GoGo Penguin

GoGo Penguin perform their exhilarating new score to Godfrey Reggio’s documentary masterpiece Koyaanisqatsi.

Borrowing its title from the Hopi word meaning ‘life out of balance’, Koyaanisqatsi surveys the beauty of the natural world through slow motion and time lapse footage, documenting nature’s uneasy relationship with modern technology. With no text, narration, or dialogue, the film is driven by the interplay between image and sound.

GoGo Penguin are known for their trademark mash-up of minimalist piano themes, propulsive bass lines and electronica inspired drums. Acoustic jazz rubs up against visceral electronics and epic melody in this powerful score.
