Interview: Jaime Ibarra
“I was originally built in Spain, but I grew up in Australia: it’s complicated, but it explains the funny accent.
I am a Professional Portrait/Art Photographer, but I am also known to do Editorial, Fashion, Commercial and Advertising work.
My work is widely published here on Earth, as well as…well, that’s the only planet I am aware of, so far. There’s still time yet, though.
My ‘style’ is the visual amalgamation of over 15 years in Graphic Design, 25 years of composing & performing music, many years spent traveling around the planet, a lifetime of over-romanticizing things, insomnia, an inexplicable ability to hear what colours would sound like if they could sing (Synaesthesia, anyone?), an unfaltering fascination with humans, and an obsessive need to create.
It all adds up. Somehow.”

A Talk With Ashley Lebedev, Conceptual Photographer
Ashley Lebedev is unlike any photographer I know. Her style is unforgettable. She tells stories with her art and leaves viewers feeling like they have been kicked in the gut (or the heart). Just the kind of art I like. I was fortunate enough to interview Ashley, and publish some of her work on the Nonsense Society website. Please enjoy.
Meet Chris Greenwood
The world needs to get ready for singer-songwriter Chris Greenwood. I had the pleasure of speaking with him and filming a couple live performances. Chris’ music has more heart than anyone I know. Get ready to fall in love with Chris Greenwood.
Catya Maré: New Age Songwriter, Violinist, and Producer
Catya’s story of how she came to fame is a good one. She found herself tired of the classical music world, got sick with the flu, and randomly decided to write her own music. It turns out that all the people who said, “You can’t make a living playing your own music,” were wrong. Since then, Catya Maré has won the Hollywood Music in Media Award, Billboard World Song Contest, been appointed voting member for the 2011 Grammys, and been featured in multiple movies and TV shows. Nonsense Society welcomes Catya Maré into it’s legions of creatives who stand out where others usually blend in.
Marie Hsiao: An Interview
Marie “mree” Hsiao is currently dominating YouTube with her talent and charm. You will usually find her singing behind a guitar or piano. Aged at only 16, Marie is a mighty force to be reckoned with. We had the chance to ask her a few questions and pick her brain. The Nonsense Society is glad to welcome her to its ranks before she becomes too famous (which she no doubt will).
What is your motivation for all of this? Is it to entertain? Do you want to be famous? Do you want money?
There is no greater feeling than seeing people enjoy my music. It is such a crazy idea that songs an inexperienced teenage girl writes about are being heard and enjoyed by a number of people. What I truly aim to get out of my musical career is for people to take my music for what it is and enjoy it. Sure, money is always great but it isn’t what my focus is. I would still be happy playing in a cute little coffee shop for free to people who enjoy it.
An Interview With Fábio Sasso
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Fábio Sasso. He is a graphic designer, web-designer, and creator of the awesome design blog Abduzeedo (you might have heard of it). If you haven’t heard of Abduzeedo, you need to check it out. It’s an incredible resource for getting inspired and learning about design. In fact, Abduzeedo consistently acts as an inspiration for us at the Nonsense Society. Besides his business, Fábio is just a super nice guy. What strikes me about Fábio is that he never tried to make Abduzeedo a huge thing. It kinda just happened because he was doing what he loved. Everything he did you can do right now. Keep reading to find out how he created his own success.
An Interview With Yoann Lemoine
I recently interviewed filmmaker/director/photographer Yoann Lemoine. Prior to 2004 Yoann studied animation, illustration, and screen-printing. After illustrating children’s books he went on to direct television commercials and music videos. Below you can watch the music video to Moby’s new single “Mistake” from the album Wait For Me, directed by Yoann Lemoine. He lives in Paris and New York, directing films, animating, illustrating, printing, sculpting, knitting, and making collages. Yoann describes his work as follows: “I could say my creations are related to subjects such as childhood, absence, nostalgia, sexuality, fashion, symbolism, and of course that patchwork, that collision between different worlds and techniques, which is what I’m made from, I guess.”
An Interview With Zoë Keating
I recently had the chance to interview acclaimed musician, Zoë Keating. Zoë has been called a “one-woman orchestra,” layering her cello into unique and captivating works. She has worked with Imogen Heap, Mark Isham, The Dresden Dolls, Rasputina, DJ Shadow, and Paolo Nutini. Her self-produced album “One Cello x 16: Natoma” soared to #1 on the iTunes Classical charts and #2 on the Electronica charts.
