The Philippe-Starck-designed ZIK headphones, due out sometime this year, have classic Starck styling and some innovative interface features: Volume control and track advancement are achieved by finger-swiping the smooth surface covering your right ear, and if you’ve got an NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled smartphone, you simply tap it against the headphones to transfer audio files. Pulling the headphones off automatically kills the music, though it’s not clear if you must remove the headphones every time you want to pause.
JMC Soundboard
Designed by master guitar-builder Jeanmichel Capt with the exceptional creativity and skill he employs to sculpt musical instruments, the JMC Soundboard creates a beautifully encased sound system that blends seamlessly into most any environment. Built with time-honored techniques used in making JMC guitars, the speaker blurs the line between art object and home audio system. The Soundboard has been around for some time now, but we only recently got to experience it in person—between the uncannily thin silhouette and masterful uniformity of sound, it certainly struck a chord.
now we’re crowdsourcing vinyl.
Under the name of EKKO RECORDINGS, the venue will release 2 vinyl records containing some of the highlights of the past 25 years. The vinyl comes in two parts: the period from 1986 to 1998 and from 1998 to 2011.
What’s special about this project is that it is both crowdfunded as well as crowdsourced. The vinyl is not only financially made possible by donors, the content is determined by the public and donors as well. Through the EKKO website people can vote on the highlights of these periods. The voice of supporters double-counts and so they have more influence on the final composition.
