- The Berlin-based visual artist will unveil his music for the first time.
Modeselektor's Monkeytown imprint will release Gajek’s debut album, Restless Shapes, on November 21st.
The LP is built on a conceptual framework recalling abstract minimalist and modern classical techniques, bringing together 21 short tracks that circle around three core motifs. It moves through three "complexes" or movements—"Curved Engines," "Restless Water Shapes" and "Moving Glasses"—each with their own rhythmic or tonal restrictions. Restless Shapes is the first-ever public release for Gajek, who's made a name for himself over the past few years working alongside musicians like Clark as a visual artist and designer. You can watch a recording of the album’s accompanying live A/V performance below.
