About Tomasz Stanko Albumverpackungsdesign

Tomasz Stanko Polish Radio Sessions ass en Albumverpackungsdesign, dat fir eng Sammlung vu 39 virdrun onverëffentlechten Opnamen erstallt gouf, déi tëscht 1970 an 1991 gemaach goufen. D'Verëffentlechung enthält sechs Vinylplacken, eng Compact-Disc-Editioun an eng 48-säiteg Broschür mat Archivfotoen a perséinleche Reflexiounen. D'visuell Identitéit baséiert op enger schwaarz-wäisser typografescher Kompositioun, déi aus de Buschtawen vum Familljennumm vum Museker opgebaut ass. Sechs Coveren interpretéieren ee Motiv nei a bilden e modulart Ganzt. D'Verpackung gëtt am Offsetdrock gedréckt a mat enger matter Laminéierung ofgeschloss.

Six covers reinterpret one motif, forming a modular whole that reflects the tension and focus of his music.
