Sound and Vision Digital

Beck recently reimagined Bowie’s “Sound and Vision” staging more than 160 musicians for an interactive 360º experience.

All Hail Kahlil (again)

Now that the tired old joke about Kriss Kross is no longer a joke, and the April Fool’s thing about Boards of Canada turned out to be no joke either (not to mention B. Kruger, who wrote down the biggest/truest sentence of the year 2013 in a document entitled “fools.doc”), we don’t want you to [...]

UPTEMPO

After last summer’s rumours of Daft Punk releasing a new studio LP, it now seems to be more and more official. We are convinced that their new record will create even a bigger impact than their 2005 release Human After All! For all those who are waiting in eager, don’t miss out on the fantastic prequel [...]

AWAITED

Discovering two announcements in one night can be overwealming.
The National will release a new album in May followed by a North American and European summer tour. Tickets go on sale on this very day.
As for the second announcement, I’ll just leave you with a note picked up at Pitchfork.
NOTE FROM TRENT:
Nine Inch Nails are touring this [...]

ECM COVER ART COMBINED

Wave Field Weekend

Don’t forget it’s transmediale time, at least catch some CTM highlights like Robert Henke’s wave field experiment or slightly more catchy Pantha du Prince & the Bell Laboratory (tickets might be tricky, but there’s more to come). That’s a thursday night to prepare for saturday.

Tortoise In Berlin

Fashion Week is not the worst time of year in Berlin: Tortoise are playing a free show at the House of Vans this Thursday; and a certain Mr. Tommy Guerrero also happens to be on the same ticket that night…

THREE TIMES A LADY

Finally! After a long break, Destiny’s Child release their first single since 2004. Even though the highly expected reunion song is not really mind-blowing, it revives the sound of Destiny’s Child with some contemporary rattling breakbeat. Nuclear will be also on the compilation Love Songs, which will be out on January 29. Until then you can [...]

ICY R’N'B

Twigs has also joined the ‘New-R’n’B-Wave’. Her contribution: Simple, quiet not out of submission but seduction. It’s enthralling! The recently released set of videos, partly directed by Grace Ladoja, are definitely worth watching! One of the musical highlights in 2012.
