Chromatic Radio
A self-produced album; 55 minutes, 15 songs, featuring the frequencies of 12 friends and musical co-conspirators.
I’ve wanted to produce an album for a decade. After cultivating the skills required for at least as long, Chromatic Radio is a synthesis of my creative practices, converging my life as a musician with my work as a designer.

Design Approach
A concept to bring all the different genres represented in the album into cohesion. The Chromatic Radio is a radio tuned with RGB hex codes instead of frequencies.
A visual language that leans into colour. Each collaborator selected three hex codes as representations of their song. These hex codes are the frequencies used to tune to a fictional radio station that their song might play on.
