Inspiration
Tomasz Stanko - Polish Radio Sessions brings together 39 previously unreleased recordings from 1970-1991. The visual concept is based on the idea of a master's mark, a distilled signature of the artist. A black and white typographic composition built from the letters of his surname turns typography into form and rhythm. Six covers reinterpret one motif, forming a modular whole that reflects the tension and focus of his music.
Project Duration
The project began in March 2025 in Warsaw and Lodz and was completed in October 2025 in Warsaw and Lodz. The box set went on sale in November 2025.
Operation Flow
Unwrap and enjoy the music.
