AI Chat - Image Generator:

Miley Cyrus has revealed the first trailer for the film companion to her upcoming album Something Beautiful, which is due May 30 from Columbia Records. The “one-of-a-kind cinematic experience” will take place for one night only in North America on June 12, with an international release to follow on June 26 from Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision.

Directed by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter, Something Beautiful will premiere June 6 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. It was produced by Cyrus, XYZ Films and Panos Cosmatos.

More from Spin:

Cyrus calls Something Beautiful “my dream project come true — fashion, film and original music coexisting in harmony. My co-creators are all geniuses in their own right: from the masters of sound, Shawn Everett and Alan Meyerson, to one of cinema’s most unique directors, Panos Cosmatos, serving as a producer. Each collaborator has used their expertise to make this fantasy a reality.”

As for the 13-track proper album version of Something Beautiful, it includes guest appearances by Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard and model Naomi Campbell. The pre-release single “End of the World” has performed the best of several other previews, having garnered nearly 50 million Spotify streams so far.

Something Beautiful is the follow-up to 2023’s Endless Summer Vacation, which hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200. It spawned the monster chart-topping single “Flowers,” which won Record of the Year and Best Solo Pop Performance at the 2024 Grammys.

Darude Celebrates 25 Years of “Sandstorm” With 6k Fun-Run Through Music Video Landmarks

AI Chat - Image Generator:

Darude is ringing in 25 years of “Sandstorm” by turning Helsinki into a real-life playground for fans of the track that defined a generation. 

The event, simply dubbed the “Sandstorm Run,” invites participants to jog, sprint or stride along a six-kilometer route mapped directly through the sites made famous in the track’s iconic turn-of-the-century music video.

Scheduled for August 31st, just under a week before the Finnish leg of Darude’s “STORM 25 World Tour,” the run starts and ends in Kaivopuisto, a coastal park that locals and longtime fans will recognize from the video’s early chase scene. From there, runners will make their way through southern Helsinki, including a pass by the steps of the Helsinki Cathedral.

Darude himself will be onsite for the event, cheering participants on and serving as a judge for its costume contest, which encourages runners to dress in the spirit of the “Sandstorm” video. Prizes for the best outfits—awarded in individual, pair and team categories—include a meet-and-greet with Darude, group photo and tickets to the “STORM 25” concert at Kattilahalli.

“It’s amazing to celebrate my career right where it all began,” Darude said in a statement. “The ‘Sandstorm’ video is still watched around the world, and it’s incredible to see it come alive again through the runners. I hope as many people as possible join us to have fun and get moving.”

The event is being organized by Vauhtisammakko, a local fitness services company. Early-bird registration is available through June 30th for €39, with standard pricing kicking in July 1st at €59.

Kevin Parker Refines Orchid Chord Generator For Second Drop

AI Chat - Image Generator:

After selling out its first run in less than four minutes late last year, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and the Telepathic Instruments team are making 3,000 additional units available of their bespoke musical instrument, Orchid, beginning May 29. The product is aimed at helping users easily generate chords as a means to aid the compositional and creative processes.

The 12-note keyboard was “originally conceived as a tool for Parker’s own songwriting” more than a decade ago. It contains a patent-pending chord voicing engine, three separate synthesizer emulators (a polyphonic virtual analog subtractive synth, an FM synth and a vintage reed piano emulation inspired by a famous 1960s electric piano), a MIDI out port, built-in speakers and a rechargeable battery, while modes such as Strum, Slop, Arpeggiator, Pattern and Harp allow for adding numerous human touches.

More from Spin:

Initial users have been able to “shape and refine” the instrument through an online community dubbed the Garden in tandem with Patreon, leading to the inclusion of 10 new sounds, an improved loop mode and numerous bug fixes and UX refinements. Those interested in purchasing an Orchid this time around must follow the Garden for instructions.

Telepathic is also launching Telepathic Studios to help artists develop their songwriting processes with the help of Orchid. Sessions are set in London from May 23-24 and will also be held later this year in Los Angeles. Among the musicians already using Orchid are Gracie Abrams, Fred again.. and Murda Beats.

Tame Impala hasn’t performed since March 2023, and Parker has spent the time since focusing on songwriting and production work for artists such as Dua Lipa and Justice.

Pups Hit the Dancefloor at Australia’s First-Ever Rave for Dogs

AI Chat - Image Generator:

The coffeeshop rave craze, a current Gen Z favorite, is springing up in cities like Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto and Zurich. These caffeine-fueled day parties are now getting a tail-wagging twist: dogs on the dancefloor.

On May 17th, the Doglateria café in Sydney, Australia teamed up with Spotify to throw the inaugural “Woof Doof,” the country’s first-ever rave designed specifically for dogs. The eatery serves what they call “doglato,” an all-natural gelato for canines with no sugar, preservatives or additives.

Of course, no rave is complete without tunes, so the “Woof Doof” event featured a live DJ who kept the volume between a dog-friendly 55 and 60 decibels.

While the future of Australia’s rave culture remains uncertain, this unique pop-up could mark the start of a new (and adorable) trend in the region.

“Cafés in the area and around the world are playing rave music, so we thought we shouldn’t miss this opportunity,” Doglateria owner Oscar Vallejo told Today.

The free event ran from 9am to noon, with the first 50 pups in line receiving Spotify-themed doggie merch and a gelato treat. Early arrivals also got to enjoy a special take on the classic açaí bowl made with coconut cream, muesli, peanut butter, honey and carob powder.
