Presented by Houndstooth Cottage
Art Basel – Miami, FL
Half-Cocked was released in 1994. It tells the story of a group of friends who steal a van full of music equipment and pretend to be a band in order to stay on the road. It is a movie that meant a lot to me and really influenced my taste in music. All these years later I am truly honored to be a part of this exhibit by using our augmented reality app to enhance the experience. Thank you Michael, Suki, & Tony!
Shooting Blanks : The Art of Half-Cocked featured work by the filmmakers Suki Hawley & Michael Galinsky, as well as past and current work from the cast, crew and artists connected to the scene documented in the film. Thanks to Tony Kapel for all your hard work! View the full list of artists.
Below are a few samples of the behind the scenes photos that were on display for the exhibit. When scanned with our Soundwave Art app you will hear the writer of the film Michael Galinsky discussing the photo and what was taking place at the time of filming.

YOUPEOPL
St. Louis, MO
Our friends YOUPEOPL contacted us about their debut EP ‘…are we’ with St. Louis-based art and music collective, FarFetched. They wanted to use our app as a way to offer their fans something different. We thought, why not take your album artwork and allow your fans to stream your EP before it is released?
The band, led by Chan Maurice Evans and Brandon Mason – two STL rock musicians, has a unique twist that mixes their rock, post-punk and noise-rock backgrounds with more ethereal textures, trading grind and grit for waves and cascades.
