Michael Straun
The xx: I See You Tour 2017


KOI Judges’ comments
“Really innovative design approach, unconventional method of lighting, works really well, dynamic and unexpected.”
Jonny Milmer
“Taking the band’s latest album title – I See You – to the extreme, Michael Straun’s design for The XX tour made a bold artistic statement, with automated mirrors and beautiful washes of colour creating mesmerising visual effects in lieu of video content. A perfect conversation between music and lighting.”
