    Frequencies: Early Echo

    It’s beautiful. Especially with headphones. Try watch.


    Surfer Kassia Meador Rides Nature’s Rhythms in Bruce Muller’s Short Film

    Longboard icon Kassia Meador floats serenely across the majestic waves in surfer and filmmaker Bruce Muller’s Echo. The visual meditation is the first of four shorts teasing the release this fall of Frequencies, an experimental documentary and visual essay by Muller shot at prime surfing destinations across Southern California. Starring Meador and with an original score from Los Angeles-based psyche-pop trio E.S.P, Frequencies aims to explore how man can find synergy with nature’s cycles. “Their are so many different frequencies all around us at all times: ocean waves, sound waves, light waves, infrared and many others outside our range, but all have an effect on us,” explains professional surfer and passionate photographer Meador. “There are many parallels we can connect between surfing and navigating life.” Having previously made the music video for Warpaint’s single “Elephant”, Florida-native Muller combined his love of surfing and the fantastical films of Ridley Scott, Andrei Tarkovsky and Akira Kurosawa in the upcoming feature. “We exist in a world that is vast and dynamic,” he says. “We’re using surfing as a medium to explore how we harness these energies and the effects they have on us.”

    In losing Adam Yauch — the musician and lyricist known to most as MCA — music has lost an icon, yes. But beyond that, for those who love what’s become known as “remix culture,” a musical movement is now minus one of its founding fathers. wired.com 

    In losing Adam Yauch — the musician and lyricist known to most as MCA — music has lost an icon, yes. But beyond that, for those who love what’s become known as “remix culture,” a musical movement is now minus one of its founding fathers.

  • As I develop the awakening mind I praise the Buddhas as they shine I bow before you as I travel my path to join your ranks I make my full time task For the sake of all beings I seek The enlightened mind that I know I’ll reap Respect to Shantideva and all the others Who brought down the darma for their sisters and brothersI give thanks for this world as a place to learn And for this human body that I will have earned And my deepest thanks to all sentient beings For without them there would be no place to learn what I’m seeing There’s nothing here that’s not been said before But I put it down now so that I’ll be sure To solidify my own views and I’ll be glad if it helps Anyone else out tooIf others disrespect me or give me flack I’ll stop and think before I react Knowing that they’re going through insecure stages I’ll take the opportunity to exercise patience I’ll see it as a chance to help the other person Nip it in the bud before it can worsen A chance for me to be strong and sure As I think on the Buddhas who have come beforeAs I praise and respect the good they’ve done Knowing only love can conquer in every situation We need other people in order to create The circumstances for the learning that we’re here to generate Situations that bring up my deepest fears So we can work to release them until they’re cleared Therefore, it only makes sense To thank our enemies despite their intentThe Bodhisattva path is one of power and strength A strength from within to go the length Seeing others are as important as myself I strive for a happiness of mental wealth With the interconnectedness that we share as one Every action that we take affects everyone So in deciding for what a situation calls There is a path for the good of allI try to make my every action for that highest good With the altruistic wish to achieve buddhahood So I pledge here before everyone who’s listening To try to make my every action for the good of all beings For the rest of my lifetimes and even beyond I vow to do my best to do no harm And in times of doubt I can think on the dharma And the enlightened ones who’ve graduated samsara- Adam “MCA” Yauch, The Bodhisattva Vow via 

    As I develop the awakening mind
    I praise the Buddhas as they shine
    I bow before you as I travel my path to join your ranks
    I make my full time task
    For the sake of all beings I seek
    The enlightened mind that I know I’ll reap
    Respect to Shantideva and all the others
    Who brought down the darma for their sisters and brothers

    I give thanks for this world as a place to learn
    And for this human body that I will have earned
    And my deepest thanks to all sentient beings
    For without them there would be no place to learn what I’m seeing
    There’s nothing here that’s not been said before
    But I put it down now so that I’ll be sure
    To solidify my own views and I’ll be glad if it helps
    Anyone else out too

    If others disrespect me or give me flack
    I’ll stop and think before I react
    Knowing that they’re going through insecure stages
    I’ll take the opportunity to exercise patience
    I’ll see it as a chance to help the other person
    Nip it in the bud before it can worsen
    A chance for me to be strong and sure
    As I think on the Buddhas who have come before

    As I praise and respect the good they’ve done
    Knowing only love can conquer in every situation
    We need other people in order to create
    The circumstances for the learning that we’re here to generate
    Situations that bring up my deepest fears
    So we can work to release them until they’re cleared
    Therefore, it only makes sense
    To thank our enemies despite their intent

    The Bodhisattva path is one of power and strength
    A strength from within to go the length
    Seeing others are as important as myself
    I strive for a happiness of mental wealth
    With the interconnectedness that we share as one
    Every action that we take affects everyone
    So in deciding for what a situation calls
    There is a path for the good of all

    I try to make my every action for that highest good
    With the altruistic wish to achieve buddhahood
    So I pledge here before everyone who’s listening
    To try to make my every action for the good of all beings
    For the rest of my lifetimes and even beyond
    I vow to do my best to do no harm
    And in times of doubt I can think on the dharma
    And the enlightened ones who’ve graduated samsara

    - Adam “MCA” Yauch, The Bodhisattva Vow
