The crew and I thought we'd keep this edition short and sweet. Whether you've been part of the family for years, or new to KARJAKA our narrative has always been to bring out the ineffable of our clients in our imagery and direction. This online zine/magazine, or whatever you want to call it, has had a mission to not only show off our iconic studio work, but also give a voice to our clients on a larger scale, through readership, design/layout reposting, and highlighting their own business/lives and best practices to help build your empire. 

Are holiday scams all that different than normal run-of-the-mill cyber scams? No & Yes.All scams rely on victims being greedy or being confused.

This time of the year is always a bum rush to the end of the year.  It feels like the shortest month—even though there are 31 days officially.  It is, however, the shortest month of the year in terms of daylight hours so it also feels like days are truncated.  Coupling the short days with end of the year business financials, holiday obligations with friends and family and all styles of celebrations.  I love this time of year.  It is the time of year in which I live off adrenaline though and burn candles (literally) for day-long durations. 

The score of a musical work is fascinating. As a composer, I spend hundreds of hours alone with a score to unearth and present the uniqueness of every sound. I consider the physicality of a sound, both in the depth of overtones and frequencies and in the most mi-nuscule human motions it takes to produce them. I consider texture, the harsh and grinding color of the cellist utilizing over-pressured bowing, and the intimate fragility of the flautist's unstable multi-phonic. I consider shape, from violent rhythmic gestures to light, lyrical flurries. I consider, how variations larger blocks made up of colors, texutres, layers, and rhythms work together to highlight every unique aspect of a sound. I consider the weight of each and every observance I make, and I ensure every mark in the score best reveals the essence of a sound.
