suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

philip h. WILCK: The project shows the design proposal for a musicpavilion at the Stadtpark in Vienna (Austria).

The system includes central positioned sound shells in dependence on biological shell geometries like an ear or a mussle (biomimicry) . . . and a sound booth system of closed capsules for an intense, individual space for sound . . . spreading about the area.

No longer ‘the greatest concert movie you’ve never seen.’ Finally available, this historic concert from ’64 mixes James Brown, The Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, the Supremes, the Rolling Stones (introduced as “from liverpool”), and Lesley Gore (the then largest star on the bill). The performances are charged and fresh as everyone was on the verge of breaking big. Complete with manic go-go dancers performing throughout the entire performance in a marathon feat. The moment which catapults the whole film over the top is James Brown’s dancing, which is perhaps the finest ever captured to film.

This album blasts PH into new territories and as evident from their Shitty Sundays posts it’s just the beginning…

oliver SCHARF’S debut lp year of panic is full of great bouncy lofi gems. Put out on brooklyn’s Captured Tracks this fits right in with the label’s other house partying throwback/throwaway acts. With plenty of noise and hooks it’s great for aimless summer afternoons.
