discussed about different approaches to academic education, we discussed about type and type design, about Bucharest, stencils and street art.

One of the best moments of our discussion was when Mr. Storm showed us his Stencilul Font - a font that was inspired to him by a stencil in Bucharest, and that he put online for anyone to download for free.

DoerCast Episodul 4 - Trei Parale

Inainte sa ii scoatem la ceai si sa inregistram o discutie cu ei, i-am ascultat pe cei de la "Trei parale" in concert. Si putem spune ca ne-au purtat prin locuri si prin timpuri de care am simtit cum ni se face dor, fara sa fi avut vreodata contact cu ele. Ne-au facut sa ne simtim "rasfatati", pentru ca ne-au spus povesti la fel de frumoase cum ascultam cand eram foarte, foarte mici. Asta pentru ca prietenii de la "Trei parale" sunt o "adunatura" de artisti foarte speciali, care se incapataneaza sa nu lase muzica veche romaneasca sa se piarda.

Despre etnomuzicologie, despre cercetarea prin sate cu trei case, despre cobze si chiar despre manele intr-o frumoasa poveste despre pasiune.

La insistentele noastre, Trei Parale au si blog.
