about

Kraft und Licht is a creative event and production agency operating from their warehouse based in Diemen, equipped with recording studios and with a monthly curated cultural/educational programme for their community. VA001 is a collection of tracks made by several Kraft und Licht residents and other local producers. The sound varies from steady club hitters to sweet after groovers.

This series of album artworks captures the energy and spirit of the music it accompanies. It features a bold, abstract pattern of waveforms traveling over the sphere’s surface as the audio signal progresses over time. The design is a dynamic mix of audio-visualisation and generative design, using contemporary computational methods to synthesise shapes from sound.

In the process of making these works, several techniques including artificial intelligence and shaders were used. For each individual track on the release a three-dimensional spectrogram is created and transformed to a spherical shape. The geometry of the sphere is a visual representation of the track’s frequency, time, and intensity. This type of audio visualisation allows for the identification of patterns in the audio signal and can be used to reveal trends, structure, and other interesting characteristics. Each song on the release is unique in its composition and energy, but even more so in the most low-level representation of each track, namely its data. The visual artist sought to use that what makes each track unique — its audio-fingerprint — as a starting point of his experimentation.

Finally, after all spectrograms and geometries were computed, a final algorithm was used to average all individual signals into a combined one. This combined signal tells us something about the EP as a whole, and as a sum of its parts, and was presented as the cover for the release. The artwork shows a collection of sonic sculptures: capturing the energy and spirit of each individual track on the “Various Abstractions” EP by Kraft und Licht.
