Romain Pissenem, Founder of High Scream, joins us on In Close Proximity to share the details inside Head Trip's immersive stage design, how he built three of Ibiza's most iconic clubs alongside his brother, and creating spaces that connect people. He is perhaps one of the most impactful people in electronic music production, bringing some of the most incredible artistic visions to life.
We discuss what designing a show really entails, working with artists like Swedish House Mafia, the growth of electronic music, and that no idea is too ambitious when you have the right team behind you.
