What you won't see in these photos is everything that leads up to the actual event.
The interminable music, inspiring and piquing curiosity for a sample or mix, comes by means of headphones accompanying commutes to work or as a soundtrack for rides down shady streets to crosstown addresses and coffee. Or as a staple at home where new mixes fill the entire flat from the system in the living room—a living room with a layout well suited to either conversation or concentrated listening, both while accompanied by a variety of culture and design magazines aided by a selection of arc lamps—in duet with the buzz of a window fan, as the hardwood rooms are kept cool amidst the humidity and heat of the outside.
What you see at the show is that weeks' final result, but what you experience is everything that leads up to it—the process—which is not always available for view in creative ends. A further interesting aspect, that this often weekly "final result" offers, is it's dynamic nature. Rather than being a static culmination of previous work it is also a manifestation of what might be to come; part of an ongoing organic evolution of future intent of direction, excitement and experimentation growing forward in any number of directions.
Is there a way this unique dynamic aspect can further be applied to design or architecture initiatives (especially regarding cradle to cradle ideals)?
