This unique product showcases original music paired with striking visuals and moving images from creatives worldwide. The collaboration between !K7 Records and dgv highlights the synergy of music and design, featuring exclusive bonus tracks and an interactive DVD with video clips for every song from "Disconnected," including multiple versions produced by diverse filmmakers and animators. Notable contributors include MK-12 (USA), Inkunstruktion (France), and Viagrafik (Germany), all presented within a captivating interface designed by Die Gestalten.
