Music for Perennial Planes
Projects
Album Art
Initiated in 2023, this project was released in collaboration with New Zealand’s iconic, environmentally conscious brand, Kowtow. A blend of analog and digital techniques was used to craft a cover that embodies the organic essence of both Kowtow’s collection “Simple Pleasures” and Modniy’s pieces for Music for Perennial Planes. Drawing on playful techniques in both the music and the garments, the design brings together elements of graphic minimalism, vintage typography and tasteful texure. Timeless typography blended with easily recognised imagery from nature allows the symbiotic relationshiop between the music and design to flourish. A combination of Adobe Suite, printing and photography were utilised to create the final look of this project. There was on an emphasis on experimental yet thoughtful approach to typography to help communicate the fluidity and playful nature of the music. The constraint was to create something that looked infinitely real and analog all the while exitsting in a predominantly digital space. There was distinct importance of emphasising real world textures by printing and scanning and the use of real assets in the mock-up stages of the process.
