Pitchfork reports that Interpol guitarist Daniel Kessler has started a side project called Big Noble, which is a collaboration with sound designer Joseph Fraioli. The duo’s debut album is expected sometime in early 2015, but their music can already be heard at a New York sound installation called “Sounds of NYC,” which is running until Oct. 5 at Sonos Studios. Based on the ads created for the installation, their music seems largely instrumental and ambient, as opposed to Interpol’s guitar-driven post-punk.

You can check out ads for Big Noble’s “Sounds of NYC” installation right here:

Big Noble’s piece “Ocean Picture” was also used in an ad for designer label Rag & Bone, which you can check out right here:
