Feel what you hear
Bass player Brady Watt and tech firm Subpac visited St. Joseph's School for the Deaf in the Bronx, New York.
Performing with his bass and Subpac technology Brady Watt transmitted the low frequencies being performed directly to the (deaf) students using Subpac’s placed in their seats.
I just love the smile of the kids’ faces.

Force Of Nature
I just love these guys from The Imaginary Foundation:
The Imaginary Foundation is an Art Collective and Think Tank that uses streetwear as a Trojan horse to embed Cosmic Intelligence into pop culture.
And the description by this shirt is superb as well:
Music is our most beautiful dream and perhaps our most powerful meta-communication device. Music is a force of nature.
Unfortunately, the shirt is sold out (my size at least).

The sound of a faux-tropical resort
Belgium electronic artist Kai Hugo, aka Palmbomen II, and his fellow Dutch cohort Betonkust, spent a weekend sometime last year at an aging faux-tropical resort in The Netherlands called Center Parcs.
Their song 24x33 was created/inspired there and, as Pitchfork put it:
“24x33 is a careful exploration of a past we can still vaguely remember, and a wistful funeral song to the moldering and unkempt grounds of the Center Parcs resort.”
Listen to or download the song:
Check the videoclip too.

Future Days
Future Days: Krautrock And The Building Of Modern Germany is a book by British music journalist David Stubbs. He writes a music blog for The Guardian, amongst other things.
About the book:
West Germany after World War II was a country in shock: estranged from its recent history, and adrift from the rest of Europe. But this orphaned landscape proved fertile ground for a generation of musicians who, from the 1960s onwards, would develop the strange and beautiful sounds that became known as Krautrock.
Future Days is the brilliantly reported, deeply researched story of the groups that created Krautrock, and a social and cultural history of the Germany that challenged, inspired, and repelled them. (via Amazon)
You download the epub version of the book for free.
