This conceptual redesign of Mura Masa's second studio album aims to channel the release's title into visual means.

Through generative processes, each track on the album was analysed to generate a unique seed, with which a pattern was created. The LP disc labels are a visual representation of the album's title track, whilst the rest of the album's tracks are part of the inside of the gatefold cover, and feature on the 9-panel folding lyric sheet poster.

In addition to the artwork, I also produced a sampler of concept live visuals. Key tracks from the RYC tour's setlist were used to produce audio-reactive generative visuals using TouchDesigner. The visuals mainly react to bass and sub frequencies. Alongside the generative content is live-action footage, both manipulated and raw.

RPA: Rave Preparation Archive

Photo boxset made in response to an essay exploring the role of attachment and collective memory in London’s rave scene.

Inspired by my visits to the Bishopsgate Institute’s archives, I looked at archival practices and intended to create the foundations for an ever-expanding documentation of my experiences and the interpersonal relationships I have formed in London’s nightlife scene.

The archvie consists of found photographs taken at pre-rave parties and outfit lookbooks, alongside acompanying texts from those featured in the archive, explaining their connections to the outfits and the significance they hold.

The Rave Preparation Archive is organised by series, fond and file, with different event collectives having their own series. 

Printed using archival-grade pigment giclée on acid-free G.F. Smith Colorplan and Cromatico Digital.
