clown and sunset  

In the summer of ‘04, Soul Keita, Nikita Quasim and Nicolas Jaar met for the first time in the border between Tijuana and San Diego. They felt both endangered and empowered by a force they could not express through words. So Nikita sang, while Soul and Nicolas clapped their hands. These three individuals have been trying to re-create this moment in no man’s land until Nicolas Jaar founded “clown and sunset”; an outlet for these three artists to re-invent lost memories.
