We’re really looking forward to having the final printed assets in the studio, but we want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved for the amazing work and support.
We felt it was a shame to have the story we created be such a background concept for the album. So we built (together with Rob Walker) a text based adventure game, where the user can play through the story, and if won, receive a bonus track
We then collaged these together after building them in blender, and created the final tapestry. Alongside this we created a custom typeface for the tracklist and title that was based off a gothic script font and then manipulated to mimic pixel/video game graphics
Once we’d created the story we wanted to tell, we started sketching out how all the characters would look. We then started sculpting these in VR
The way in which jacquard knitting machines work, creates a sort of grid pattern that we felt was reminiscent of pixel grids. We wanted to play with the duality of these two mediums.
Heavee had a story he wanted us to tell. Of a character who goes on a journey of self discovery, fighting demons and coming out the other side stronger. Through our research we were drawn to medieval tapestries and the way in which this would tell tales
Here’s a thread of the process behind the album we worked on for @heavee773 and @Hyperdub
The second part of the artwork is a text based adventure game we designed and built by Rob Walker. Exploring the adventure and saga behind the album artwork.

Big thanks to @GMDLCC grads @StudioPlusminus for spending an hour with us to talk us through their studio practice, in particular the design process and astonishing detail levels for the soon to be released @shokuhin_maturi album Yasuragi Land on @Hyperdub foodman.bandcamp.com/album/y…
Okinawa-inspired soy sauce for the foodman record
Yasuragi landのジャケ作ってもらったデザイナーの @StudioPlusminus と打ち合わせの時に、自分は沖縄のルーツもあるからその要素も入れて欲しいって色々沖縄の画像送ったらシーサー型ぽい醤油差しあって感動した。
