Q Dept + Tom Kuntz (photos) & BBQ (playlist)


just one week ago, Q Department launched The Directors Series...

Q Department Studios shape-shift into an avant-garde salon for writers, creatives and directors: a twilight members only. The Directors Series lends homage to the director as auteur of creating experiences. "Q Department consistently receives the most inspiring & surprising music direction from our collaboration with directors" says Drazen Bosnjak. "We thought it would be interesting to have an evening that amplified that experience".

director TOM KUNTZ graciously accepted the invitation to kick off the series by curating a musical journey for the evening, with the help of a wizard who presented Tom's eclectic mix like a restaurant menu. coupled with the full moon, the wizard set the story arch which peaked when an Oscar winning writer/director arrived and performed an impromptu drum set that was astonishingly coherent to Tom'smusical menu. just another happy accident that makes it all worth while.

the secret service swarmed in when the more attractive twin daughter of President George W Bush arrived to join the festivities. Drazen, Q Department's very own love guru didn't hold her pedigree against her, nor did anyone else. truth be told, no one really knew who she was, nor was the party crowd sober enough to notice the secret service. then again, the focus was on the music...

aiiight, enough of this. i figured some of you don't really know who i work with & it would be nice to elaborate a little on Q Department. since a picture is worth a thousand words... i'm posting many so i'm including a chill playlist, as a soundtrack to this series of photos:
