Transforming their dormitory building into a light show extravaganza, the students at Poland’s Wroclaw University of Technology demonstrated their tech-savvy skills with this large-scale installation of pixel-like flashes set to an equally animated soundtrack.
Called “Projekt P.I.W.O.,” (the acronym means “beer” in Polish), it’s simultaneously humorous and beautiful—particularly the Michael Jackson tribute about seven minutes in.
Part of an impressive series that shows off the school’s technological virtuosity, this video depicts a spectrum of influences and creates a dynamic landscape within the solid world of dorm buildings. Recently highlighted on Good Magazine, the spectacle brings to mind other light-infused architectural feats such as Aukland’s “Night Lights” demonstration.
After three years of anticipation, DFA’s Holy Ghost delivers a set of nu-disco classics with their debut EP, Static On The Wire. Dropping today, 18 May 2010, its slick, retro stylings go beyond the surface, capturing the dance-floor grandeur of Giorgio Moroder and Bobby O with “Say My Name” and “I Will Come Back.”
Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel established their name as deejays and remixers, reworking tracks from Moby and MGMT to Phoenix. Having supported electronic musician The Juan Maclean, the two (bonafide perfectionists known to nerd out on their tons of gear and equipment) have fully developed their live act and the work paid off. We caught the Brooklyn-based duo performing for the first time ever this past weekend in the basement of Damon Dash’s TriBeCa studio for an intimate, sweaty crowd of about a hundred. With Alex on vocals and keys, while Nick attacked the drums like a machine, their show mixed the energy of a house party with the polish of experienced musicians—to awesome effect.
Catch Holy Ghost yourself when they tour with LCD Soundsystem this summer. Static On The Wire sells from iTunes and Amazon.
Consisting of Harris Shper (on vox and guitar), Christine Hale (vox and keys), Al Mal (bass) and Farid Rener (drums), The Hoof & the Heel make unforgettably beautiful music that fits easily on dreamy summer playlists. Based out of Montreal, the quartet’s EP called “And All the Tigers” mixes folksy, poppy, hauntingly magical sounds to create some incredibly captivating tunes. We recently sat down with them down for a few questions, answered below.
Who’s the Hoof and who is the Heel and why?
This is a question we get a lot. Let’s just say Farid is both for now.
What’s the best show you have played?
Hard to pick just one, but an incredibly fun show was not too long ago at the Interstice loft in Griffintown. We played with Gutstrings and Peter Nevins, and everyone was just having a great time listening to music. There was no stage, so we were very close to 100 people dancing right in front of us and the energy was fantastic!
How did you meet?
Farid and Harris met through a mutual friend, then met Christine through a local promoter. She met Al when their names were picked out of a hat to play together in a band for Pop Montreal’s Rock Lotto, and voila!
Favorite song of all time (each of you) and brief description why?
Harris: “A Damn Good Disguise” by The Mendoza Line. Obviously a difficult question, but this is a song I can listen to forever and not get tired of. If I listen to it when I’m happy, I get happier. If I listen when I’m sad, I get sadder. It has a very simple melody and a lo-fi production, and the lyrics are beautiful and ugly and perfect.
Christine: I have two—”Jesus, Etc.” by Wilco because of Tweedy’s lyrics, voice and the overall production—and “Wally, Egon & the Models in the Studio” by Rachel’s because the cello somehow wraps around my heart and squeezes. Sometimes you just don’t have words for how music makes you feel. Both are so bittersweet, simple and honest.
NXNE in June, U.S. tour in July/August, mixed with local shows as well. Recording, writing, etc.
Why Montreal?
Love this city! So many creative, kind, beautiful people and the cold just makes us enjoy the summer more.
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
Work. [Harris is a recording engineer; Christine is an illustrator/designer.]
Who writes the songs?
Because it’s been hard to get us all in the same room at the same time other than practices and shows, Harris been writing the melodies/lyrics so far, and then we all work out arrangements very quickly in our practices. We all usually write our own parts with input from everyone in the band once the song is put on the table.
Anything else we should know?
Share our music with friends—if you don’t have enough cash at the moment to buy it from iTunes or the like, send us an email and we’ll send you a digital copy of the album! We love having people come out to our shows and want everyone to enjoy the music, thanks!
UK-based Luke Twyman’s Whitevinyl recently released Solar Beat—a music box looped using the orbital frequencies of our own solar system. It’s one of those simple concepts where astrophysics is translated into a pleasing ambient loop soundtrack more profound than your average web diversion.
Still relatively obscure, the multi-talented illustrator, photographer, web developer, musician behind the band Neverest Songs continues to fly beneath the radar despite some rave reviews.
Oh, and while it may take 248 “earth years” for Pluto to chime in, it’s totally worth it.
Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi released his debut solo album, “Go,” earlier this month to near universal acclaim, since embarking on a world tour of theatrical stage performances to rival the epic grandeur of his album.
A collaborative effort between Jónsi’s team in Reykjavik and the London-based stage production company 59 Productions, the live show incorporates a variety of elements including film, animation, light projection and set design from core contributors Phil Eddols, Bruno Poet, Mark Grimmer, Lysander Ashton and Peter Stenhouse.
Departing from the heartrending swells and crescendos that fill Sigur Rós’ albums to the brim, the arrangements on “Go” often sound quite jubilant, calling to mind the wide-eyed exuberance of a child dashing through forests and fields. Indeed, nature and the animal kingdom in particular, are recurring motifs. Borrowing heavily from these thematic elements, the group at 59, led by creative director Leo Warner, envisioned the production as something of a visual score.
Their point of departure for the physical set design was the book 1000°C: Deyrolle (previously covered on Cool Hunting), a photographic record of the charred remains of a Parisian taxidermy shop largely destroyed in a fire two years ago. Projected onto this set, a series of filmic vignettes includes processed video footage of butterflies in flight, water in motion, and flames licking paper in concert with animated mammals, birds and insects. (Watch several “making of” videos on Jónsi’s media page.)
Does this multidisciplinary production signal a new standard for musical performance? Perhaps, fan reviews of the tour thus far include the words “mindgasm,” “transcendentally beautiful,” “astounding,” “breathtakingly beautiful,” “metamorphosis,” “ingenious,” “soul-shaking” and “spellbound” to call out just a handful. Tickets are still available for upcoming performances in the Midwest, eastern Canada and the East Coast, not to mention Europe. We suggest you grab yours now.

Bringing new bands to light, NYC clothiers Barking Irons‘ recently launched an acoustic video series The Collect, created in partnership with creative production agency Phearcreative. The resulting videos capture musicians as they write, perform and discuss their music.
So far, the Collect has illuminated the work of eight artists, including Riverboat Gamblers and Justin Towne Earle. Barking Irons will continue to show more of “cool rock & roll, blues, and country acts” in their monthly installments of the series.
To celebrate the new project and accompanying site, Barking Irons and Phearcreative will host a launch party 15 April 2010. Be sure to swing by The Collect as the project grows.
