“Bunkergang” is a video created in collaboration with industrial music label “Sturm” and musicians from newly formed band “Autogen“. It represents our ongoing collaboration with local industrial sub-culture in Riga. Video material filmed by “Sturm” folks in real, still functional bunker. Song written by Kaspars Kalniņš from “Autogen” who is also one of the founders of former “Rosewater” – one of the most recognized industrial band in Latvia which set new quality standards and performed abroad as well.

Our team helped out with video editing, assembling all footage into one piece, laying out the “story” and adding some minor video effects.

Project was started with a goal of creating music-video with elements of horror genre. It continues a line of Horror Music Videos (HMV) we started to develop recently. Opportunity of having for a time a camera in our hands was utilized in improvised fashion.  Song of choise fell on “Macabre Secrets“,  song written by Mexican EBM/industrial band Dulce Liquido.

This project represents the first seeds of inspiration “sucked into” us during our creative collaboration as VJs with Latvian industrial music sub-culture and from industrial music itself.

Video deals with a desolated human-like being wandering around in abandoned, decayed building and experiencing  fears from outside world.

Every second 4 children are born.

Every 4 seconds 1 child die.

Every day more than 22 thousand children under five die, mainly from pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, HIV/Aids, measles and malnutrition.

Every year more than 6 million infants don’t survive even one day on planet Earth.

Every year more than 42 million children don’t even born because their mothers decide to abort them.

In this video we decided to show you the live of typical average child on planet Earth.

As sources for our video footage we used more than 100 documentaries, especially from series “Unreported World” and “Dispatches” from British Channel 4.

Music: Roy Davis Jr – I Have A Vision (Feat Erin Martin) (Fred Falke Remix).

This is first part of our huge infographic dedicated to mighty ancient Greek Gods and their family relations. We discovered on wikipedia a schematic “family tree of the Greek Gods” and decided to change it into more visual infographic.

In this project we used such software as:

• Gimp for processing of source images (some images taken from Wikipedia, some from DeviantArt);
• Inkscape for drawing schem of infographic (you can see aproximate scale of this work in this picture);
• 3ds Max 2008 for modeling 3d elements;
• Grow:Ivy plugin for 3ds Max for simulation of growing plants.

This project is open for collaboration. If you want to help us to finish this enormous infographic contact us (yogzatot [at] gmail.com). Especially needed artists for drawing images of gods and their descendants.

Infographic was created using only open source software - Gimp and Inkscape. We also created three versions of this infographic in English, Latvian and Russian to better promote our work with different communities.

If you like our work and want some beautiful infographic done for you contact us on our e-mail – yogzatot [at] gmail.com.

In “Bloody Century” we decided to show all the bad things that happened with humanity in 20th century. During our first one hour performance we showed footage from WWI, WWII, Korea War, Vietnam War, Six Day War, Yom Kippur War, Iraq-Kuwait War and Gulf War.

You can watch last part of our performance dedicated to Iraq-Kuwait war and Gulf War in our YouTube account.

Yogzatot Studio

They saw our work for Latvian band “Whore Glamourama” during their performance in Riga in May 2008 and offered us to make a video on “Army March”.

This was one of our most difficult videos, took a lot of time to create conception and collect all the footage we needed.

We wanted to show interconnected and violent history of East Asia in 20th Century so we used footage from Russo-Japanese War, Chinese Civil War, Second Sino-Japanese War, WWII, Korean War, Japanese Student Protest Movements in 60th and Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.

He found us in YouTube, liked our previous works and offered us to use his music to illustrate one of our videos.

We always wanted to experiment with Bollywood movies, so we choose song “The Bollywood Revenge” (one of JCRZ’s many songs you can download for free on Jamendo) and after viewing of many Bollywood action films we found one that suit ideally for the theme of the song.

“Ghajini” is the latest Bollywood blockbuster, which was released on the 25th of December 2008 and now it is Bollywood’s highest grossing movie of all time. Wonderful love story alternates with brutal quest for revenge.

Angry, hungry Soviet Russia is coming for you, and they are going to eat you all alive and bomb everything that moves! No mercy, no democracy. Big Eye of Stalin and Nomenclatura is watching you, they want you. NKVD is going to talk with you, they have a few questions! Big Brother is watching you, even in your toilet. Nixon, Bush or any other won’t save you because Nikita Khrushchev is totally drunk and he doesn’t give a shit, he is ready to take a ride on a rocket like a cowboy. And wait for Lenin – he is packed into nuclear rocket and ready to explode in a Big Revolutionary Mushroom Cloud.
Actually in this video everyone got kicked in their asses in a final. This time somehow New/Old/Soviet World Orders didn’t impressed our imagination so on a list of concepts of world we would like to live these doesn’t fit into first places.

This video was achieved using mixture of techniques, in additional to linear editing we integrated methods of VJ – video djing by mixing video, applying real-time effects in VJ software and than recording all that chaos and adding to linear video editing. Aspect ratio of video is 4:3 which is different of our previous 16:9 videos. That’s mostly because of added VJ techniques where more preferable is video of 4:3 aspect ratio since these are common dimensions of projector screens while live music events. We also acknowledge that video isn’t in best possible quality – source files weren’t best ones.

Agonoize is a German Aggrotech band constituted of Mike Johnson (composition, programming, production & mastering), Oliver Senger (composition & programming) and Chris L (lyrics & vocals). This video is our first take on industrial music.
