Travelling Light

Travelling Light

Sara has history as a jazz guitar player and loves classic sonic colours for guitar being applied to new means of creativity. 

Given the transport logistics for a DJ and set up & tear down time, we needed to design a broad palette in a small footprint that would integrate as seamlessly as possible with a DJ mixer…”
