THE CONCEPT
Roman Currency — in the round.

360-degree configuration. 65-foot vaulted ceiling. Roman columns.
No front. No back. Only inside.
Capitale becomes the physical form of Carl Craig's music — the spatial, breathing architecture his work has always demanded. Since Planet E Communications in 1992, his work has been about space: how sound breathes, expands, fills architecture. A 65-foot reverberant ceiling inside a room designed as a central gathering space is his music made physical.
THE ARTIST
CARL CRAIG
Electronic DJ, producer and composer Carl Craig was a pivotal part of Detroit’s second wave of techno in the ’90s. Known by many aliases – including Paperclip People and 69 – he incorporates bold melodies and flickers of ambient, jazz, new wave and Krautrock into his sets, guided by a fascination with futurism.
Craig has produced mixes for the likes LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, Friendly Fires and Pet Shop Boys; and his label, Planet E Communications, is home to fellow Detroit names Kevin Saunderson and Moodymann.
Capitale was built in 1882 as a Beaux-Arts banking hall.
65-foot vaulted ceiling. Roman columns. A central floor designed to hold the weight of an empire.
For one night it holds something else.

360 degrees. No front. No back. The room becomes the instrument — and everyone inside it is part of the same moment simultaneously.
This is Roman Currency.
