Q: What has been your most memorable experience with Vox to date?
A: Our "Vuurbees | Firebeast" concert in the basement parking of King Price Insurance. What an experience. We performed various phenomenal works that Franco composed. The vibe was just extraordinary. There were art installations and projections of visual artists, installation art and sound installation. Singing LIVE with a sound installation of the earth's magnetic field, created by the Terrella application, was a surreal experience. It was truly something out of this world. We made a statement that day that we as human beings must do all in our power to protect the earth and fight climate change.
