Ahead of the release of <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/markus-mehr/">Markus Mehr</a>'s incredible new album <em>Binary Rooms</em> lands on 15<sup>th</sup> of October we have something very special to share with you. Experimental filmmaker and Markus Mehr collaborator <a href="https://vimeo.com/sixtsense/videos">Stefanie Sixt</a> has created a stunning new video work for the album track ‘Gymnasium/Swarms’. View the full video at <a title="Stefanie Sixt 'Gymnasium/Swarms'" href="https://vimeo.com/105644655" target="_blank">Vimeo</a>, stream the track at <a title="SoundCloud" href="https://soundcloud.com/hidden_shoal/06_gymnasium-swarms" target="_blank">SoundCloud </a>and download it at <a title="Bandcamp" href="https://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/track/gymnasium-swarms" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>.

The track is is juxtaposing the human against the industrial, the gentle and intimate against the jolting and harsh – a striking re-design of aural reality filled with a living, digital biology.
This video is an abstract visualization of these ideas.

<em>Binary Rooms </em>is Mehr’s fifth studio album and his most challenging and engaging to date. The album will be released on the15<sup>th</sup> of October 2014 through <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/">Hidden Shoal</a>. Advance album promo downloads, streams and video below.

<em>“In this blissful wanderlust Mehr succeeds in spades creating a completely engrossing, engaging and all together reliable album full of the most powerful ambient-drone tracks this year</em>” – <strong>Tome to the Weather Machine</strong>

<em>“They’re ‘big’ compositions, the sheer scale of the sonic work is rather awe inspiring, but they never sound antagonistic or uncomfortable… it sounds like the ebb and flow of space itself – individual snippets of a grand, repeating, organic process that keeps the universe in balance…” </em>– <strong>No Ripcord</strong>
