Working with musicians spins the cogs in our brains in a way that merges unrestricted creativity with the need to convey the complex mechanisms of emotions found in lyrics and sounds.

It was no different when designing the artwork for Zar Paulo’s debut album “Elendig Software” where we were invited to fully submerge ourselves into the band’s tangled universe and bleak meanderings through the blueprints of Aarhus Hospital, where the album was recorded.

What you’ll encounter on that sensory journey is an analogue vision that incorporates digital references, layered cyber conundrums, ignorant 90s IT malfunctionings and distorted symbols representing each of the songs’ unique messaging.

Harnessing the power of creative coding, we transformed every lyric into a tangible entity, inviting viewers to delve into the depths of the album's narrative. Within the booklet, we dared to disrupt the icons corresponding to the lyrics, enhancing the visual intrigue and offering a richer experience for the reader.

Together with the band, we wanted to synthesize text, sound and vision into a palpable exploration of Zar Paulo’s charismatic debut.
