05. Breathe - available March 23rd 2022 Artefact and visualizer by Jonathan Zawada I Hate My Shelf directed by Andreas Nilsson
Röyksopp have teamed up with Norwegian singer-songwriter Astrid S on the latest installment from their Profound Mysteries project, Breathe. “I have always wanted to collaborate with Röyksopp, they have been and continue to be a huge inspiration for me," states Astrid S. “I’m really excited for the music to finally come out!” Alongside the effervescent electronic beat-driven Breathe, featuring ice cool vocals from Astrid S, the Profound Mysteries creative world grows with a new artefact and visualiser from artist Jonathan Zawada, this time in the form of a vivid blue industrial design with black feathers.
The Breathe film I Hate My Shelf adds another visual element, directed by award-winning and internationally acclaimed Swedish filmmaker Andreas Nilsson (Kanye West, 2 Chainz, MGMT). Nilsson, known for his visually dynamic sense of humor, is a long-time Röyksopp collaborator having previously worked on short films for their albums Junior, Senior and the music video for This Must Be It. I Hate My Shelf is a compulsive watch, set in a hotel corridor with a woman, a man, and a spinning shelf. A bespoke immersive Breathe AR Filter based around the Profound Mysteries trefoil logo also launched today on Röyksopp's Instagram account. The filter was developed by Somewhere Systems, the immersive web agency responsible for the ‘Press R’ landing page.
Profound Mysteries is an expanded creative universe and prodigious conceptual project brought to you by Röyksopp, featuring a host of audio-visual collaborators. On January 1st, 2022 Röyksopp launched the film (Nothing But) Ashes… and fans were encouraged to Press «R». Alongside the Kasper Häggström-directed short film BJA, a second piece of music, The Ladder, was released. A new artefact and visualiser, created by Jonathan Zawada, brought the music to life. On February 2nd, following the premiere of The Downfall by Marc Reisbig, another chapter was revealed with Impossible featuring Alison Goldfrapp — the first human voice to be heard on Profound Mysteries. A third artefact and visualiser expanded the hyper real collection. On February 22nd another short film was released; The Conversation from award winning Danish director Martin De Thurah, a previous Röyksopp collaborator (Do It Again and What Else Is There), followed by This Time, This Place, featuring vocals from creative polymath, conceptualist, and film director Beki Mari. All elements are accessible through the Profound Mysteries portal.
