  2. KSR IRL: Thursday 9/22 @ 7p, Audiowear artists perform @ the Museum of Arts & Design. Peep the Audiowear Project Update for more intel on the event. Elasticbrand, an Amsterdam and NYC-based multidisciplinary design studio, finally figured out the project that combines their love of ceramic objects and hip-hop. That claybeats baby = Audiowear, “a series of musical jewelry inspired by idiophone and aerophone instruments and the acoustic quality of clay.” The collection includes a trumpet bracelet, a guiro cuff with playing thimble, a whistle charm necklace, a pan-flute collar, a diamond shaped rattle bracelet, and colorful xylophone bangles — all designed to create a “vocabulary of sounds” used to make music.
