The iconic Plastikman track “EXhale” from creative visionary Richie Hawtin is now available within the groundbreaking new entertainment platform KOR Protocol.
As part of the inaugural interactive release, the drop of “EXhale” – originally conceived as part of the seminal 2014 “Ex” album, from the onetime live performance of Hawtin’s invitation at the Guggenheim’s 2013 International Gala – opens yet another phase of creativeness for the track, via dance heavyweight Dixon’s remix.
Richie Hawtin and Dixon are creative visionaries known for redefining the artist-fan connection, each remaining two of the most respected and prolific producers/remixers/DJs of the last twenty years and, alongside the included release of “My Love for You” by British producer Sound of Fractures, reflects each artist and KOR Protocol’s dedication and vision towards reimagining a passive music release as a highly collaborative process – transforming traditional music consumption into participatory art.
Entering a new ambitious chapter of fan empowerment, expression, and creativity today, this release
represents a unique fusion of artistry and technology that will drive the next generation of interactive music.
As emerging technologies continue to inspire creative expressions in the digital sphere, transdisciplinary artist collective Transmoderna, spearheaded by Dixon, has positioned itself at intersection of electronic music and digital arts as an unparalleled audiovisual experience whose latest work within the Black Mirror multiverse demonstrates a highly stimulating artist collaboration.
The release also includes Grammy award-winning musician and technologist Imogen Heap with her latest single “What Have You Done to Me. Heap has long been an innovator, responsible for pushing the boundaries of art and technology over a multiple-decade career
Each artist and track selected for the first release represents a unique fusion of artistry and technology that will drive the next generation of interactive music.
