Experiential Art: An Interview With Sound Artist Michael Kiley
On April 5, Philly musician and sound designer Michael Kiley, also known as The Mural and the Mint, releases an iPhone app called The Empty Air. It plays music filtered with ambient noise that corresponds to the user’s location in Rittenhouse Square Park. Who knew birds, rustling leaves, church bells and your conversations could be art?

Guilty Pleasure: "Blue Crush"
Prior to winning a date with Tad Hamilton and charming Superman and… well, I don’t really know what else because Kate Bosworth really hasn’t been in a lot of movies.
Cold War Kids—"Dear Ms. Lonelyhearts"
The Cold War Kids’ last album was a departure from the indie sound they exhibited on “Robbers & Cowards,” as they chose to go for a more mainstream sound. “Dear Miss Lonelyhearts” is a return back to their indie roots and their original sound. There’s a few misses with the title track and “Fear & Trembling,” but songs like “Miracle Mile” will pump you up just as much as “Tuxedos” will get you thinking. The album is something like the inverted giant drop at amusement parks; you start off being shot upwards then calm down a bit before another shot followed by the slow return to the ground. The title track might make you feel like the ride is malfunctioning before you hit the ground, but “Bitter Poem” brings you home safely.
