THE CODE
— Visualising a sonic world for one of UK’s most innovative musicians.
Each release was presented through small videos, merchandise releases and website updates. I designed and produced all of the necessary assets in close collaboration with The Code.
To celebrate the transformation through the artworks, we concepted a digital museum, where users could interact with the key elements. Each element was displayed in its essence, as abstract forms for exploration.
Following the third release Mercury, we began differentiating the digital persona of The Code from the human one. “Flashback” is a reflection of the visual journey until that point and sets the scene for the transformation. It introduces a pulsating light entity as the digital presence of the sound, and an abstract space to contain the interactions.
For the following releases, I began creating sound-driven 3D setups to bring the pulse alive. With these generative videos, listeners can experience the digital persona of The Code as a viewer.
“Design” is a 360 video which unveils the layer between the audience and the real world that surrounds it. This layer, presented as a spherical room transforms with the intensity of the vocoder frequencies. Viewer can look around, witnessing time outside progressing at warp speed.
“Opia”, features a light setup that is powered by the strength of frequencies, displayed behind frosted glass. It’s an analogue approach with a digital result, akin to the production method of The Code. The form of the installation is inspired by the greek word opia, the sensation of deep eye contact.
The Code is an ongoing project with a strong vision, a passionate audience, and more chapters being revealed consistently.
