outliers vol I = a scenic documentary!

we are really glad this amazing looking project has reached its funding goal via the awesome kickstarter website. chicago based studio Scenic in collaboration with outstanding photographers Tim Navis and Kim Høltermand, plus electronic music composer Deru, are now set to embark on a journey to explore uncharted terrains of remote Iceland and document the entire experience with the goal of producing a beautifully packaged box set of the film in blu-ray quality, a photo book, and companion soundtrack.

.
one of the many highlights of the project is its proposed soundtrack, curated by the aforementioned Deru, it will feature music from some of our favorite producers. goldmund, shigeto, ryuichi sakamoto, loscil, tycho, and take are just some of the names that will be providing exclusive soundscapes to accompany the visual side of this yet to be commenced journey. you can preview a couple of the cuts below.

Deru – Outliers Iceland (Video Edit) by Deru

although the project has already surpassed its funding goal, there’s still a few hours to go before it moves into its next phase. that means there’s still time to support it and more importantly to get a hold of one of its many limited rewards. for instance by pledging 80$ or more you can grab a limited photo book + a box set containing the blu-ray disc, a music CD, a booklet, and a digital download version. hurry up and pledge some well worth money to this much promising project! in the meantime check out more details via kickstarter or follow @ScenicStudio on twitter for current updates
