COMPLE:X is a complextro compilation album released by K@keru Records. Eight composers created original instrumental music for this album. Complextro is a genre of music which is typified by glitchy, intricate basslines and textures created by sharply cutting between various instruments in quick succession. I designed the album cover to visualize the beauty and complexity of complextro.

COMPLE:X CD Case Overview

DESIGN

Butterfly diagrams of FFT (Fast Fourier Transform, an algorithm to analyze sound wave) provided inspiration to this graphic. Crossing lines express the complexity and also represent Kakeru (×: multiply). In addition to that, the graphic was decorated with various motifs related to music such as five-line staff and automation graph of DAW.
