Battery Maritime Building, NYC
May 31 – August 10
“Creative Time presents Playing the Building, a 9,000-square-foot, interactive, site-specific installation by renowned artist David Byrne. The artist transforms the interior of the landmark Battery Maritime Building in Lower Manhattan into a massive sound sculpture that all visitors are invited to sit and “play.” The project consists of a retrofitted antique organ, placed in the center of the building’s cavernous second-floor gallery, that controls a series of devices attached to its structural features—metal beams, plumbing, electrical conduits, and heating and water pipes. These machines vibrate, strike, and blow across the building’s elements, triggering unique harmonics and producing finely tuned sounds.”
New album, Sool, is being released at the end of this month on Bpitch Control.
Ellen Allien – Caress
I was pretty late discovering this album from last year, but its amazing all the same.
Melchior Productions Ltd. – Water Soul
Smallville is a record store/label operating out of Hamburg, Germany, who have been putting out some really nice minimal techno and housey stuff since 2006. Great artwork too, by Lousy Livin Company.
DJ Swap – Blue
Sten – Squares
“It seems like everybody’s talking about the end of physical music media. Who knows whether they’re right or not, but Hard Format is a little place we’ve set up to celebrate our love of brilliant music-related design. That means we’re going to focus on records, CDs, cassettes and their like. However, Hard Format isn’t intended to become a dusty museum devoted exclusively to past glories, though there’ll certainly be some of that, we also want to highlight the brilliant new design work being produced right now.”
