Stereo Acoustic Guitar
More than just a funky looking instrument, this oddly shaped guitar has been designed so that it records as if the person was actually playing in front of you: ‘The Stereo Acoustic Guitar directs a stereo sound towards the player, rather than a mono sound out to the listeners, as is the case with most acoustic guitars’. Nice.

Dal East is a diamond in the rough. When I first took notice of his work, I suspected a one-off piece of art, but digging deeper, an impressive pattern emerged. He has travelled widely and left his unique visual mark across numerous cities. His style is a unique one: loose sketches that are tightened into lit wireframes often echoing nature, giving the work a timeless almost mythological feel. Read more
The philosophy of a beginning is to me, a wonderful concept. I really enjoy flicking through the back catalogues of a musician and discovering their origin, then tracing their musical journey to the present. So for American-born, Paris-based sister duo CocoRosie, who released their third album The Adventure of Ghosthouse and Stillborn to much acclaim, making the trip to their beginnings is more than worth the journey: their debut album, Le Maison de Mon Reve (released back in 2004) was a gentle stroll through their pop and classical influences, which melt together seamlessly into a backdrop for their unique and enchanting voices.
The Dutch, the beautiful Dutch, in terms of architecture anyway. Here they have led the way again with this reuse of an old crane dock.
