Xero Redux is the directorial debut of the artist collective "The Zonders". Inspired by the movie XERO produced by Rockford Kabine's AVN-Award-Winner 2010 (Best Soundtrack), the piece serves as a visual transmitter for this collaboration and delivers to us the limited edition T-Shirt in an intensely visceral nightmare.
Xero Redux marches to the beat of its own surreal rhythm. You take a bite of the cake even if you are not hungry. Rockford Kabine's characters are expressed without limits, they touch the sky until music is transformed into insanity knocking at your door. The Zonders have a clear understanding of the dark side and are not scared to express the uncomfortable but yet liberating surreal narrative landscape where sins manifest as they captures the unique flavour of Rockford Kabine with their beautiful and disturbing sound.
A ground breaking concept, this is the first T-Shirt to have it's own music video.
The Zonders
The Zonders, are an international artist collective that are revolutionising graphic and print design with their very unique individualist style, heavily influenced by different styles of music, their visual outputs create surrealistic landscapes for clients who are willing to think a little bit harder.
Their projects have a varied structure, characterised by the constant change between art and culture. Championing art, design and creativity the Zonders form the nucleus of a futuristic design studio, who are continuously developing their concepts and projects and are dedicated to progress through highly talented creative collaborations.
Their design style is life as an exclamation, not an explanation.
Rockford Kabine
Rockford Kabine is a composer and production team for contemporary, electronic and acoustic music since 1999. RK is considered as the originator of Acid Smurf. The music and the singing arise from the fear of death.
The complex structure of melody and harmony comes from religious tradition of the Naxi. Two days of reciting Joseph Rock is the purest form of meditation and mental foundation for creating the unique sound of RK. To be honest: Rockford Kabine is the most innovative artist collective in West Germany today.
