All the digital releases will eventually culminate into a limited-edition physical album/package with extra features, videos, tracks etc. and will be available in hard copy.
Franklinstein video
Mr Sakitumi also recently premiered his self-made Franklinstein video on Don't Party. Franklinstein is a behind-the-scenes look at the make-up of a track. It's a shot-by-shot encounter of each featured instrument on the track, at the time that it is featured on the track. The entire video was shot in Mr Sakitumi's studio and pieced together both phonically and visually in Ableton.
"The idea was that I write and record a track from scratch, but as I put down each part, I also capture the video aspect as well. Then put all the parts together to make the full track, with multiple versions of me playing together. I basically tried to play a bunch of instruments in the process. Just a fun idea for me to try out," Mr Sakitumi said.
