CD-ROM

Alongside design, music is another world that fascinates me. Being able to work on a project like this one, which brings these two fields together, was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. So he gave me free rein to create the digital and physical visuals (digipack, CD, booklet, etc.).

The story of Omahana takes us deep into the mind and heart of C-ROM, into his memories and deepest emotions. To bring this to life visually, I drew inspiration from the scientific research of Ernst Chaldni. His work makes it possible to “see music” by causing sand to dance on a plate using a sound source in perpetual motion. Thanks to sound frequencies, the plate creates a tangle of lines and curves resembling a labyrinth. Applied to C-ROM’s world, these patterns evoke winding paths, trajectories, and obstacles that embody the reflection of his past. I therefore generated this gray, evolving, and mysterious form in 3D, which appears on the album cover and in its variations.

The story of Omahana was released on May 24 on all streaming platforms and in physical format. The journey is long, and this time we’re setting off.
