suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

philip h. WILCK: The project shows the design proposal for a musicpavilion at the Stadtpark in Vienna (Austria). Rethinking the concept of a musicpavilion the architectural ensemble of different geometrical and material configurations offers the opportunity for a multilayered and complex music experience. 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. Another elements provide spaces and areas for a fully self-sufficient energy supply regarding ecological thinking, host interaction and active materials.

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.

Horseshit Deliver the first great summer album of ’11. Pulsing hallucinatory loops and samples build up on these tracks to give their music new depth and expanse allowing for plenty of room to freak out. The album combines electronics, guitars, drums and plenty of effects to create a tropical vibe from the calypso sounds of French Countryside to the bongos on Another Side to the standout I Hate The Beach. 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.

zola jesus’s stridulum ep does away with the obscuring lo-fi production to push nika DANILOVA’s booming voice out front. the trained opera singer form northern wisconsin uses her powerful instrument to push her driving, wailing dirges. the ep is particularly smooth sounding with no hiss or fuzz but rather clean vocals and plenty of pulsing moody textures below the surface. songs such as the sweeping “night” build from a synthy hum to a swirling pulsing soundtrack for the perfect foreboding late nite.
