Silent listening

Andreas Bick made this sound recording of a frozen lake. The ice contracts and expands due to fluctuations in temperature and he records the popping and cracking noises with an underwater microphone.
He describes it as the fringes of music, the periphery where music turns into sheer sound – concrete, wild, sometimes stunningly beautiful.

Rhonda Drakeford and Lulu Roper-Caldbeck have opened a fabulous fashion and interiors store in Lamb’s Conduit Street. Their design and textile backgrounds are evident in the textures and dark, graphic store design. It feels like a very personal selection of goods and they try to source designers and craftsmen that are unique to the store.
Darkroom stock cult accessory brands Fleet Ilya – see bags above, Staerk and Medicine Douce. Interior brands include Moooi, Minimalux and Thomas Eyck.
