Didn’t expect this to go viral. Glad people enjoyed this find. Allow me to re-introduce myself: My name is Dotan and I’m born and raised in NYC. I once traveled the world with my piano, playing on the streets of more than 500 cities, all while living in my van. NYC was definitely one of my favorite cities to play music in. Now I run LUME STUDIOS @lumestudios_ . An immersive event space and agency where we host parties, shows, and activations.
This is why I love NYC! If you stop rushing to get everywhere you will find raw moments like this: a guy in timbs pouring his soul into a Bach cello sonata. He made the subway sound like a cathedral. Pure joy!

One of the best parts about my job is tasting the food at every event. This event was for Tillamook X Rachel Antonoff at @lumestudios_

Funny enough, 2 years ago I pitched Teenage Engineering on hosting a pop up event series at @lumestudios_ . At the time I was super obsessed with the OP1 and very much in love with everything they do. Glad to see it’s here. Hope we get some performances or demos too @jugendingenieur
776NYC is open. A public retail space that’s always evolving, but always celebrating progress. A physical expression of our optimism at 776 about what’s possible when we keep building. Our first residency: the iconic @jugendingenieur. Come see for yourself at 216 Lafayette.

Connected Claude to after effects this week for a client project and we completed the first draft of a complex build…. This would have taken us 2 days to do manually.

Those invasive lantern flies are becoming a huge campaign. Squash them away and love NYC at the same time
