When we last saw Thomas Dolby, the veteran hit maker had done a new album and a video game, Map of the Floating City. He made that record in his own studio, built on an old lifeboat at his home on England’s North Sea coast. Now, Dolby is back with a one-of-a-kind film and live music project, The Invisible Lighthouse. It's the result of his potentially dangerous — and probably illegal — attempts to document the destruction of a structure that he holds dear.

Dolby talks with Soundcheck host John Schaefer about The Invisible Lighthouse.
