The video for ‘Step Into The World’ by Waq Waq Kingdom (Jahtari) was produced as an exclusive piece for The Quietus magazine. Feedback techniques are used to emphasise the heavy snare accent in this bass-driven track, using Quartz Composer and live video. The focus is on the disassociated eyes and mouth of the vocalist to create an eerie and dark offering.
Formed in 2015, the science ninja team WaqWaq Kingdom is running secret operations from their underground bases in Berlin and Leipzig. With their combined WaqWaq powers they set out to save the galaxy and re-chart sonic territory as we know it.
