designboom partner Sónar and Gaudí-designed ‘living museum’ Casa Batlló are launching the world premiere of Music:Response, a brand new audiovisual installation, in Barcelona. The groundbreaking experience marks the inauguration of THE CUBE, a partnership between both institutions that joins electronic music and digital art in an immersive 360º space, located in Casa Batlló. Set to kick off on May 24th, Music:Response features re-worked music by The Chemical Brothers, and kaleidoscopic visuals by Smith & Lyall.

the chemical brothers music meets smith & lyall visuals

Presented across six LED screens at THE CUBE in Casa Battló (see more here), and in full stereo sound, the Music:Response audiovisual installation brings a new dimension to the creative universe that has evolved from the collaboration between Smith & Lyall and their live artistic directors. It also follows the record-breaking success of Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers at The Design Museum, London. ‘Gaudí created fantasy worlds with his buildings, with their own rules and logic. They are immersive environments in which you have the feeling of being outside the normal world, an escape from reality into the sublime. The Chemical Brothers’ universe shares this same spirit and has also become a self-contained world,’ writes the British duo.

Music:Response at THE CUBE

a 13-minute, immersive, audiovisual experience 

Upon entering the space, visitors are immersed in iconic characters and abstract visuals for that play on feelings of tension and release. Inspired by the tradition of ‘Visual Music’, the 13-minute show offers a visceral, synaesthetic experience that emulates the transformative and liberating power of music.  On Friday June 14th, the artists will be discussing their work on Music:Response, and the visuals created for The Chemical Brothers live show over the years at the SonarAgora stage at Sónar by Day. More information on the talk and the wider Sónar 2024 program can be found here. Tickets are on sale at casabatllo.cat (limited capacity).

    This 7,000 sf house is nestled on a heavily wooded hilltop site in Ross, CA with breathtaking views of Mt. Tam and the San Francisco Bay over native California Oaks in one direction and the town of Ross through majestic old-growth redwoods in the other. The parti is a composition of simple volumes that maximizes a sense of openness to these views while maintaining privacy from neighbors and creating distinct zones within the property. Materials were carefully selected to strike a balance between a precise modernist language and the woodsy pastoral sensibility of this Northern California site. The volumes are clad in a terracotta rainscreen with rheinzink fascias. Custom aluminum doors and windows have extremely minimal sightlines. The landscape design was carefully considered to create different outdoor experiences to enhance the house. The floating master suite volume pushes out over the main living volume towards the canyon and views. The main dining kitchen area opens up to a lush lawn while the main living space steps down from a concrete plinth onto a wood floor that extends outdoors to a wood deck and anchored by a linear fire element. Guest rooms face the concrete terrace and look out over the mirror surface of an infinity edge lap pool hovering two inches above deck level. A fountain conceived as an 18″-high monolithic volume of water is visible from the entry and doubles as a spa. A home theater is located in the basement and a separate volume houses a gym area with a spa and an office for the owner’s business and his employees complete with its own private deck.
