AWOO is a new audiovisual project by two members of Prague’s BCAAsystem collective Bilej Kluk & RealityCongress, co-produced with musician Oliver Torr.

In a creative reimagining of Bilej Kluk’s persona into the new character and identity of AWOO, the album follows Bilej Kluk’s split into another dimension and the body of a digital avatar. The story’s principle plotline is his pursuit to reunify this virtual consciousness with his true body, and return to his original reality.

But the journey back is complicated, leading through numerous layers and worlds, where radically different physical laws, ecological systems, and biological beings exist. During his journey the avatar gains new perspectives and experiences, which — despite their origin being from alien realities — could prove useful for us in our own reality.

The sound of ‘AWOO’ reprises more than Bilej Kluk’s identity, but his sound as a musician: the foggy and translucent ‘cloud rap’ the artist gathered his following through is stretched taut, spiked with Oliver Torr’s trademark hyper-real sound design, and sprawls across a battalion of genre influences throughout the album’s 10 tracks and 5 skits.

From injecting the driving flow of ‘deadbeat’ with gloomy grime-synths and shredded vocal chord screams, or the heavy hand on the sampler of rugged ‘spezial’, Torr and AWOO’s co-production is ruthlessly disparate, but adeptly subsumes trance, hyperpop, trap, metal subgenres and numerous club musics into a glycerine-gleam whole.

‘AWOO’ is released in a hybrid format that harmonises the audio with visual narratives as vivid as the music itself: three extended CGI music videos and complementary Instagram reels built in Unreal Engine 5 by BCAAstudio (RealityCongress and Michal Plodek) tell the full story of AWOO, providing further narration and enhancing the world-building of AWOO’s environment.

The project’s video art comprises multiple techniques and modern digital capture tools, from the character creation made in the new Metahuman software to the live-action motion capture recorded using the Perception Neuron suite. Custom clothes for AWOO were created in Marvellous Designer, models created in Blender, and textures made using Substance Painter. Additional materials and models used from Quixel libraries.

Released on 4.2.2023 via BCAAsystem.

BCAAstudio is part of BCAAsystem collective - focused and open for commision projects created with technologies such as motion capture, realtime engines and 3D softwares. It is a small studio oriented on providing personal creative solutions for various projects, as well as developing its own.

BCAAsystem is a polyfunctional collective existing on the frontiers of contemporary alternative music, art and theory. Our projects flow through categories: we are an art group, a music label, an AV studio and a DJ crew — and anything else we can or need to become. We operate irl and online; we fill and share space. We are based in Prague but fighting to break through all constricting boundaries: being part of the global soul, we belong anywhere, and anyone can belong to us.
