behind the scenes at atlantico.

Korneel Bouman and I ran Atlantico out of a loft space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Our factory was in Portugal, and our business partner (Luis de Oliveira from De La Espada) was based in England. While many things can be done remotely, refining the design of fifteen modern furniture pieces isn’t one of them. So Korneel and I spent a week with Luis in both London and Portugal — ensuring that production of initial prototypes was going well, tweaking the design, and getting to know the personalities at the factory.

for the past two and a half months, i’ve been holed up at EVB with my team, cranking away on an absolutely amazing site. it’s been an interesting experience — at times painful and emotional, at other times fun and exciting.

the effort finally paid off today, when we launched the experience website for the 2010 toyota prius.

check it out here.

we worked with an amazing team at saatchi la, and one of the best cg studios in the business, laika. everyone is extremely proud of this site, and rightfully so — it’s one hell of an accomplishment.

read about prius in my portfolio.

i spent a lot of time converting the old husani.com into a wordpress template. it was my first time doing such a customized wordpress build, so i ended up editing quite a bit of the core. wanting the ability to upgrade when required, i recently decided to start over — this time, not touching the core and simply making a theme.

granted, there’s some backend work happening in the theme (mainly for connecting press/award pages with portfolio entries), but now i can safely upgrade. i also decided to re-skin things and make it a bit less boring.

welcome to husani.com v8. and, you know, the future and stuff.

(updated to add: i haven’t done a full IE6/IE7 test yet, so apologizes if things are … weird, in a microsoft-browsers-suck sort of way.)

yet another mime massacre?

or MJ convention gone wrong?

two words.

MIME MASSACRE.

vivaldi’s “nulla in mundo pax sincera”

husani — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 06:45:31 +0000

the lyrics to one of my all-time favorite pieces of music.

Aria:
Nulla in mundo pax sincera
sine felle; pura et vera,
dulcis Jesu, est in te.
Inter poenas et tormenta
vivit anima contenta
casti amoris sola spe.

Recitative:
Blando colore oculos mundus decepit
at occulto vulnere corda conficit;
fugiamus ridentem, vitemus sequentem,
nam delicias ostentado arte secura
vellet ludendo superare.

Aria:
Spirat anguis
inter flores et colores
explicando tegit fel.
Sed occulto factus ore
homo demens in amore
saepe lambit quasi mel.

Alleluia.
