The bauhaus label: bringing sound design into the fold
Out of Weimar, the first home to the bauhaus, is marcel & wassily: the bauhaus label.
The original bauhaus’ manifesto advocated the union of fine, applied and performing arts. This included architecture, civil engineering, design and media. Today, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar has incorporated the next logical step, the dimension of sound.
Music, radio plays, sound art, experimental radio, electroacoustic constructs. First step: this past summer, a collection of music was distributed at the school on a concrete-cast USB stick via gumball machines. Very bauhaus in its thinking.
The label doesn’t stop with student work. And like the original school, is working with outside resources, bands and artists.
Check out the label’s cool site. Click around, see what pops up.
And here’s some of the USB hosted bands (with links to their MySpace spaces):
