Noisey presents:

Under the project’s moniker Torn Hawk Luke Wyatt reassembles the visual and sonic debris of 1980s freshly digitalized mass and throwaway pop-culture, glueing the snippets back together and pairing them with a similarly lo-res soundtrack. Clips from personal VHS-tapes, rom-coms, computer games, commercials, obscure teen and action movies altogether form a bizarro-trashy mood board. The bumpy cuts and retro-digital artifacts blend with a choice of absurd motifs usually filed under B, C and Z movie. The images harmonize with pulsating layers of a soundtrack which isn’t ashamed to name the theme songs of Airwolf or Miami Vice on its list of inspirations. By means of reassembling those campy pop-cultural signifiers, Torn Hawk has created something new. And with releases on boutique labels like L.I.E.S., Not Not Fun, 1080p and Mexican Summer any good record store should have his music on the shelf. Get Hawked!
