MEGADETH & THE RECYCLED ORCHESTRA
The «Recycled Orchestra», made up of children living in the municipality of Cateura, located at the top of the largest garbage dump in the Paraguayan capital of Asunción. Cateura is in a place where parents cannot afford instruments for their children. A place where people live in, with and from waste. The ecologist and music teacher Favio Chavez opened a music school there. And so that the children can live out their creativity and receive hope for a better life, he has teamed up with Nicolás Gómez - nicknamed "Cola". This builds instruments from waste such as oil drums, spoons and water pipes. Everything is used and the youngsters play the waste instruments in Chavez's orchestra.
In 2010, a film crew met the children and young people of the orchestra for the first time and then filmed them in several stages. Next year the movie «Landfill Harmonic" be completed. The film accompanies individual children, the initiator of the music school Favio Chavez and the instrument maker "Cola". It is intended to draw people's attention to the issue of poverty and sensitize them to environmental pollution caused by waste. And it should show how much hope can arise when the focus is creatively on solving the problems and how waste and recycling materials can be transformed into beautiful sounding musical instruments.
Megadeth has invited the kids of the Recycled Orchestra to perform the Megadeth classic "Symphony Of Destruction" together with the metal band on Friday, August 2nd in Broomfield, Colorado. Above is a fan's video, the actual performance was filmed for the documentary and can be seen in better quality in the film «Landfill Harmonic» to be enjoyed. It's a must-see when it's released next year!

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
