A new audiovisual project by two members of Prague’s
@BCAAsystem's collective
@bilej_kluk ,
@realitycongress
and @oliver_torr.
The album is a reimagining of artist Bilej Kluk’s persona into the new character and identity of AWOO, a character transported from our reality into a virtual realm, and given a task he must complete before being able to return home.
The album is released in a hybrid format, with both audio and visual narratives detailing AWOO’s journey as he bounces between radical dimensions, to attempt to bring about stability and protect the unknown worlds.
The story itself is told through three CGI music videos, and complementary Instagram reels that provide more narration, and enhance the depth of world-building of AWOO’s environment. The album consists of 10 tracks, and 5 short skits.
An AV live performance of the release is being assembled for the release of the album.
The album is gonna be released on 4.2.2023 on @BCAAsystem's label.
“Who tf r u?”
“Hey, calm down, will y'a? I know, might be a lil hard to get but – I'm sort of U and u r sort of ME, ok?”
AWOO is introduced at the moment of emerging from an “accident”, in which artist@bilej_kluk is split into another dimension and rendered into the form of a digital avatar whom the narrative follows. The story’s principle plotline is his pursuit to reunify this virtual consciousness with his true body, and return to his original reality.
But, the journey back is complicated, leading through numerous layers and worlds, where radically different physical laws, ecological systems, and biological beings exist. During his journey the avatar gains new perspectives and experiences, which — despite their origin being from alien realities — could prove useful for us in our own reality.
“Don't worry, you have my powers now so the tornados can't hurt you. But beware of their sorrow! The longer you stay, the more it feeds on you.”

The portal surface feels awfully cold and Awoo has just a split second to think: “Wait… did he say tornados?”
Here is a list of multiple links to personal portfolios and previous releases/works.
Technical side of visuals
Stranger's words don't seem to bring Awoo much satisfaction.
