    Manuel Mathieu presents Archipelago

    The olfactory is perhaps our most mystical sense. Everyone has been transported or transcended to a profound place or feeling by a nostalgic scent. It’s so affecting because it is typically unannounced, always invisible and yet so psychologically tangible. Scents are also incredibly difficult to attach to other mediums, with scratch ‘n sniff still being…

    Cygnet 77

    Why do classical music and the natural world seem to chime so harmoniously together? Classical music is often thought of as sophisticated and refined – complicated. The way it is arranged may be so, but the way it connects is universal. It isn’t constrained by linguistic and evokes something far more primal; stimulating the base…

    Steinway & Sons + Mickey Mouse

    There is a musicality in cartoons that blends the auditory and the visual better than almost any other medium. The clash of symbols to denote destruction; a crooning saxophone begetting a mischievous turn; the unbridled joy expressed in the whistle of a mouse freshly animated. That last scene is perhaps the most famous instance of…

    Rémy Martin turns 300 — A Year of Celebration

    The House of Rémy Martin has been making cognac for 300 years—let that sink in.   Its inception pre-dates the Industrial Revolution and the popularisation of the novel. Their first bottling did, however, coincide with the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment; a not insignificant piece of synchronicity. They are one of the oldest and…
