San Francisco-based artist ZOOLOOK takes listeners on an extraordinary journey through sound and vision with STONEFRENGE: Black in Space. This groundbreaking project merges electronic music, vivid storytelling, and 2D animation, making it much more than just an album, it’s a multidimensional experience. STONEFRENGE: Black in Space represents the artist’s creative mastery in music production and animation, setting a new standard for immersive music videos.
STONEFRENGE: Black in Space introduces us to the Soul Rebels, animated characters who serve as intergalactic protectors against Earth-based threats. Together with ROXANNE and HAL-LE, their AI assistant, they pilot the SR-420 spacecraft, ensuring the safety of the universe from terrestrial "SKUM." This narrative is brought to life through meticulously crafted animation, blending Adobe Animate and After Effects with ZOOLOOK’s signature artistic style.
The album’s concept stems from ZOOLOOK’s fascination with the intersection of music and storytelling, heavily influenced by legendary artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Moby, and Depeche Mode. These inspirations resonate deeply within the music, which boasts lush electronic textures, hypnotic beats, and atmospheric melodies.
Tracks like "Natural High" and "Rockers" showcase ZOOLOOK’s ability to balance intricate soundscapes with universal appeal. Meanwhile, "We Come in Peace (And Love)" offers a heartfelt anthem of unity and exploration. Each track seamlessly integrates with the animation, amplifying the visual narrative while standing strong as a sonic experience on its own.
ZOOLOOK’s fusion of pulsating rhythms, ethereal synths, and layered production creates an otherworldly soundscape. Fans of Hans Zimmer’s cinematic scores or Kate Bush’s experimental artistry will find echoes of their brilliance within this album, yet ZOOLOOK’s work remains uniquely his own.
Produced entirely at ZOOLOOK Records in San Francisco, STONEFRENGE: Black in Space exemplifies the artist’s independent spirit. This self-produced project reflects his dedication to pushing boundaries, blending music with cutting-edge animation to offer an experience that captivates the eyes and ears alike.
STONEFRENGE: Black in Space is a visionary achievement that redefines the relationship between music and visual art. ZOOLOOK’s innovative storytelling, paired with his genre-defying sound, makes this project a must-experience for fans of electronic music and animation alike.
