Japanese industrial/avant-garde synth duo group A partner with choreographer/performer Dana Gingras and Montréal media artist Sonya Stefan as well as Finnish lighting designer Mikko Hynninen for anOther, the multimedia project developed and premiered at Agora de la danse, Montréal, April 2018. Performance, installation of televisions, sound, light, and image converging to create an exhilarating event placing a living, breathing and transmuting body at the heart of the experience. "A hybrid of art installation and electroacoustic performance, anOther transports us into a post-feminine fourth dimension, whose atmosphere is as enticing as it is paradoxically unsettling. This jewel of experimental choreography will thrill visual art and underground music aficionados." --Mélanie Carpentier, Le Devoir. Solid red vinyl; edition of 400.

Berlin-based, Japanese industrial synth duo Group A's debut on Mannequin Records. Tommi Tokyo and Sayaka Botanic released two studio albums and one live album in Tokyo before moving to Berlin in 2016. With their mixture of dark minimal synth, avant-noise, striking visuals, and performance art, the duo carries the very breath of early industrial pioneers. "T.O.P." and "Ketabali" represents their personal reaction against the current economy -- an up-yours to capitalism, news, and politics. "Alibi" was inspired by an autobiography of Hi-Red Centre (Japanese avant-grade group in the '60-70s) written by one of the members, Genpei Akasegawa.
