Print: C-Heads Magazine “The Little Things” Volume #39
This edition is a love letter to the simple joys, the human warmth, the in-between moments that often go unnoticed. Fall in love with life, art, nature, humankind—everything gets easier when we truly see one another, and when we sense the beauty all around us. In all these little things, that’s when the magic begins.
Morning Light in Mallorca
In the morning, when everything is still quiet, the sun slowly rises above the horizon, and silence still rests over the rooftops, the married couple Zack van der Merwe and Tahnee van der Merwe took the camera in their hands and captured the beauty of the morning light.
Between Roots and Rhythm — In Conversation with Massuma
“Afro house, for me, is about hypnotic energy, groove, and storytelling. It connects people in a way that’s universal, yet deeply personal.” That’s how Massuma describes his new single “Sikasso” — a track pulling you in from the very first beat. At this point, we also recommend pressing play on it while reading this interview — it would be a shame not to.
The Story Behind ‘Illusion’, Change, and the Power of Empathy — A Conversation with Idyl
“And in every beginning dwells a magic,” wrote Hermann Hesse — and it’s true. That subtle magic that helps us move from one chapter to the next. The magic of childhood might be the most special one of all — when the world still sparkles, everything feels infinite, and life itself seems made of light. Keeping that sense of wonder as we grow up is hard, almost impossible. But sometimes, music brings it back — for a few seconds, a few notes, a few lines that remind us of who we once were.
Salted Mornings
Last June, photographer Sophie van de Venne who focuses mainly on fashion and lifestyle photography, traveled to Mallorca for several photo shoots, including a creative project with Model Isabelle van de Broek. The result is a beautiful story that reflects the relaxed feeling of life by the sea — a source of strength, gently guided by the rhythm of the ocean.
“I do this not for fame, not for numbers, but for the feeling.” In Conversation with Sofiya Nzau
hey say music is a universal language — one that speaks straight to the heart without the need for translation. And few artists embody that truth as beautifully as Sofiya Nzau. The first time I heard her voice on Mwaki and Wacuka — and anyone who’s ever shared a car ride with me knows I’ve had Wacuka on repeat for months — I was fascinated by her energy and her unmistakable tone. All the more special it felt to sit down for a conversation with such an exceptional artist.
Kelly Warden — A Love Letter to Nature and the Human Heart
There’s something about Kelly Warden’s work that makes you pause — maybe it’s the way she captures moments somewhere between documentation and emotion, or how her images feel like little stories she wants to keep for herself. Her photography is also a love letter to nature — and to the quiet, unguarded beauty of being human. “When I have the opportunity to spend time immersed in nature, it feels like I’m coming home to myself,” she tells us — and you can feel that truth in every frame.
What the Water Teaches
We sat down with the beautiful Beatrix du Toit to talk about surrender, connection, and the quiet power of water — a conversation on movement, presence, and finding calm in nature, brought to life through Jennifer Delić’s poetic eye.
Jeffrey Brandon’s Portraits of Home and Humanity
“Through my lens, I aim to give the people of the streets an opportunity to be seen — to celebrate their individuality, rhythm, and the humanity that so often goes unnoticed. I’m inspired by connection, nostalgia, and the Southern sunlight that seems to wrap everything in warmth. My goal is to show that beauty doesn’t come from perfection, but from honesty.”
Two Souls, One Afternoon
Perhaps it’s something one shouldn’t say out loud, but trusting someone can sometimes lead to disappointment. There’s truth in the old saying that silence is golden — and intentions are not always what they seem. Sometimes people take what you offer freely — your time, your care, your energy, the little treasures you share from the heart — without ever realising their worth. Lately, I’ve had to relearn this lesson. Yet instead of letting it harden me, I’ve chosen to move forward with an open heart, believing that beauty and sincerity still exist.
Touristing in Istanbul
Whoever has been to Istanbul will understand — it’s a city you can’t help but fall in love with. The call to prayer echoing through the streets, the scent of fresh simit and coffee in the morning air, the blend of chaos and warmth that somehow feels like home. Yes, it’s loud, it’s crowded, but its liveliness, its people, and its energy are what make it so special.
Letters from Ibiza
While I’m gazing at the azure sky of Ibiza, the sea shimmering in front of me, I can truly feel the story captured by photographer Ena Boskovic starring Chelsea Debo. It reflects the beauty of this island — which is so much more than just big parties. It’s a place of nature, rawness, and wild energy, yet also one that invites you to slow down, to explore, and to stay — not just in body, but in heart.
“I Need to Move to Create” — Thylacine on Recording Life on the Road
For over a decade, French producer and multi-instrumentalist Thylacine has been turning his travels into music. From the Trans-Siberian Railway to Turkey, the Andes, and the Faroe Islands, each journey has become a chapter in his acclaimed ROADS series, translating landscapes, culture, and human connection into sound.
Two Souls and the Love for the Ocean
“This session was born from the inspiration of two souls who share a deep love for the ocean,” photographer Serenela Dinis tells us about her shoot with model Micaela Morgado — a tribute to the ocean but also a celebration of feminine energy.
Astral Bakers — Vertical Life, an Intimate Album Against the Rush
After introducing you to the Paris-based band Astral Bakers some time ago, they now return with their second album, Vertical Life — a record that nestles effortlessly into your ears and could easily become the soundtrack to just about literally anything. Where their debut The Whole Story unfolded in soft-grunge shades of hazy folk and atmospheric rock, Vertical Life feels like a moment of arrival — both musically and emotionally.
ShiShi — A Conversation on Indigo, Meditation, and the Journey Home
It’s a small detail, but it changes everything — the new album by Indian-born artist ShiShi is tuned entirely to 432 Hz, a frequency often associated with balance, clarity, and a natural sense of flow. In musical terms, it means the central “A” note is tuned slightly lower than the modern standard of 440 Hz, creating a warmer, rounder sound that many musicians feel resonates more organically with the human ear. Some describe it as more open and breathing, less sharp — a tuning that invites stillness without losing intensity.
