collaborations
Several opportunities to work with other talented artists have emerged, and continue to present themselves. xkl welcomes these collaborations, and will be adding more projects as they are completed.
Song & Video Collaboration with "Le Pustra"
Performance artist "Le Pustra" plays a recurring role as Edwina Morrell on the critically acclaimed German television and Netflix production "Babylon Berlin." Le Pustra connected with our music (thanks to social media) resulting in a collaboration on a song and video. This involved traveling to Berlin to work with him and Markus Reuter at Low Swing Studio.
The piece is entitled "The Dead City," a modern interpretation of “Glück das Mir Verlieb” (“Happiness that Remained”) from Erich Korngold’s 1920 opera “Die Tote Stadt” (“The Dead City”). Released April, 2026.
Adriana Lazzari
Perugia, Italy
Italian AI artist, Adriana Lazzari has used music by xkl in several of her
outstanding creations. Here she put striking imagery to an unreleased track "61 Angels."
tetsuo noise box
Sicily
These "noise boxes" are amazing little creations, and no two are alike. We were more than happy to have our unreleased track "61 Angels" used for this demo post.
How to Dance with a Headache (and not Make it Worse)
Visual artist John Schuerman has been coping with long Covid (more specifically a Covid vaccine "injury"), and has found relief through rigging a wooden brace for his head while moving ethereally to our piece "schiele." He gave us permission to share this artistic glimpse into his struggle.
