Smith & Lyall They add: “We are delighted to launch ‘Music:Response’ in Casa Batlló because Gaudí illustrates the freedom of expression to which we aspire. Gaudí created fantasy worlds with his buildings, with their own rules and logic. They are immersive environments in which one has the sensation of being outside the normal world, an escape from reality towards the sublime. The universe of the Chemical Brothers shares this same spirit and has also become an autonomous world.” You can get your tickets through this link.
