New Music! SXSW Artist Releases – Friday, August 11
Before we zoom in on this week’s new music, I should mention that registration for SXSW 2018 is now open. If you haven’t already done it, now is the best time to register for SXSW 2018 and book your housing. Prices are at their lowest when you book in advance, and downtown hotel rooms are still available.
This week we have five releases from artists who have showcased at SXSW. Experimental electronic composer Oneohtrix Point Never releases The Good Time [OST]. Frankie Rose will release her third album called Cage Tropical to showcase her narcotic pop vocals. Veteran singer-songwriter Paul Kelly also has a new album dropping titled Life is Fine.
Each week we pick one new release and make a playlist for fans incorporating new music from past SXSW artists for them to discover. This week, we’re selecting a indie-rock playlist inspired by The Cribs whose new album 24-7 Rock Star Shit is getting released this Friday. Go ahead and give it a listen because these playlists will only be active for seven days before we pick a new artist to focus on. Follow us on Spotify to keep up with our playlists, and be sure to follow the playlist.

Minimalist Architecture of the Fundação Iberê Camargo Building
Minimalist Architecture of the Fundação Iberê Camargo Building
I am a fan of minimalist architecture and design. I also love when my hometown gets featured which doesn’t happen that often. Arthur Kolbetz shared a post on his Behance page about the Fundação Iberê Camargo building in Porto Alegre. The photos highlight the exquisite look of the building, all in white concrete with simple forms, almost no windows and a lot of character. I don’t know if that could be considered minimalist architecture but it definitely looks like nothing else, check it out.
About the Fundação Iberê Camargo
Created in 1995, one year after the artist’s death, it not only aims to make people know Camargo’s art but also intends to stimulate reflections on the contemporary artistic production, through displays, courses, seminars and meetings.
The headquarters and museum building of the Iberê Camargo Foundation were designed by Pritzker Prize–winning Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza. Before the inauguration of the building in May 2008, the foundation was operating in the late artist’s home, also in Porto Alegre. The new building is located on the bank of Guaíba Lake.

Web Design & UI/UX: Explore the Moon
Web Design & UI/UX: Explore the Moon
Starting the week with a Web Design & UI/UX project that is more of a concept by Moscow-based 108 Studio. Let me rephrase this by saying that the concept is pretty detailed and going in-depth about our beloved Moon. With the monotone background and contrast, I just love the micro-interactions for the image carousel and button clicks. It truly enhances the whole desktop experience.
108 Studio is a web design & development studio based in Moscow, Russian Federation. We are looking forward to see more from them, give them a follow on Behance.
‘Explore the Moon’ from ‘Moon Science Museum’ is a project that collects information about our planet Earth’s bewitching and lonely natural satellite — the Moon. This glowing ball in the night skyline stores a lot of mysteries and riddles, that are yet to be revealed.
