Video Metal

format //
DVD-r / NTSC / Region Free

running time //
00:011:44

synopsis //
Video Metal combines Yoshi Sokeoka's (aka C505) frenetic and bastardized analog video compositions in conjunction with his insidiously maniacal guitar work into a hybridized form that will obliterate your senses. Proceed with caution as reported cases confirm that Sodeoka's distrorted Video Metal deities have been reaching through the screen and melting viewers on site.

Elemental Shift

format //
DVD-r / NTSC / Region Free

running time //
01:01:01

synopsis //
Cichocki’s work captures a sublime oneness with nature, but can hardly be called still and meditative. Sharing an affinity with noise artists, Elemental Shift is meticulously edited together, creating an incredibly intense visceral experience which, at points, should probably require a legal disclaimer for epileptics.
