Music is one of those gifts in life that can break through our outer shells and expose and unite us emotionally. It’s been saving my life for the past 25 years at least. So whether it be going to a live show, or the opera, or listening lying on the floor of your house with someone you love, or coming to our immersive installation, we want to share it with you with an experience of togetherness.

Although we worked with a creative team split between LA, Bay Area and the UK, using Dropbox and Dropbox Paper made sharing all our creative assets very easy.

Karen O & Danger Mouse’s “Lux Prima” is one of the year’s best albums so far — but it’s more than an album. “An Encounter with Lux Prima – The Art of Collaboration,” a short documentary chronicling the 18-month development of their multisensory art installation “An Encounter With Lux Prima” premieres today.
In the new mini-documentary that was premiered by Variety, O and key members of the personnel — including creative designer Barnaby Clay, sound designer Ren Klyce, lighting designer Tobias Rylander and projection-mapping specialist Travis Threlkel — speak about the exhibition’s extended creation process. The interviews are paired behind-the-scenes footage, as well as video from the installment’s Los Angeles run.
