Caandides before the art EP /more photos

⇞ Back (left) and front (right) of the cd (more infos here) ; there are no informations but the band’s name and the initials of the title.

⇟ Close-ups of the halfttones ; this series is printed on a laser, therefore the pattern is slightly 3D (a bit like a screenprint).

⇟ The sleeve opens at the top (these types of sleeves usually open like this), inside there is a cd wrapped in a 4 pages booklet (I am not even sure I can call that a booklet since its more like a spread).

⇟ The artwork on the actual disc is a variation of the sleeve’s black pattern with bigger dots.

⇟ The booklet/spread comes in several colours (it depends on your luck when buying the cd), it includes the set list on one side and a photo on the other.

⇟ On the central spread there are Before the art’s lyrics -and awesome (and not random) fact, it looks like mountains seen sideways (second image below).

⇟ You can listen to the music on Deezer and Bandcamp (with the old artwork).

⇟ This is the first Before the art cd in an envelope format, the current design is a mix of both the artwork you can see on the bandcamp and the black and white halftoned version below.

⇟ So far, there are two others envelope cds half-a-beat 1 (made in 2010, it’s the green one) and half-a-beat 0 (made in 2011, the one with the hand), they both use halftones and a give a low-fi feel. Everything is hand-made by the whole of Caandides with love.

Caandides/Before the Art -new artwork

artwork in collaboration with Gabriel Wéber – more photos coming soon

** update

I thought I’ll add few words about the design. We thought it as a contemplative landscape (that was for the initial visual -see here) that we then modified in order to connote and relate to the previous releases (here). I have called it a landscape but actually, it is as much an abstract pattern as it can be seen as a figurative illustration.We chose a minimalistic and elegant typesetting which discretion puts the emphasis on the visual and invite to dive into it.

KAALEIDOSCOPEZ

Here are two different editings for the kaleidoscopic video for caandides.com. Right now, I prefer the second one: I find it more coherent and I also feel that the first one displays too many different effects without really having them work together.

More works on the kaleidoscopic video I am making for caandides website -the images on the films are of my screenprints.

kaleidoscopic experimentations

From one of my screenprints, initially made for an animation for Caandides, but I will probably make one for the website as well. These are only a starting point,  not final works.

(it also looks interesting seen a a mosaic ▿)
