City Sounds

AMBIENT RECORD | GROOVY, GORGEOUS, VERY COOL | ARTISTS: NATHANIEL SCHWARTZ, DRC, GREGORIO ZANARDI

This album started on a train. From sounds we collected in LA, The Bay, Chicago, Boston, NYC, D.C. and hundreds of field recordings from transit riders across the country, City Sounds was born.

The very talented Nate Schwartz took the hundreds of recordings we’d amassed and the musical history of each metro area to spin a record that’s totally transit, totally ambient, and totally delectable.

Metroboards

LIVE SUBWAY MAPS | REAL-TIME DATA, WALNUT + ALUMINUM | ARTIST: DRC

Metroboard is an art object that displays the real-time location of every train in every station in your city. Connected to WiFi, it requests live data from transit agencies to update the lights on the board every few seconds. Brightness, update frequency, color, and other settings are customizable.

Constructed with premium materials (a solid walnut frame using miter joints and brushed aluminum paneling), Metroboard is built to last and look good doing it.

The New York City Metroboard is one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. It’s absolutely beautiful to look at — not just a clever idea, but a truly striking piece of art that adds so much character to the room. The craftsmanship is excellent, and every time I look at it, it gives me that rare feeling you get when you buy something and immediately know you completely love it.

The most amazing intersection of art, transit, and functionality! It's so cool to see your city's subway map come to life in real time in a classy design that you're proud to display.

It is, without exaggeration, one of the most impressive projects I’ve ever supported. The anodized aluminum panels, oil-rubbed walnut frame with double-miter keys, resin-filled LEDs, and crisp epoxy paint station routes create a piece that is both functional and stunning. Photos and videos simply don’t capture how remarkable it looks and feels in person.

The metroboard is fantastic! All the guests who have been to my house have been so interested in it, and it provides a good and easy to way to see which trains are at the station when I'm about to head out!
