An Audio-Visual Listening Lounge In Miami Design District Where You Can Hear, Different.
Miami, FL- November 28, 2018 – Never Normal Records is excited to present WAV.R00M, a pop-up installation of a hi-fi audio-visual listening cafe inspired by Japanese “kissaten” meeting music culture in Miami during Miami Art Week. WAV.R00M will run from Friday, Dec. 7th – Sunday, December 9th inside of OTL Cafe in it’s 2nd floor gallery The Office MIA, found in the Miami Design District.
The launch of WAV.R00M on Dec. 7th will kick off a series of artist talks and workshops that will be open to the public, exploring how artists and communities engage with sound and listening as an art form. Workshops will include sessions with visual artists Mwanel Pierre-Louis, illustrator for DJ Khaled’s recent “No Brainer” release, photojournalist Dana Goldstein founder of Sus Zine, recording artist TT the Artist, founder of Club Queen Records, Miami music culture author Jacob Katel of Henry Stone Music and more. Brooklyn-based street radio station HalfMoon BK will give a talk and livestream the workshops as part of the Art Week programming moderated by selector Pam Jones.
Uniting hi-fi listening with music technology over the 3-day pop-up, WAV.R00M will feature listening sessions played from a high fidelity 2-channel vintage Klipsch soundsystem with curated playlists created by emerging artist communities including Fempower, Vinyl Social Club, as well as SUBPAC wearable audio sessions. The SUBPAC sessions will feature a Bass Sound Bath Meditation played live by Chicago Footwork music producer DJ Earl and an audio/visual retrospective of runway show music from future forward bodywear fashion line CHROMAT – as a part of those sessions listeners will be able to physically feel the frequencies of the music being played on their bodies while they listen along. There will also be visual music stations powered by electronic musical instrument companies Critter & Guitari, MOOG and AIAIAI.
Notable artist presentations at WAV.R00M installation will include multidisciplinary Brooklyn artist RAFiA on Dec. 7th, as well as the debut of a performance art piece by Suzi Analogue at the close of the weekend pop-up, with art direction by Kristabel Delgado.
