Naama Tsabar: Sculptures of Sound

A New York-born Israeli artist is turning buildings into playable works of sensory art. Bringing elements of sculpture and sound together, the visionary (audio-nary) creator Naama Tsabar reintroduces music as a collaborative practice. 

Tsabar’s visual artwork frequently intersects architecture and audio. Many of her installations are collaborative in execution, and she often works with women and gender non-conforming, classically trained musicians to present haunting and tangible audio spaces.

The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture

When people think about hip-hop, minds begin to wander towards the rhythmic style of music made for bobbing heads and mumbling along to rap lyrics that accompany the funky street sounds of hip-hop music. 

What a lot of people don’t realize, however, is that hip-hop is more than just a style of music. Hip-hop is a movement, that blends culture with art to create something truly unique. What started on the streets of New York City’s Bronx in the 1970s as a blend of African American, Latino, and Caribbean cultures became an artistic movement that took the world by storm. The unique blend of rapping, DJs, breakdancing, graffiti, and more prove to be a cultural art form for many.

The New Otis of Soul

One good thing about music, is when it hits you feel no pain,  according to Bob Marley  in “Trenchtown Rocks.” But, boy was he right! When a song is carefully created and beautifully produced, it has the power to actually move souls, and there’s nothing painful about it. 

R&B has always taken soulful songs and combined them with sultry voices to create its one-of-a-kind sound. But R&B has made many turns over the years. From Whitney Houston and Mary J. Blige to Marvin Gaye to Usher Raymond, the genre has always had a wide array of artists. And lately, new artists have proven that the classic sound has many more curbs to turn.
