My big brother Hyun Kim hipped me to this amazing experimental project by artist Kenzo Hakuta aka Kenzo Digital.
Watch the above video, read the brief description from the HuffPo below, and download the audio file on the project’s site here.
From Ben Aron at the HuffPo:
COGS is quite unique. It can be described as an epic, a musical, a soundscape, a movie for the blind, an art installation and a coming-of-age story. Kenzo also refers to COGS as “viral musical sound art.” COGS is a blend of multiple media and art genres and it explores new grounds for unconventional storytelling and ultimately gives rise to what Kenzo terms the world’s first “Beat Cinematic”. Kenzo arrived at this term by combining various mediums including 3D audio, multiple musical genres, and sound bites. Using some of hip-hop’s and film’s greatest talents (including Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie Smalls, Samuel L. Jackson and Joe Bataan), his aim is to create his own cross-medium ensemble cast, and out of many mediums, to create something epic and new.
Wow. I’m mesmerized. Seriously listen to this now.
