STARCK RAVING

OD AG163 STARCK G 20110421233905 STARCK RAVING

A frank chat with the French designer Philip Starck about music, motorcycles and his new loo in the Wall Street Journal, with this quote about Soundwalk: “My favorite cheap thing is music. I listen to everything that’s good. There is the same quantity of bull in classical music as there is in popular street music. There is a sound designer, the best in the world, called Stephan Crasneanscki ( soundwalk.com ). He made me a Starck mix, which I listen to all the time.”

Check out the Starck mix on the Soundwalk website.
