Source(google.com.pk)ALIVE is is the culmination of some new work along with existing work that hasn’t been released for listening purposes (formerly just being licensed). Thanks to the legal walls coming down around those tracks, I can now make them available to everyone! Thanks for the contained support everyone, and please help me spread the word!
is a vibrant, colorful, and energetic song that hinges around a positive and uplifting hook that celebrates the love of summer, light and freedom of life! It’s addictive indie vibe and driving rhythm confidently capture the care-free spirit of discovery and adventure that is often associated with the summer time. “Alive In The Summer Time” features vocals by Tim McMorris and Khaili Conway.
The song was previously only available for licensing purposes, but after a lot of arm twisting and a huge demand for the song, I have removed the song from my exclusive AudioJungle account to make it widely available for you – on iTunes to start, and on more digital stores to come! Now, I will be licensing the song again so don’t worry those of you who are still looking for that. It will be available again shortly and I will let you know where very soon.
I also wanted to thank you guys – my friends and fans around the world who have been with me over the years and have supported my work; purchasing it along the way as new material has come out. You guys help me to keep writing and recording and I am forever grateful for that! While I can’t respond to every comment or e-mail I receive, I read (almost) everything.
It’s been a little while since my last single release, so today I am very excited to announce that my latest work “Dream Again” is now for sale on itunes and will be hitting all other digital stores in the next few days!
is a sweeping and uplifting piece that hinges upon beautifully and delicately framed piano arpeggios with a constantly transforming and evolving percussion bed. The complete song spectrum is comprised of common orchestral instrumentation (strings and horns) as well as some less common modern textures (synths and impacts). The combination of the two create a majestic unique piece that draws up feelings of inspiration, awe, triumph and wonder.
Graphic designer Clarence Mok sold his design firm Studio Archetype to Sapient Corp. in 1998, marrying their technical prowess to his graphic design.
Clement Mok worked briefly for the design department at CBS, then moved to Apple, where he joined the Macintosh team. During his stint as a creative director at Apple, he made computers friendlier and more accessible. When he left Apple to set up his own design firm, which he sold to Sapient Corp. in 1998. He currently serves on the board of directors of the American Institute of Graphic Arts.
Call it geek meets chic. When high-tech firm Sapient Corp. in Cambridge, Massachusetts, bought Clement Mok's ultra-hip design firm Studio Archetype in the summer of 1998, the move married Sapient's high-end technical prowess with Mok's sophisticated graphic design. It also seemed to further Mok's decades-long quest to make technology usable, intuitive and fun.
Mok was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, the son of a businessman and a homemaker from the Guongdong region of China near Hong Kong. In high school, hedreamed of becoming an architect, but shifted his focus to graphic design after he failed math. After graduating from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Mok worked briefly for the design department at CBS, then moved to Apple, where he joined the fledgling Macintosh team. During his five-year stint as a creative director at Apple, he made computers seem friendlier and more accessible than ever before. Among other familiar images, he designed the playful "Mac squiggle" logo--a spontaneous looking scrawl of a computer on a wide open white space.
When he left Apple to set up his own design firm, he continued to attract work from high-tech firms, including IBM and 3Com, and later Netscape. In 1992, he completed a CD-ROM project for the Mayo Clinic, publishing itshealth databases. By presenting the information with simple, colorful designs accented with pictures and graphics, Mok proved that even massive amounts of digital information could be fun and easy to absorb. While his design firm, first called Clement Mok Designs, then Studio Archetype, focused more on print materials than electronic media at first, he continued to pursue his interest in design. In 1994, he founded CMCD topublish the first CD-ROM of royalty-free images for digital use. The following year, he cofounded NetObjects, a software company that created the acclaimed Web design tool NetObjects Fusion. Fusion brought simplicity and sophistication to formerly clunky, technical HTML programming.
As demand for Web design increased, Studio Archetype made simple, elegant, and fun sites out of masses of corporate information for such industry giants as IBM. Mok cites Muppet creator Jim Hensen and composer Stephen Sondheim as heroes, and like those artists, he tries to inject his work with a sense of playfulness that makes even complex systems easy to navigate. In 1996, Mok set out his design philosophy in his book Designing Business. Most recently, he published the second edition, Designing Business 2.0 (2000), which highlighted design application and business principles within the context of today's digital media.
Mok currently serves on the board of trustees of his alma mater, the Art Center College of Design. He also serves on the board of directors of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and sits on the advisory boards of numerous technology companies and colleges.
Today, I'm a full-time rabid nature photographer whose major focus is conservation. I reside in the southern Columbia Valley of British Columbia, wedged between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the Purcells to the west, with my longtime partner Patti and our two almost human Portuguese Water Dogs - Jose and Poncho. The area in which I live has been called the "Serengeti of North America." It's not a bad place for a nature photographer to live, I say with my tongue firmly in place in my cheek!
I currently concentrate my photographic efforts in North America and, in particular, western Canada. I use the term "nature photographer" to describe myself, rather than the more limiting terms of "wildlife photographer" or "bird photographer" or even "bear photographer" (though I suspect some of the locals in the community in which I live probably think I'm a bit of a "bear nut"). I'm keen to aim my camera at anything "natural", though I rarely shoot landscapes, mainly because I don't feel my preferred camera format - the SLR camera - is the right tool for quality landscape work.
My photographic goal is to extract and expose the "natural art" that is all around us. My workflow is driven totally by image quality, not speed. The approach that works best for me is to concentrate on locations that are "close to home" where I can become intimately familiar with the local flora and fauna, their annual cycles, and the area's lighting characteristics. I normally take one or two annual trips to slightly more exotic locations, such as BC's Great Bear Rainforest or Churchill, MB (also known as "Polar Bear Central").
A few of my personality characteristics directly impact on my photography: I'm incredibly determined and persistent (some would say stubborn), somewhat anal (although I prefer the term "perfectionist"), observant and analytical (which comes from spending a lot of time studying birds in the field), and very comfortable with technology. And, more important than anything else, a natural early riser.
What pathway led me to where I am today? A somewhat indirect one, but it all makes sense to me: Biologist, Lecturer, Entrepreneur and Small Business Owner, Communications Consultant, Hi Tech Worker, and finally, Nature Photographer.
My original training - far too many decades ago - was in biology. I completed a B.Sc. is in Environmental Biology and a M.Sc. in Behavioural Ecology (the study of animal behaviour from an evolutionary perspective). My own research was in animal communication and territoriality and I used songbirds as my study subjects, in particular White-crowned Sparrows and both Mountain and Black-capped Chickadees (none of those macho-enhancing carnivores for me - I wanted good data!). While conducting my own studies I assisted in other projects on Snowy Owls, Red-tailed and Swainson's Hawks, Cougars, Black Bears, and Grizzly Bears in my spare time.
Following completion of my master's degree I spent a few years lecturing at the University of Calgary and a local college while I published the results of my research work. I have the perception (or possibly misconception) that I was an excellent lecturer for the keen and enthusiastic students, but I suspect the other students might describe me otherwise...
An odd transition (even for me!) left me as an entrepreneur and a small business owner. OK, I'll admit it - I was a partner in a high-end bicycle shop. For 10 years. During a local economic downturn. Hey...I learned a LOT and it was a great cover for an over-the-hill bicycle road racer!
Somewhere along the line I purchased myself a Macintosh computer (a truly life-changing event!) and taught myself a little about print layout and web design. And, before long I was busy designing and producing print ads and catalogs, websites, and writing for a few magazines. In a strange way it was good training enroute to becoming a nature photographer.
Next came a multi-year stint in the Hi-Tech sector. Caffeine-charged stuff. Good fun and heady times. I worked with Adobe Systems in San Jose (as Project Manager of the Plug-in Project and Manager of Worldwide Merchandising for Adobe.com) and Getty Images in Seattle (as Site Manager of all their royalty-free websites and Vice President of the Online Strategy and Design Department). Perfect training for a soon-to-be full-time nature photographer. Really.
In 2005 I closed the loop and decided to return to work with nature on a full-time basis. But now, instead of studying it, I'm photographing it. It's hard work, tough to make a living in, and decidely less glamourous than the life that many imagine it to be. And I love it.
