Ace Hotel announce a year-long partnership with B&O PLAY, which will be marked by a series of inventive and immersive sound events at the New York, London and Los Angeles Ace Hotel.
B&O PLAY frequently partners with likeminded properties to create innovative and unexpected experiences. B&O PLAY sits at the intersection of technology and design, seeking to surprise and delight guests’ senses by bringing to life artistic approaches to creative pillars including design, cuisine and fashion through the lens of sound.
Under the umbrella of this year-long partnership, B&O PLAY and Ace Hotel will unveil Ample Frequencies: A Sound Series, which will kick off in October with events at Ace Hotel New York and Ace Hotel London. Ample Frequencies seeks to explore, ponder, recreate and define the edges of sonic consciousness with site-specific installations and sound symposia.
On October 11 at Ace Hotel New York, a selection of core avant garde performers will produce a collaborative, open composition using the hotel space as a platform for music. The electronic soundscape will be curated and feature multiple musicians.
On October 18, Ample Frequencies will then venture to Miranda, the celestial basement bar at Ace Hotel London Shoreditch with a meditative installation from artist Adoxo and researcher Luciana Haill. The pair will witness an audience member’s brain waves during guided meditation, re-interpreting them in their enticing audiovisual performance. A panel discussion hosted by Tabitha Thorlu-Bangura of NTS Radio will follow.
In addition to the Ample Frequencies events, B&O PLAY will also take over The Theatre at Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles for a distinctive, one-night only affair in November.
