Art Direction & Visual Design — S78PM2906, “New Album Cover”

For the new release by S78PM2906, a Polish producer based in Berlin and a distinctive voice in the IDM and experimental Techno landscape, I crafted a visual universe that transforms his sound into an emotional geography made of ice, glitch, and digital poetry.

The cover is conceived as a fragment of a dreamlike landscape: a dissolving glacial expanse carved by metallic clouds, cold vapors, and storm-like textures. Shades of hazy blue, powdery sky tones, and silver-white create a suspended, hypnotic atmosphere, evoking the feeling of staring into an immense, undefined horizon.
The glossy surface reminiscent of a freshly unwrapped vinyl’s protective film  turns the object into something alive, pristine, and precious, like a sonic artifact from a distant future.

Typography becomes a code: ST906/06 and S/2 are not mere titles, but cryptic markers, coordinates that guide the eye through a composition that’s intentionally minimal and deconstructed. They act as stamps, hints, fragments of a visual grammar that merges industrial precision with abstract sensibility.

From the edge of the cover, the vinyl label emerges as a sharp focal point: the “S/2” symbol, treated with a grainy, glitch-inspired texture, pulses like a digital signal passing through water, ice, and electricity.
The deep, glossy black of the record contrasts dramatically with the ethereal blues of the cover, turning the object into a sculptural monolith  almost ceremonial.

Every element in this project is designed to evoke a physical sensation:
the grainy roughness of the cover, the smoothness of the vinyl, the subtle crinkle of transparent plastic.
A tactile and visual experience that anticipates the sound electronic, massive, enigmatic, that the artist delivers.

This is more than a cover; it’s a portal.
An image breathing with the same intensity as the music it contains.
