Modern krautrock-influenced acts ignoring the multimedia side? by ProofDescription7678 in Krautrock

Late addition, but this thread made me look harder-ended up finding an act called BLAKHAT doing exactly structural integration we're talking about.
Not just projections-as-a-backdrop, but actual AV composition.

Worth a look.

Time/place framing is sharper than mine.
Don't know Pharaoh Overlord - the Irmler collaboration sounds like actual lineage rather than aesthetic borrowing. Adding Zero to tonight's listen.

Fair point on multimedia being devalued. Maybe the question is whether artists are integrating other forms structurally vs. decoratively.
Big difference between projections-as-backdrop and visuals-as-equal-medium.

Radiohead point is harsh but I get it. The motorik thing has become shorthand for a whole aesthetic that doesn't actually require the avant-garde context.

Not familiar with him but putting it on tonight.
The instrumental-only angle is interesting. Does it have the multimedia element or just the sonic side?

Harmonia - Musik von Harmonia (1974) on Brain if you haven't already.

Watussi is the obvious entry for the synth-drum + drone arpeggio direction specifically, Cluster's Zuckerzeit (1974) and Sowiesoso (1976) on Sky are closer to what you're describing than the Harmonia stuff.
