Sonic: Visuals for Music

『Sonic: Visuals for Music』

A definitive collection of music x graphic design, featuring over 1,000 visual expressions of music, including record jackets and concert posters from around the world.

It broadly covers underground, indie, pop, alternative rock, and electronica, and is structured to provide an overview of the expressive world of artists whose music and visuals are strongly connected, such as Bjork, Radiohead, Aphex Twin, and Daft Punk.

Album artwork, tour posters, typography, and experimental graphics. This book is not just a collection of works, but rather, through its overwhelming number of examples and editorial power, it raises the questions:
"Why was this visual necessary for this music?"
"How has the musical experience been visualized?"

A must-have reference book for creators working at the intersection of sound and vision, including graphic design, art direction, music videos, live visuals, VJs, and music production.

The high-quality binding and editing, typical of Gestalten, are also attractive, making it a valuable book both as an inspiration book and as a reference for concept design.
