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).

  • Creek House

    Set amidst a volcanic boulder field in a pine and fir forest, Creek House is a family retreat that inhabits an existing outcrop clearing at the edge of the spring fed Martis Creek. Near the base of Lookout Mountain at Northstar California Resort, the house is conceived in plan as three directional bars that slide between and alongside the boulders and trees. The largest contains the main living areas and sleeping quarters. A margin sized bar houses the entry and support spaces and connects the third bar that contains a tandem, drive-through garage to the house. A south facing, 140-foot long, insulated concrete wall demarks the spaces longitudinally and situates the house in the mountainous terrain.   A shift of the major bar to the west over the natural downslope of the site earns two requested rock gardens. The garden to the east is open to the sky and built into the void left by the displacement, with building height concrete walls retained to provide privacy for the master bedroom.  The gravel surface, set with site native basalt stones and framed with water, can be viewed only through a low, three-dimensional glass box that allows the garden to penetrate the room. A rectangular basin captures snow melt to create a protective and ephemeral pool of water around this most private area of the house. The second garden to the west lives under the cantilevered house that shields the lower level from the west sun and contains the largest boulders of the site. A glazed hallway floor above reveals a dramatic drop in the topography and car sized boulders. At the top of the slope, the one-story horizontal form presents a closed and secure face to the northwestern street exposure. Fire resistive steel rain screens and tempered glazing inhabit the territories earned by the concrete wall. The mass heavy house is designed as a long thin rectangle that faces the sun to maximize solar exposure during winter and minimize heat gain from the west and east in summer. The house is cooled by prevailing breezes that flow up and through the house from the west. Radiantly heated bluestone floors, solar assisted domestic hot water and LED electric light further reduce energy demands.
