Diego Stocco is known for making musical pieces using samples of natural sounds. Here is a short video he shot using only a Bonsai tree. Besides playing the leaves, he used bows of different sizes, a piano hammer and a paintbrush.
In Cars. An Activation.

Gary Numan + DieHard Battery = Story Telling.
Brilliant personality selection and brand activation. Get Gary Numan and a few dozen cars, one battery and prove a point. All while visually entertaining and putting DieHard Batteries into our subconscious. Done.
(Boing Boing recently posted this but I had to give it props for the once-over.)

Complete brand immersion and highlight at the product level - getting into the hands of the perfect demographic.
People who love music (skull candy headphones) and well produced video release of the campaign taking advantage of the content and repurposing across various mediums/channels. Doing an activation at an event like a Ski/Snowboard Festival - is brilliant.
Nice work.

Designer Mike Shinoda
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010By Todd Ross
Shinoda’s exploration of the celebrity-dom theme-one he knows well as a member of the band Linkin Park-runs full circle, with acrylic works that chronicle society’s over-the-top preoccupation with fame, wealth and excess, a message carried out by way of a pivotal skeleton figure used to reflect a modern day vanitas.
Really liking Mike’s work and inspiring use of process/materials/technologies. Art, Digitial, Scale, Music - Shephard-like but still unique in it’s own right and execution.
2009-The Year in Music
Thursday, December 31st, 2009
Posted by Jim Otey
The first buzzword of ‘09 has to be fusion. New combinations of R&B, hip-hop, rock, dance, Latin and country continued to emerge with help from acts like Kid Cudi, Asher Roth, 3OH!3, Pitbull, LMFAO, Wale, Infected Mushroom, Lady Gaga and even Lo Cash Cowboys. And it looks like the trend will accelerate in the coming year.
Coming in at No. 2 is style. The days of bands showing up wearing whatever was clean (or not) seem to be coming to an end. Whether it’s the preppy chic of bands like Vampire Weekend, the semi-glam looks sported by The Killers and Fall Out Boy or the all-out glam favored by Adam Lambert, the wigged-out esthetic of LMFAO or the high style glamour of Beyoncé and Rihanna, artists have started dressing for success again.
Of course the queen of that movement (and one of the main forces driving it) is none other than Lady Gaga. In fact, I think it’s pretty clear that Lady G. is unquestionably the most influential artist of 2009. (There I said it. You can call me names and argue with me as much as you like, but that won’t change the fact that her impact is huge. I knew the singer was going to be big as soon as I heard “Just Dance.” If only I’d known how big.
