Now Playing: “Artists in Motion”

Where does Truth in Sound start? It begins with artists on the cutting edge of creation—composers, musicians, artisans, dancers, sound mixers, and DJs—constantly in motion, never resting, always inventing, exploring, and pushing the boundaries of their art. Their passion is to create and find their Truth in Sound. And then, to share it with the world.

“This film series highlights artists stepping out from behind the scenes to tell their stories, describe their creative process, and show us the reality of creation,” explains Justin Bright, Director of Marketing and Digital Technology. “These professionally produced films don’t overtly endorse the MartinLogan brand. They reinforce the essential elements of the MartinLogan mission by illuminating the creative process. The effect is compelling and authentic.”
