Simco Audio. Interview with Stefan Simchowitz

At first glance this video seems to a bit off topic, but in fact it focuses on a major element that makes the Simchowitz Hill House so special: Stefan Simchowitz' passion for High End audio equipment that goes hand in hand with his love for contemporary art. In this interview, Stefan Simchowitz talks about how Simco Audio came about, the interplay of visual art and music, turntables, aesthetics, acoustics, the Simco One Speakers, vintage vinyl, and some recommendations.
As for the visual arts: There are currently three exhibitions on display at Simchowitz Hill House: Lily Ramirez: So Far Out of Sight; Andrey Samarin and Lera Derkach: Two of Us; and Ken Taylor Reynaga: Selected Works. The first two exhibitions mentioned run until April 11, 2026, the Ken Taylor Reynaga show is ongoing. VernissageTV has reported on these exhibitions in previous films.
