‘KT-DR1’ is a collaborative work pairing Keith Tucker’s audio with Damien Roach’s visuals. Taking Tucker’s otherworldly, futuristic sonics and its roots in the optimistic stargazing of Detroit Techno as a starting point, Roach’s imagery takes us on a 3 minute animated journey he calls ‘Abstract Sci-Fi’.
He describes the work as ‘hacking the aesthetic architecture of cinematic science fiction, like lens flares, chrome, and prismatic lighting, and rerouting it towards a dreamlike, non-narrative form’. ‘KT-DR1’ connects the dots between these two artists' practices in a futuristic, transatlantic, cross-generational first. This edit is a short version of the full file available to collect in a limited edition of 25.
