Marty Supreme Global Listening Day inside Devon Turnbull’s HiFi Pursuit Listening Room Dream No. 3

Join Cooper Hewitt for a special presentation of the original film score for Marty Supreme inside HiFi Pursuit Listening Room Dream No. 3, a large-scale, handmade audio system by multi-disciplinary artist Devon Turnbull. As part of A24’s multi-city Marty Supreme Global Listening Day, visitors will be able to experience selections from the soundtrack through Turnbull’s handmade, high-fidelity speaker system.

Marty Supreme is an upcoming film directed by Josh Safdie, following a young table-tennis player in the 1950s as he pursues his dream of becoming a champion. A24 is an independent entertainment studio known for its artist-driven approach to contemporary cinema. The film’s soundtrack features an original score by Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), along with selected tracks that reflect the film’s period setting and emotional arc.
