Radio Nova

Free-thinking, inquisitive, festive and creative, Radio Nova is a leading-edge music media founded in 1981. It prides itself on showcasing emerging musical and cultural talents from around the world. Always eager to share this avant-garde vision, Radio Nova is participating in VELUX ART’s gallery project and artistic incubator, raising the curtain on the latest trends and adding a musical note to the Paris Design Week, a headline event in the city of lights!

The VELUX ART experience at the Galerie Joseph is a multisensory journey designed to completely immerse visitors. While their eyes take in the innovative designs and layouts, their ears will be treated to an exclusive soundtrack put together by Radio Nova to enhance the visitor experience.

Radio Nova programmer Christian Nzonta has designed an exclusive playlist for this partnership with VELUX. A DJ and member of the 2023 Artistic Director’s Club jury in the Sound Design category, he wanted to establish a parallel between music and design. For him, these two sectors share a similar process: a creative and multidisciplinary intellectual approach which, here, can be equated with musical genres. The pieces were carefully curated to reach out, move people, and improve their daily life. 

The chosen artists all share exceptional creativity, the ability to invest their music with a sound esthetic conveying an influence, a subject, an image or a period. Wide-ranging, these pieces represent both synthetic and organic approaches. The result is an arty, pop & fresh groove promoting contemplation and introspection… The ideal soundtrack for wandering through the rooms of the house built by VELUX and its partners, and to admire the artists of VELUX ART.

Music, often called a universal art, has this unique power to completely alter the atmosphere of a place. Like impeccable lighting or a well-designed layout, a melody or rhythm can redefine a room, making it warm, spirited or soothing. It turns out music and VELUX have something in common: both excel at transforming space.
