A little music to send you off into your weekend….

Enjoy the video after the jump.

If you thought you couldn’t fall anymore in love with Swoon, here is another chance. The Music Box, her interactive musical shanty town collaboration opened in New Orleans October 22nd. A second performance will happen on the 19th of November. And a third will take place on December 10th. A press release from the show sums it up as such:

Visitors can interact with this musical shantytown’s singing walls, heartbeat-triggered percussion machine, organ staircase and weather sensitive oscillators. Three monthly live performances are bringing together stellar groups of local and international musicians to play orchestrated works on these “instruments.” Quintron, the musician and local legend, conducts this experimental shantytown orchestra.

The Music Box is an important and exciting prelude to the building of Dithyrambalina, an interactive sound sculpture in the form of a permanent three-story house. This project is being led by the influential street artist Swoon, who is known for her community-driven collaborative endeavors. Swoon has designed the house, but will rely on collaborating artists to bring the Dithyrambalina to life. via: Juxtapoz.

See other images as well as a video from the Dithyrambalina project, which is absolutely amazing, after the fold.

Have you ever been sitting around and thought, I wish I could get all the old time analog sound from a gramophone out of my iPhone? Well be still your nostalgic audiophile heart, the folks over at en&es have just given you something to pine over for the upcoming gifting season. Made entirely of ceramic, it does have an interestingly haunting and rich analog quality of sound… that is, if represented honestly in the video. Which along with more images, is after the fold.

WeSC have teamed up French visual art duo Kuntzel + Deygas, as music and sound are part of their environment, to create their own headphones. The duo’s marks can be seen along the top of the band, with the phrase “Speak louder please” lazer etched in, and more artwork, including the Caperino & Peperone dogs, featured underneath and on the sides. These headphones are available now from colette.

Detailed images to follow after the jump.

After Hurricane Irene had weather channels everywhere getting hyped, this video’s Al Roker-esque opening scene delivers some laughs before the storm.
