Rem Koolhaas

Recording is the beginning of a conceptual production. I am somehow collapsing the two - recording and producing - into a single event."

Beginning

Rem Koolhaas
"The great problem of the concert hall is that the shoebox is the ideal shape for acoustics but that no architect worth their names wants to build a shoebox."
