https://play.3speak.tv/embed?v=stortebeker/585hbt2iThis video keeps getting lost. It was created waaaay before the actual construction documented in this series of posts, as the final project of one of our classmates from the Earthship Academy. Then it disappeared for a while, and when I finally got my hands on it again, I uploaded it onto the blockchain to keep it safe. That was over five years ago, on a platform that has stopped existing since. So I suppose the video is still up there, somewhere... but in order to watch it, I'll just do it again here.It's weird seeing how far we've come, and how our current building is worlds apart from what this video shows. Though, I gotta admit it, the way Mazunte and the surroundings are portrayed is also far from realistic. Still, something to enjoy.---▶ Watch on 3speak.tv

https://play.3speak.tv/embed?v=stortebeker/pm5nbox0This was the video for our crowdfunding campaign four years ago. Though the campaign itself is long and gone, the place, the people, and the theater are doing well. And I thoght it would be nice to have this video saved on the blockchain.For more stories about Itínera Theater and the construction of its building, visit my Earthship Theater Build in Mazunte post collection.---▶ Watch on 3speak.tv

Las Cantoras de la Costa is a choir composed of ten women based in and around the town of Mazunte, Oaxaca, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Their songs range from traditional folklore to modern interpretations, and are just as multicultural as the group's members.This video is a collection of my favorite moments of their first concert of the season, which took place in the Chiringuito bar on the beach of Mermejita.For more information about this amazing choir please visit Las Cantoras de la Costa.

A very simple topic, ideal for experiementing with video editing.

I know, the video is the same one I posted yesterday. However, this time I managed to make it vertical, which should (hopefully) qualify it for a 3Short, and thus the contest.

Just before leaving the property in Mazunte, having completed our Earthship-like building project, our neighbor Pablo came over with his GoPro Drone to take some pictures of the structure from up above.
Even though I was sure that I knew every viewpoint of this building, having worked on it for the last four months, I was amazed at the spectacular areal footage this machine captured. The most interesting aspect of it, after the reciprocal roof, is the berm with the curving concrete beam, forming the circle of the bond-beam, and curving back around the berm.
Thank you Pablo, for this great video!

On the last of being on the property after having successfully finished our Earthship-like structure our neighbor Pablo came over with his GoPro Drone to take some pictures and vids from above.
Though I thought that I knew all about this building, having worked on it for the last four months, I had to realize that from up above it did look a lot more impressive than I had expected. What a great footage, what a beautiful building!
Thank you Pablo!

As I mentioned before, we play a lot of music here at the Mazunte Earthship Build. Usually after lunch, during our siesta, one or another of us picks up a guitar, and either starts strumming a random rhythm, or tries out a song that happens to be passing through their mind. With a little help from their friends, or the all knowing internet, they may play one of the songs that we've listened to during work in the morning. Otherwise, they may just zone out by literally playing around, whichever way sounds pleasing to the ears.
After dinner, our music tends to be a bit different: a lot better sounding, though not any more organized. It usually starts with a few chords, and before you know it we're in the middle of a jam. This may be bluesy, folky, piratey (not surprising, with so many Frenchies around), Andean, Mexican, or something completely different. And as much as certain members are keen on playing and singing entire songs the way they were meant to be played, many others value the joy of improvisation. Needles to say, most of us have been playing for years, performing in bands, or writing and recording music at home.
Steph's band where he plays accordion I've mentioned before in this post. Romaine is a phenomenal guitarist, and harmonica player. Manu got himself a charango a couple years ago, and has gotten the others to practice some Andean folk songs. Julia plays on a number of instruments, but her favorite one is her newly acquired banjo-lele, a ukulele with the body of a banjo.
This is the core of the group. Additionally there are many visitors, volunteers, friends, or strangers who have found their way around many corners to our place, and can do amazing things with our instruments, go crazy on improvised percussion, or have beautiful vocal skills. In any case, it's always a joy to listen, and even more so to be part of the jam, if only by clapping or drumming on a carboy.
Here is a short clip to give you a taste of the incredible music that tends to spring up suddenly between dinner and bedtime, under our kitchen tree:
