Modeselektor, a German electronic music duo comprising Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, truly revolutionized the electronic music scene with their distinct genre-blending style. The duo not only produced audio stimulation but also offered iconic visual masterpieces via their music videos and album artworks, making a resounding impact in both music and visual art sectors. Their third studio album “Monkeytown," released in 2011, featured captivating visuals that transported viewers into an ethereal, abstract landscape, exemplifying their attention to detail and commitment to provide a complete audio-visual experience.
One of Modeselektor’s most striking videos is for their track "Berlin," directed by François Chalet. The video uses playful animation to depict a wild journey around a constantly shifting, cosmic Berlin. Then there's the video for "Shipwreck," a collaboration with Radiohead's Thom Yorke. Directed by Tony "Truand" Datis, it features a young boy in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world. But these sombre visuals contrast against another interesting fact; Szary collects Monchhichis, a line of Japanese stuffed toy monkeys, many of which appear in album artworks and music videos. It's these eccentric and diverse choices that make Modeselektor much more than just a pair of music producers; they are artisans blending sound and vision to create a truly immersive experience.
