Instagram Takeover: Erick Urgiles

  • June 1, 2015

@erickhercules DOES #INSPIREDBYSOUND TAKEOVER, MAY 29, 2015

Whenever we can, we have photographers takeover our Instagram page for a weekend to talk music and show how their photography is #InspiredBySound. This past weekend we had Erick Urgiles (@erickhercules) takeover and levitate everything. See either our feed or below on how music inspires his photography.

Good morning guys! This is erick (@erickhercules) welcoming you to my weekend takeover for Grado’s #inspiredBySound! Super stoked to share some things about me as well as to let you guys know which songs inspire and spark my creativity. Let’s start by Seinabo Say’s “younger”. The chorus that follows her very thoughtful lyrics goes; “when you know you’re not getting any younger, are you? “. This small portion of the song really made me question what I was really doing with my life. It inspired me to live life to the fullest as much as possible one day at a time. One day you’ll look back and realize that time went by super fast, so in the meantime you should take as many possibilities to live as possible!

kwabs’ “Last Stand” is literally the song I listen to whenever I want to capture Levitation songs! The song’s mood provides me with such a momentum . Do you have a favorite song that gets you in the zone? – @erickhercules #InspiredBySound ✖️ #welevitate

‘Summertime’ – Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong (from “Porgy and Bess”) Whenever I’m stressed, this song always has the right elements to soothe, calm and relax me. That trumpet solo by Luis is one of my all time favorites! Who is your favorite Jazz musician!? – @erickhercules #InspiredBySound

“Free bird “- by Lynyrd Skynyrd. This song is about 9 minutes long, but oh, so good! I believe it’s literally a whole life story set to a tune. It reminds me so much of the time I took this picture. It began super peaceful with me feeding the bird… and it ended with the bird chasing me for more bread (intense), haha. The intensity of this song -specially at the end – is crazy good. That guitar solo in the last few minutes is insane! – @erickhercules #InspiredBySound

“I can’t write left handed”- John Legend & the Roots. This song, which was written and first performed by Bill Withers, is one of those tunes that makes me feel thankful for everything I have. It’s about the made up story of a war veteran who is asking someone to write a letter to his mom for him because his right arm just got shot and he “can’t write left handed”. I know.. such a positive and uplifting way to start the day haha. It’s such a great song though, you should definitely check it out! Good Morning!! – @erickhercules #welevitate #InspiredBySound

@a24 asked us to build limited editions for Jonah Hill in honor of his directorial debut Mid90s. We didn’t have time to see it in theaters but heard it’s 👌🏻. (if you’re wondering why it’s Mid 90’s instead of Mid90s it’s because the name changed during production 🤷🏻‍♂️) | #since1953 1K 8
