- Swedish sound designer Douglas Holmquist and illustrator Kristofer Ström also worked on the audiovisual release.
Be Yokai is a new collaboration from Sebastian Mullaert, Douglas Holmquist and Kristofer Ström.
The project's debut 12-inch will land on Hypercolour sub-label Space Hardware on October 28th. It's called Facefist and three of its four tracks are accompanied by moving images from Ström, which morph through surreal transitions between various anime-inspired figures in sync with the music. There are hopes to bring the audiovisual project to the stage in the future. A digital version will also be available from October 28th.
Mullaert is perhaps best known for his time as one half of techno act Minilogue. Holmquist is a Swedish sound designer and composer working in video games, film animation and advertising, while Ström is an illustrator. Both also write their own music.
