OH HEY MADISON, WI!

I recently spent a week in Madison, WI – the state’s capitol city and alma mater of Matt, Polymathic’s senior developer. Too bad Matt’s in Africa right now, because I’m sure he would have loved to spend an afternoon around the square with us…

If you’re ever looking for some daytime fun in Madison, here’s what I recommend: Get some lunch at Graze, one of those awesome small restaurants that get all their food from local providers. After that, stop in to look at some classy shoes at Shoo. (Note: Even if you’re confused with shoes like I am, it’s fun to check out all the groovy vintage clothes in the basement!) Then, ya gotta check out an exhibition at MMoCA, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. Finish up the afternoon with some frothy coffee at Barriques. And, of course, enjoy feasting your eyes on the cool-looking capitol! What a snowy, wonderful city!

BEHIND THE SCENES OF “SHIMODA”

Here’s some behind the scene shots from October’s music video shoot of Michele de Wilton’s newest single, “Shimoda”. Polymathic teamed up with the crew of Lutraphobe films for this Japanese-inspired video, and it was a blast. We shot at the incredible Chicago Botanic Garden 20 miles north of Chicago. The landscape of the Chicago Botanic Garden is GORGEOUS! Talk about a rare gem in the Midwest.

The video is set to release on 1/19/2011.

Michele and her husband were an absolute joy to work with. We wish them the best of luck with Michele’s newest album, “Daydream,” which is set to be released on 2/14/2011.
