EXO

Genre: Audiovisual Live-Show

Release: 2020

Length: 45 min

Description: For the Ambient-Music-Album Exo of the electronic music producer Bit-Tuner I produced a 3D-animated video. The music influenced by topics like the social and structural turmoils of the past years, the strong connections between communities and the sensation of being in an economic deadlock. For the visual narration I was asking myself: What is it that surrounds us, and how do we approach and interact with forces that are beyond our (apparent) reach? Looking for answers, I invited molecular objects which are propelled into a world similar to ours, where they operate, interact and affect their surroundings, creating and leaving behind something new and strange. Together Bit-Tuner and I produced an audiovisual live-show, in which Bit-Tuner and I can manipulate each medium during the show. The videos you see are extracts of that show which were released as music videos.
