Nine films were created and re-interpreted in up to five versions, which can be randomly accessed using the angle and subpicture button on the remote control. 10 tracks [5 exclusive] feature internationally acclaimed electronica musicians including Kid 606, Scanner, Burnt Friedman, Ken Ishii and Funkstörung.With over 90 minutes of multi-angle films and multi-audio tracks utilising dynamic 3D space over 5:1 audio, D-Tonate pushes the boundaries of DVD technology creating a totally unique video experience.
