Hieroglyphic Being
In the latest edition of our film series with SONOS, we see how Chicago's school of hard knocks shaped a deeply singular artist.
RA and SONOS have collaborated over the past five years to tell the stories of the electronic music artists who’ve had an undeniable impact on our scene. We’ve travelled back to their home towns to understand how their experiences have shaped their careers, discovered the records they listen to at home, and, in our latest feature, understood how film has inspired their musical tastes. Explore film, audio, playlists, video essays and more.
