After two deep emotional cuts it is time to share his enlightment with a EP full of electronic-infused dance songs. After helping Cero Ismael with graphic design for his second EP ‘As Much As You Did Before’ it was my turn to take the role of Art Director for his third project. Work included creating the original concept, graphic and motion design for singles and events. All of this was through close collaboration with Cero Ismael and other collaborators. In May we concluded the whole journey with a listening session at InDebt Studio and a release party at Kanaal40 Amsterdam.

They created their own visual version based on the feeling they got from the music. Every single is brought alive, used throughout various digital assets. The EP was months later given a boost with the video ‘SAM’, which we did a screening for in Amsterdam cinema FC Hyena.
