take a minute to think about the way we acquire and listen
to music nowadays. download to computer, straight to ipod,
in your ears and separate from the world. oftentimes it's a
useful tool forcing fellow commuters to cease and desist with
unwanted subway conversation.
the now brooklyn-based artist mikal hameed thinks we need to
set music free again, to share it as opposed to contain it in little
white headphones we keep all to ourselves. growing up in l.a
around the punk rock scene then to brooklyn via san francisco
for the dj revolution the influence of his musical inspirations
are obvious within his work. the d.i.y nature of punk rock and
the elements of hip hop from boom boxes to graffiti all play
a part in this musicfurnitureart (as hammed calls it) ensemble.
his national tour - from l.a, san francisco to jersey city concludes
tomorrow evening (3/12/10) in williamsburg, brooklyn. from 9pm
to 4am (now that's an art show) at KINGDOM - 170 North 4th street
between bedford and driggs.
