Clown & Sunset Aesthetics

Clown & Sunset Aesthetics (CSA) is an interdisciplinary production house founded by Nicolas Jaar and Noah Kraft in 2011.

The event, titled "From Scratch," was an improvised, interdisciplinary, performance presented by CSA, MoMA PS1 and Pitchfork.

[2] "From Scratch" featured performances from Nicolas Jaar, Will Epstein, Sasha Spielberg, filmmaker Ryan Staake and Lizzie Fiedelson.

The Prism featured songs from a number of artists on the Clown & Sunset label in collaboration with each other, including new tracks from Nicolas Jaar.

[4] In an interview with the New York Times, Jaar explained, “If we’re going to make a new way to give music to people, it’s going to be imbued with the same type of poetry or the same type of concepts that a song would have.” [5] The Prism sold out within one week during pre-sales.
