MUSIC ESSENTIALS: Dave Harrington (of Darkside)

Dave Harrington‘s musical connection to collaborator Nicolas Jaar and their Darkside project has stood out for years in the world of electronic and alternative music, but this year, the Brooklyn-based artist released his first solo EP titled Before This There Was One Heart But a Thousand Thoughts - and now he’s linked up with HYPETRAK for an even closer look at his creative personality. Shedding light on his personality by sharing a peek at his most essential travel items, it seems like the multi-instrument phenomenon has a story for everything, with mementos such as an age-old T-shirt and a broken guitar cable standing as equally important to utility items such as a laptop and guitar. Making way for new items in his grid of music necessities, Harrington’s grid boasts bits and pieces from around the world, with a Bill Frisell CD from Australia being paired alongside a music box from Zurich, while his guitar and case are from his hometown of Brooklyn. Check out his essentials above and check out his brand new EP Before This There Was One Heart But a Thousand Thoughts, which is out now via Nicolas Jaar’s Other People imprint.
